What is Xiao Tian?

Xiao Tian, the zodiac, refers to the "dragon".

The Book of Changes is a "classical Chinese" in the Ninth Five-Year Plan: the Ninth Five-Year Plan says that "flying dragons are in the sky, which is beneficial to meet adults". What is this? Confucius said, "Answer with one voice and ask with one spirit; The water is wet and the fire is dry; Clouds rise from dragons and winds from tigers; Sages do everything and see everything. Those who are close to the sky and those who are close to the earth are all from this class. " So "cloud" means "dragon". Dragons fly in the sky, so Xiao Tian refers to dragons.

The Chinese nation regards the dragon as a national symbol. Claiming to be "descendants of the dragon".

In the traditional customs of China, dragons are in charge of rainwater. In the past, the Yellow Calendar listed "Counting dragons to control water".

Several dragons control water: the first day of the first month is the first day of the morning (dragon), so there are "several dragons control water". For example, the fifth day of the first month is the first day of the morning (dragon), so there will be "five dragons control water" this year. It is said that the dragon rains more and the dragon rains less. There is a folk saying that the dragon rains more.

In the past, due to the low level of productivity, people mainly "depended on the weather", especially in the arid areas in the north, which shows that rainwater can be reused in agricultural production.

People pray for good weather, which is a psychological expression of people seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, and also a respect and awe for nature. Even today, we still need to respect and act according to objective laws.
