From the Qin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, it has always been the imperial palace and has been favored by all dynasties. pet, as a treasure. In ancient times, it was only allowed to breed in the palace for the entertainment of the royal relatives, ministers and officials of the court. In the palaces of all dynasties, the long coat of the Peking dog was used instead of the hair of the Tibetan yak to drive away flying insects for the Buddha statue. Due to the long-term prohibition in the court environment, it is the Pekingese that maintains a rare pure blood, and at the same time brings a somewhat elegant and mysterious aristocratic color.

The earliest origin of the Pekingese dog cannot be verified. The earliest records began in the Tang Dynasty in the 8th century. This ancient dog has been only allowed to be kept by the royal family since it was recorded. According to historical records, there was a case in the Tang Dynasty in which someone was sentenced for smuggling a Pekingese dog. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty would use the dog to bury him when he died, so as to ensure that the emperor could return to the next life together.

During the Song Dynasty, the dog was called Luohong dog or Luojiang dog. In the Yuan Dynasty, they were called golden dogs. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, people also called them peony dogs. The Empress Dowager Cixi loved this dog very much. At that time, in order to show the dignity of the imperial power, the common people were still not allowed to keep Pekingese dogs except for the imperial palace and the princes and ministers, otherwise they would be severely punished. Moreover, the exclusive honor of the Pekingese does not stop there. The palace officials love the Pekingese to the extent that they must "carry it with you", and put it in the wide sleeves when they go out. Therefore, the Pekingese is also known as the "sleeve dog".

For hundreds of years, eunuchs have taken the responsibility of preserving the pure blood of the Pekingese and established strict breeding standards. Therefore, until now, the appearance characteristics of Pekingese and their ancestors are not much different.

Before the middle of the 19th century, the Pekingese were little known to Westerners. In the early 20th century, several wars that affected Beijing caused these deep palace poodles to live in the people and even spread overseas. In 1861, the British and French forces invaded Beijing. In the former royal forbidden area, they saw an amazing scene: the noble Gege committed suicide in the deep palace, and five Pekingese dogs accompanied her. Although the owner is dead, the five dogs are still loyally guarding their mistress.

General Dunne brought the 5 Pekingese back to England as "trophies" and dedicated one of them, named Looty, to Queen Victoria, the queen Named "Funny Dog" and loved it. This dog was brought to the UK from Beijing and is called the Peking Dog. The dog lived until 1872, and the famous painter Sir Edwin Landseer once created a famous painting with Luty as the theme. Since then, the naive, well-behaved and exquisite Pekingese have fascinated Westerners with their unique demeanor and loyalty to their owners, and have gradually become popular all over the world.

Compared with the Pekingese in foreign countries, the Pekingese in China are not so lucky. Due to years of war, they have lost the possibility to survive as an independent watch dog. disappeared in social unrest.
