What's the name of the zodiac?

Tai sui Shen: Originally Taoist honorific title for the stars, referred to as Tai sui for short, or "Old God", "Old King", "Old Star" and "General", that is, the most powerful god among the gods. It is the most powerful god in a year, in charge of the good and bad fortune of the world in a year, and has the title of "the son of heaven in the year". There are 60 tai sui strategists, each with his name. The sequence of tai sui is years old, and the cycle is endless. From General Jinchi in Jiazi year to General Yu Chengda in Guihai year, according to the 60 Jiazi, he took turns to take charge of the good and bad of the human year, so he was also called "the messenger of the year" or "Tai Sui". As the old saying goes, "Tai sui is like a king, the head of the gods and the Lord of all evils, so don't offend." Due to the high status of Tai Sui God, everyone is afraid of it. In order to avoid getting too old, we must seek "old age blessing" during the Spring Festival to pray for a safe and smooth new year.

In addition, because the name of Tai Sui is not offensive, if someone's name is the same as that of the fleeting Tai Sui, it is also against the Tai Sui taboo.

There are 60 generals in Tai Sui, who take turns to be in charge for one year. They are the most powerful gods in a year. Except the Jade Emperor, almost all the gods obeyed their orders. Therefore, if they offend him, they are called "committing too old".

The zodiac is too old: Doom is nine sons, and six stars in the three constellations of Gouchen, Arctic and Beidou China are sixty generals, which means sixty is too old. Tai sui is the god in charge of all human affairs in a year, and the most powerful god in a year. Except the Jade Emperor, almost all the gods must obey his orders. Therefore, offending him is called "committing tai sui". Constellations have different positions. The ancients, represented by heavenly stems and earthly branches, supported the constellation position of "Zi, Ugliness, Yin, Mao, Chen, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai", that is, punishment, rush, destruction and harm. Therefore, every year, Tai Sui and every zodiac have the opportunity to break through punishment and harm, and the so-called "crime" appears.
