The origin of the zodiac was first seen in The Book of Songs, the first poetry collection in the world. The Book of Songs? Xiaoya? Car attack "said:" Today is auspicious day and noon, so I am short of horses. "In the mid-1970s, thousands of bamboo slips unearthed in Hubei proved that the China Zodiac was used in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. According to documents, there were twelve earthly branches in the era of the Yellow Emperor, which were related to the twelve constellations such as Aries, Taurus, Gemini and Cancer. The earliest twelve earthly branches and twelve constellations represented twelve different months and festivals every year. Ten characters such as A, B, C and D were invented in Yin and Shang Dynasties. Later, people who study numerology called them heavenly stems, and combined them with earthly branches, such as Jia Zi and E Chou, to calculate years, months, days and hours.

According to legend, Dong Fangshuo in the Han Dynasty proposed to replace the twelve earthly branches with twelve kinds of animals to represent the twelve-month season. There is a clear record of "Yan Dou" in Lun Heng written by Wang Chong in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He mentioned the names of twelve animals. Counting the year with the zodiac also began in the Eastern Han Dynasty. As for why twelve animals are chosen as symbols, it may be related to totems at the earliest. In ancient times, all tribes would choose an animal that they were particularly afraid of or loved, and take its pattern as the symbol of their tribe. It is also believed that the zodiac first appeared in the writing period. A day and night is twenty-four hours. Ancient astronomers divided a day and night into twelve hours. At the same time, when they watch the astronomical phenomena, they determine the zodiac according to the living habits and activities of twelve animals. From eleven o'clock at night to one o'clock the next morning, rats are frequently active in the dead of night. They are called "rats". From 1: 00 to 3: 00 in the morning, it's ugly. Cattle are used to eating grass at night, and farmers often get up late at night to feed them, so they are called "ugly cows".

From three to five in the morning, it belongs to Yin Shi. At this time, the tiger lying in the daytime and walking at night is the fiercest. The ancients often heard the roar of tigers at this time, so they were called "Yinhu".

From five o'clock to seven o'clock in the morning in Shi Mao, rabbits come out of their nests at dawn and like to eat grass with morning dew, so they are called "hairy rabbits".

It is morning from 7: 00 to 9: 00 in the morning, and it is usually foggy at this time. It is said that Dragon Xi is walking in the clouds, and it is also worthy of the rising sun, so it is called "Chen Long".

From 9: 00 am to 1 1: 00 am, this is the fourth hour. At this time, the fog cleared and the sun was shining. The snake came out of the hole to feed and pretended to be a "snake".

From eleven o'clock to one o'clock at noon, it is noon. In ancient times, wild horses were not tamed by humans. Every noon, they will run around and scream, so they are called "afternoon horses".

1: 00 to 3: 00 in the afternoon is inappropriate. In some places, it is called "sheep out of the slope", which means that this is a good time to herd sheep, so it is called "no herding sheep". From 3: 00 pm to 5: 00 pm, it is the application time. At this time, monkeys like to crow, so they are called "application monkeys". It is unitary time from five to seven in the afternoon. When the sun goes down, the chicken rotates in front of the nest, so it is called "unitary chicken". 7: 00 pm to 9: 00 pm is the time to prepare for a rest after a hard day's work. The dog lay in front of the door to guard. As soon as there is movement, they bark and shout, so they are called "dogs". From 9: 00 to 1 1 at night, it belongs to the sea, and the sound of pig arches can be heard in the dead of night, so it is called "sea pig". In this way, one day is arranged with animals: mice, ugly cows, yinhu, maotu, dragons, snakes, afternoon horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs. Later, people used this method to determine the year, and the zodiac appeared.

Record the year with the time represented by each of the 12 zodiac animals, and the order is mouse, ugly cow, yinhu, maotu, dragon, snake, afternoon horse, sheep, monkey, you chicken, you dog and hai pig.

Zodiac and twelve o'clock

Noon (23: 00-0: 00), noon (1: 00-2: 00), noon (3: 00-4: 00), noon (5: 00-6: 00) and noon (7: 00) are not (sheep).

What is the arrangement of ugliness, yin and Mao corresponding to the zodiac? The first is the arrangement of the zodiac in folklore stories.

Han folk story says: In those days, Emperor Xuanyuan wanted to choose twelve kinds of animals as court guards. The cat asked the mouse to sign up, but the mouse forgot. As a result, the cat didn't choose it, and since then, it has made enemies with the mouse. The elephant also came to the competition, and the mouse got into its nose and drove it away. The other animals, originally headed by cattle, were driven to the back of the cattle, and the pigs hissed, so the rats came first and the pork chops came last. The tiger and the dragon refused to accept it, and were named King of the Mountain and King of the Sea, ranking behind the mouse and the cow. The rabbit refused to accept it again, and raced with the dragon, and finally ended in front of the dragon. The dog was unfair and bit the rabbit in a rage, so he was punished in the penultimate place. Snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys and chickens have also experienced some competitions and arranged their positions one by one. Finally, the order of rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs was formed. Although this legendary story is not a scientific explanation of this problem, it embodies people's explanation of the choice of the zodiac.

Secondly, ancient scholars in China explained the relationship between earthly branches and Xiao beasts from the perspective of twelve o'clock in ancient times.

There is chaos in the darkness. In the middle of the night, mice come out to move and bite the chaotic state between heaven and earth out of the gap. "Rats bite the sky", so they belong to mice. When the sky opens, the land will be reclaimed. "This land will be saved from ugliness. "Cows should cultivate the land, so ugliness belongs to cows. Yin Shi is the time when a person is born, and when he is alive, there is bound to be death. Nothing can kill a person more than a tiger. Yin means awe, so Yin belongs to a tiger. Shi Mao is the image of sunrise, and the sun should be separated from divination, which is like fire, and the yin contained in it is the jade rabbit of the moon, so Shi Mao belongs to the rabbit. The divinatory symbol Chen in March is in the rainy season. Chen Tiansheng is a dragon. In April, at this moment, spring grass is flourishing, which is a good day for snakes, just like fish getting water. Besides, it's morning and the snake is returning to the cave, so it belongs to the snake. At noon and afternoon, the sun's spirit reaches its peak, and the yin is budding. A horse, an animal, runs, its hooves fly, but it tramples on the ground from time to time. The sky is yang, the earth is yin, and the horse jumps between yin and yang, so it becomes the zodiac at noon. Sheep, grazing in the afternoon is the best time, and it is easy to gain weight. This time is not timely, so it is not a sheep. Not after applying for the World Heritage, but when the monkey is crying near the Western Hills. Monkeys like to stretch their arms and jump at this time, so the monkey is worth applying for the World Heritage. When the moon appears, it belongs to water, so it should be divination. The divinatory symbols are the upper and lower yin, while the middle yang represents the essence of the sun and the sun. Because of this, you are a chicken. When night falls, it's time. Dogs are vigil animals, and become dogs with them. Then when the sea comes, the world is immersed in chaos again, just like fruit wrapped in stones, and everything in the world is covered at night. Pigs are chaotic creatures that only know how to eat, so pigs have become the animal sign of Hai. Zhu, a famous Neo-Confucianist in Song Dynasty, holds this view.

Thirdly, according to China people's belief in Yin and Yang, twelve kinds of animals are divided into Yin and Yang, and the Yin and Yang of animals are arranged according to the odd-even difference of toes.

Animals generally have the same number of front, back, left and right toes, while mice are the only animals with four feet and five feet, even and odd, and things are rare, of course, they rank first, followed by cattle and four toes (even number); Tiger, five toes (odd number); Rabbit, four toes (even number); Dragon, five toes (odd number); Snakes, no toes (even number); Horse, one toe (odd number); Sheep, four toes (even number); Monkey, five toes (odd number); Chicken, four toes (even number); Dog, five toes (odd number); Pig, four toes (even number). Hong Xun, a scholar in the Song Dynasty, held this view, and Lang Ying, an Amin scholar, classified it on this basis and published it in Seven Collations? In the Chinese zodiac, it is suggested that "the earth branches below", so we should look at the number of toes in different yin and yang. The mouse has four claws in front, even number is yin, hind foot is five claws, and odd number is yang. The first half of Zishi is the Yin last night, and the second half is the Yang today, just using mice to symbolize Zishi. The four claws of cattle, sheep, pig's trotters and chickens, plus the lack of lips and claws of rabbits and the tongue of snakes, should be even, belonging to yin, accounting for six. Tigers have five claws, monkeys and dogs have five claws, and horseshoes are round and undivided. All six are odd numbers, belonging to Yang, and together with the mice belonging to Yang form the other six earthly branches. Lang Ying's classification is the flood borrowing classification, and they are similar.

The above three explanations explain the arrangement of the zodiac from different angles, and the folklore about the arrangement of animals in the zodiac is very rich. On the one hand, the spread of these legends enriches the content of the zodiac, on the other hand, it also promotes the inheritance and development of the zodiac culture. The zodiac is divided into two categories, Yin and Yang, which are included in the concept of China people's belief in the five elements, aiming at linking the zodiac with life rituals and linking Yin and Yang with the five elements ...

How to Know the Zodiac of Date In ancient times, the timing method was based on heavenly stems and earthly branches. The heavenly stems were "A, B, C and D" and the earthly branches "Zi Ugly Yin Mao" were the 12 zodiac signs of China.

You can buy a book and read it for ten thousand years. What year does it correspond to? What month? When to be scared is a common saying.

For example, the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games is August 8, and heavenly stems and earthly branches is the year of Wuzi, the year of Gengzi Shen Yue and the year of Gengchen. Namely, the Year of Rat, the Year of Monkey and the Dragon Day. I hope it can help you understand.

What day is it in the China Zodiac? Today is the second day, and it belongs to a snake.

What is the order of the zodiac? 1, the origin of the zodiac

As an ancient folk cultural phenomenon, scholars have different opinions about the origin of the zodiac. Some people think that the zodiac and the earthly branch have the same origin, which can be traced back to the prehistoric legend era. In the historical records, the statement that the Yellow Emperor "built Jiazi all his life" and "made great efforts to cure Jiazi" is the embodiment of this statement. Scholars believe that Jiazi here refers to the zodiac. Zhao Yi, a scholar in Qing Dynasty, believed that the zodiac originated from nomadic people in northern China. He said in "An Examination of Jade Cong": "At the beginning of the custom of covering the north, there was no ugliness on the 12th, and it spread to China in different years, which was worthy of your ears." (see Qing? Zhao Yi's Language Congkao). Some scholars even think that the zodiac was introduced to China from Babylon. The representative of this view is Guo Moruo, who wrote in The Study of Oracle Characters? Shi Zhigan said: "Twelve Xiaoxiangs have been found in Babylon, Egypt and India, but they are not very old, and they are not from places after the Xiji Dynasty 100 years ago. The intention is that this was made in the Western countries during the Han Dynasty, imitating the Babylonian zodiac and then spreading to the surrounding areas. " It is believed that the Chinese Zodiac was formulated by Middle Eastern residents imitating the Babylonian Zodiac, and it was introduced to China during the communication between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions. The above viewpoints are different, so I dare not judge right or wrong subjectively. However, through a large number of documents, it is proved that the Zodiac really originated in China, and it is the crystallization of China ancestors' animal worship, totem worship and early astronomy.

The Book of Songs is the earliest record of the zodiac in the existing literature. The Book of Songs? Xiaoya? "auspicious day" has eight words, meaning auspicious day, which is a good day for prancing hunting. This is an example of afternoon horse collocation. It can be seen that the corresponding relationship between earthly branches and twelve kinds of animals has been established and spread around the Spring and Autumn Period. 1975, the bamboo slips unearthed from TombNo. 1 1 in Shuihudi, Yunmeng County, Hubei Province, further prove that the twelve zodiac signs existed before and after the Spring and Autumn Period. There is a chapter named "Thief" in the bamboo slips unearthed in Japan, which is about the thief's appearance characteristics. It is recorded that: "Zi, mouse and thief are eager for his mouth, … ugly, ox, thief has a big nose and a long neck, … Yin, tiger and thief like it and long for his beard, and his face is dark." Hair, rabbits, thieves are big. Chen, [words leaked] the thief is a man, green and red ... already, insects are also, thieves grow black. At noon, the deer also, the thief has a long neck and a small Q, and his body is incomplete. ..... No, horses, thieves have ears. ",ring also, thief round face ..."

The zodiac recorded in Japanese books is roughly similar to the popular saying now. According to textual research, the tomb of Shuihudi 1 1 dates back to the 30th year of Qin Shihuang (2 17 BC), so the appearance of the zodiac can be traced back to at least the Spring and Autumn Period before Qin Dynasty. Scholars believe that this is the earliest and most systematic record of the zodiac found in China so far.

Exactly the same as today's popular zodiac is the record of Wang Chong in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Wang Chong's On Balance? Material potential "includes:

"Yin, wood, its bird, tiger. The soil, so are its birds and dogs. ..... At noon, the horse also arrived. Son, mouse, unitary, chicken. Hairy people, rabbits are also. ..... hey, tapir. No, so are sheep. Ugly people are cows. ..... the snake has also. The applicant is also a monkey. "

In the above text, there are eleven kinds of animals in the zodiac, but the dragon is gone. The book Poison says:

"Chen is a dragon snake. Chen and Ji are in the southeast. "

In this way, the zodiac is complete, and it is exactly the same as the popular zodiac. This is indeed the earliest and most complete record of the Chinese zodiac in ancient literature. .

By the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the zodiac had been widely used. There was a specific record in the Five Elements Records that people belong to an animal according to the year of birth. Southern dynasties? Chen? The poet Shen Jiong once wrote a poem about the zodiac, which wrote:

"In the case of mice and dust, cattle and sheep fall at dusk.

Tigers feed and inhabit in the empty valley, and rabbits open the window to the moon.

The dragon is far green, and the snake willow is near.

Malanfang is far away, and sheep are planted in spring.

The monkey chestnut shames the fragrant fruit, and the chicken anvil leads to a clear cup.

Dogs care about things, but pigs are carefree. "

This poem of the zodiac is obviously written in the order of animals assigned by the twelve branches, which shows that people were very familiar with the zodiac at that time.

From the above documents, it can be clear that the origin of the Chinese zodiac culture is in China. According to the foreign zodiac, the zodiac was introduced to China from the Middle East in the Han Dynasty, which is similar to the time when Buddhism was introduced. We prove from the above-mentioned documents that China recorded the zodiac as early as the Spring and Autumn Period (The Book of Heaven and The Book of Songs), which shows that the birth of the zodiac and the matching between the zodiac and the earthly branches came into being as early as the Han Dynasty, so it can be agreed that ...
