The story of the tiger in the zodiac

What's the story of the tiger in the zodiac? According to legend, there were no tigers in the ancient Chinese zodiac, only lions. Because the lion is strong and fierce, it has ruined its reputation. The Jade Emperor, who is in charge of conferring the animal genus, wants to remove the lion from the list, but he must add an animal that can manage the forest. The jade emperor has a headache for this matter.

One day, the Jade Emperor summoned all the immortals to the court and told them about it so that they could discuss it together. After a burst of chatter, all the immortals said it was hard to do. Everyone knows the lion's temper and will do anything to annoy him.

Can't you just watch the lion do whatever he wants? I saw the old gentleman stand up and staggered to the Jade Emperor: "Your Majesty, let me talk about my personal opinion."

I saw the old gentleman stroking his beard and clearing his throat: "In my opinion, the samurai guards in front of the temple should be sealed as a genus, so that your majesty can decide ..." Before the old gentleman finished speaking, the Jade Emperor repeatedly called: "Take it, take it! Just give the Tiger Guardian a genus. "

The immortals were so happy to see the Jade Emperor that they echoed this voice.

It is said that the Tiger Guardian was once an unknown animal on the ground. He learned eighteen martial arts from master cat, such as biting, scratching, jumping, beating and cutting. It is very famous among mountain animals. Some people who have struggled with it will die, some will be injured and some will be disabled for life. Because of this, tigers dominate the forest and are awesome everywhere.

The jade emperor heard that the tiger was brave and invincible, so he sent it to the sky to wait for orders.

Since the tiger became the patron saint of the sky, the birds and animals in the underground have been neglected and run amok in droves, causing panic among the people. The land god quickly wrote the story into a script and reported it to the jade emperor, who sent heavenly soldiers to suppress it. The jade emperor called the tiger to the court and said, "I know you are very capable, so I sent you to earth to teach those evil animals a lesson." Are you willing to share this trouble for me? "

The tiger straightened up after hearing this, and a pair of front paws arched to the jade emperor: "Your Majesty, this is just a piece of cake. I want to be diligent. However, I have a small request. " "If you have any requirements, just say so."

The tiger looked up: "Your Majesty, as the guardian in front of your temple and as your subject, I should share your worries and solve problems. But I have a strange problem, that is, I never bury meat in rice. I like to pay attention to the ins and outs, no matter big or small, I must understand clearly! "

"Just understand, come quickly if you have any requirements."

"In fact, my request is not high. I only ask that every time I win, your majesty give me a merit, and I don't want your majesty to give me any reward. " The jade emperor just wanted peace on earth as soon as possible, so he readily agreed to the tiger's request.

The tiger came to the world and learned that the lion, wild boar and bear were the three most powerful animals at that time. With its bravery and superb martial arts, it defeated lions, wild boars and bears in succession. Other evil beasts fled at the wind and hid in the uninhabited wilderness forest. Since then, the whole world has been cheering and jumping for joy. People say that tigers have made great contributions to world peace.

After the tiger returned to the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor drew three red bars on his forehead with a red pen, saying that this was a sign of merit. Soon, the East China Sea tortoise with its soldiers and crabs will harass the world again, and Wang Yang is everywhere. At this time, the jade emperor decreed that the tiger came down to kill the turtle monster. The jade emperor was so happy that he gave the tiger another merit. He raised the scarlet pen and made a deep stroke on the tiger's forehead. As a result, the tiger left a striking and powerful "king" on his forehead.

Soon, the Jade Emperor removed the title of the lion's animal sign and was exiled to the far, far south to serve as a soldier. He added a tiger to his animal sign. Since then, the tiger has also descended from the guardian in front of the Jade Emperor Temple, and has always maintained peace in the lower world.

What are the stories about the zodiac? One of the stories of the zodiac.

Do you know what you belong to? Some are rabbits, some are tigers ... some are cats? No, how can there be mice without cats? Here is a story.

A long time ago, one day, people said, "We want to choose twelve animals as the human zodiac, one animal a year." How many kinds of animals are there in the world? How to choose? Tell you what, set a date. On this day, when animals come to sign up, they will choose the first twelve animals as the zodiac.

Cats and mice are neighbors and good friends. They all want to sign up. The cat said, "we have to get up early to register, but I like to sleep late." What should I do? " The mouse said, "Don't worry, don't worry. You can sleep deeply. I'll call you as soon as I wake up. Let's go together. " The cat was very happy and said, "You are really my good friend, thank you."

By the morning of registration, the mouse was awake, but it only thought about its own business and forgot its good friend's cat. I signed up myself.

As a result, I chose the mouse. Where is the cat? The cat got up too late because it went to bed late. When it arrived, twelve animals had been selected.

If the cat is not selected, it will be angry with the mouse, blaming the mouse for not calling it. Since then, cats will eat mice when they see them, and the mice have to run away desperately.

It's still like this.

Do you know which constellation?

They are rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs.

How to make the mouse rank first? Here's another story.

On the day of registration, the mouse got up early and the cow got up early. They met on the road. Cows take big strides, mice take small steps. The mouse was out of breath and barely kept up with the cow. The mouse thought, the road is still far, and I can't run fast. what can I do? He used his head and came up with an idea. He said to the cow, "Niu Ge, I'll sing you a song." The cow said, "OK, you sing-hey, why don't you sing?" The mouse said, "I am singing." Why didn't you hear me? " Oh, my voice was too low for you to hear. Tell you what, let me ride around your neck and sing, and you will hear me. "The cow said," good, good! "The mouse climbed up the cow's neck along the cow's leg, so the cow was comfortable carrying it. It bobbed to sing:

Niu Ge, Niu Ge, cross the river, climb the hillside, drive, drive, hurry up! Niu Yi was very happy to hear that. He spread his legs and ran as fast as he could. He ran to the place where he signed up. No one came. He wept with joy: "I am the first, I am the first!" " Before the cow finished speaking, the mouse jumped down from the cow's neck, jumped to the ground and squeaked in front of the cow. As a result, the mouse won the first place and the cow won the second place. So in the zodiac, the little mouse ranks first.

The Story of the Zodiac II

How to choose the zodiac is a topic handed down from ancient times. Legend has it that one year, when the Jade Emperor celebrated his birthday, he ordered all the animals to come to celebrate his birthday on the ninth day of the first month, and decided to choose 12 kinds of animals to celebrate his birthday in the order of reporting, as the guards in heaven, and take turns to be on duty every year.

According to legend, mice and cats were neighbors at that time, but big cats often bullied weak mice, and mice often just got angry with cats and dared not speak. This cat has a problem with sleepiness. After receiving the jade emperor's order, the mouse secretly rejoiced that the opportunity to retaliate against the cat had finally come. Sure enough, the cat knocked on the door of the mouse's house and asked the mouse to wake him up for the jade emperor's birthday. The mouse readily agreed. In order to get back at the cat, the mouse set off quietly in the early morning of the ninth day of the first month.

Although the mouse got up early and ran fast, it was worried when it reached the wide river facing Taotao River, so it had to sit by the river and wait for other animals to cross the river, jump on their backs and cross the river with their help. After waiting for a long time, the earliest Niu Yi walked silently to the river. At the moment the cow swam into the water, the mouse jumped into the cow's ear. Cows are usually known for their simplicity and helpfulness, so they don't care about mice's guesses. After crossing the river, the mouse found it comfortable and labor-saving to lie in the cow's ear. It didn't mean to jump. Near noon, the cow carried the mouse outside the Jade Emperor's mansion.

When Niu Gang wanted to enter the door, the mouse jumped out of the cow's ear and jumped to the jade emperor first. In this way, the mouse finally won the first place. And the cow that carried it all the way won the second place. Later, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens and dogs ... > >

There is a myth about the origin of the zodiac:

It is said that the Jade Emperor wanted to select 12 kinds of animals as representatives, and then sent immortals to tell the animals about it, and set a time to come to the Tiangong in Maoli during the reign of Taizu. The sooner he came, the more he swallowed it, but the later one could not. At that time, cats and mice were still good friends. The cat loves to sleep, but he also wants to be chosen, so he asks the mouse to call him. But the mouse forgot as soon as it turned its head. The mouse went to the old cow and said that he got up early and ran fast, so the cow could take him. The old cow agreed

At that time, dragons had no horns and chickens had horns. The dragon told the chicken that the chicken was already very beautiful and didn't need horns, so he let the chicken lend it to him. The chicken was very happy when he heard the flattery of the dragon, so he lent his horn to the dragon and told him to pay back the money on time after the election. Long readily agreed.

In the year of Mao Mao, Uzuki, when the cat was still sleeping, many animals rushed to the Heavenly Palace.

The mouse sits on the cow's back. After reaching heaven, the mouse jumped up. The Jade Emperor said that the mice arrived first, which made them the first. Old steak is second; The tiger also arrived late, ranking third; The rabbit also arrived, ranking fourth; The dragon came late, but he was very big. The Jade Emperor saw him at a glance. Seeing that he was so beautiful, he ranked fifth. He also said that his son ranked sixth, but Long was disappointed because his son didn't come today. At this time, the snake behind came running and said, "He * * * Dad, I am the sixth!" " ! I'm sixth! "Snakes rank sixth; Horses and sheep have arrived, too. They asked me to ask you: Brother Ma first, Brother Yang first, and they pushed them around. Seeing that they were so polite, the Jade Emperor let them rank seventh and eighth. The monkey was in his thirties, but he jumped ahead with the clouds in the sky because he could jump, ranking ninth; Then chickens, dogs and pigs were also selected.

The cat didn't wake up until the end of the game, and the mouse was chased all over the world as soon as he got home. ...

After the game, the dragon came to the seaside and saw that he had horns much more beautiful than before, so he didn't plan to return the chicken. In order to avoid the chicken, he disappeared from the world. The chicken was very angry, so he got up early every morning and shouted at the sea: Give it back quickly! Give it back! The hen shouted, give him back quickly! Give him back to me! The chicken also crows: Come back! And!

With regard to the origin of the zodiac, historical records show that China began to use the "chronology of branches and leaves" which combines the ten heavenly stems with the twelve earthly branches from the Shun Di era. The method of zoological chronology originated from nomadic people in the west and north of ancient China. The Book of the Tang Dynasty records: "The Year of the Tiger is bounded by twelve events. If the year is cloudy, it is called the year of the tiger. " Zhao Yi, a famous textual research scholar in the Qing Dynasty, made a textual research in Yu Yu Congkao: "In the early days, the custom of benefiting the north was childless, ugly, yin and hairy, but when rats, cows, tigers and rabbits were divided into years, by the end of the Han Dynasty, it was said that (Khan) money lived in Wuyuan, mixed with Qi people, and spread in China, so it was not abandoned.

The zodiac was first seen in The Book of Songs, the world's first collection of poems. The Book of Songs? Xiaoya? "Car Attack" said: "Today is the auspicious day of the ecliptic, and it is noon. I am short of horses. "See also the Book of Rites? Monthly order? Ji Dong: "Digging cows to send cold. "When did the zodiac theory come into being? There is a historical cloud: it should be formed in the Han Dynasty at the latest. Is it based on Wang Chong's Lun Heng? The article "Things Potential" says: "Yin, wood, birds and tigers. Hey, Tuye, its birds and dogs are also. " Another cloud said, "Good afternoon, Ma Ye. Son, mouse also. Unitary, chicken also. ..... Shen, Qitian also. "* * * put forward eleven zodiac names. In addition, in the Spring and Autumn Annals of Wu Yue written by Zhao Ye in the Eastern Han Dynasty, "Wu Zaichen is a dragon. "Just added' Chen Long', and completed the zodiac. It can be seen that the twelve zodiac signs were formed in the Eastern Han Dynasty. As for the use of the Chinese zodiac, it appeared at least in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The Biography of Northern History Yuwen Hu records a letter written to him by Yuwen Hu's mother, which reads: "Your brother was born in Wuchuan Town, the eldest is a mouse, the second is a rabbit, and you are a snake. "It can be seen that the Chinese zodiac was widely used by the people at that time to record the date of birth.

However, in the mid-1970s, from 1975 to 12, thousands of bamboo slips were found in the cultural relics unearthed from Qin TombNo. 1 1 in Yunmeng, Hubei Province. Among them, sunrise? The thief clearly recorded the words used to predict the thief's appearance characteristics in the zodiac. The appearance of this miracle proves that the Chinese zodiac has been used in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Because Qin Tomb No.11 was built in the thirty years of the first emperor, that is, 2 17 BC. Some people say that long before Qin Shihuang proclaimed himself emperor, our ancestors used the zodiac to record the year, and especially pointed out that "it began in summer and spread in Shang and Zhou Dynasties." But how to quote it remains to be understood by historians and cultural relics scholars ... >>

The origin of the tiger in the zodiac is 5 points. Tiger ranks the third among the 12 Zodiacs, and belongs to Yin among the 13 places, so it is called "Yin Shi" at 12 a.m.-it is also called "Tiger Time" from 3 am to 5 am.

In ancient times, there were lions but no tigers. Because lions are cruel and have a bad reputation, the Jade Emperor in charge of seals wants to remove lions from the list, but he wants to add an animal to manage the mountains. At this time, the jade emperor thought of the tiger guards in front of the temple.

The samurai guards in the Heavenly Palace used to be just an unknown animal on the ground. He learned eighteen kinds of martial arts from master cat, such as grasping, jumping, biting, frying, rushing, jumping and folding, and became a warrior in the forest. Anything it competes with will die or get hurt. Since then, tigers have ruled the mountains. Later, the jade emperor heard that the old crow was brave and ordered the tiger to go to heaven. When the tiger went to heaven, he competed with the jade emperor's Wei family and won. Since then, the tiger has become the guardian in front of the Temple of Heaven.

You know, before long, the birds and animals on the ground saw that no one was in charge and began to run amok. The disaster caused to the world alarmed the land god, who quickly reported it to heaven and asked the Jade Emperor to send a brave god to stop all the animals. The Jade Emperor sent a tiger down to earth, and every time the tiger won, he asked for a merit. The jade emperor only wanted peace on earth, and of course he readily agreed to the tiger's request.

When he came to the earth, the tiger knew that lions, bears and horses were the three most powerful animals at that time. It specifically challenges these three animals. With tiger tiger's courage and superb martial arts connection, he defeated lions, bears and horses. Other evil beasts fled at the wind and hid in the uninhabited forest wilderness. The world is full of joy, thanks to the great contribution of tigers to the world.

Back in the sky, the jade emperor carved three horizontal lines on the tiger's front collar because of its winning streak. Later, humans were harassed by turtles in the East China Sea, and the land was Wang Yang. Shrimp soldiers and crabs will do evil on earth, and tigers will come to earth again to kill turtles and monsters. The Jade Emperor was so happy that he made great contributions to the tiger and added a vertical line to the three horizontal lines on his forehead. So a striking word "Wang" appeared on the tiger's forehead. Since then, the tiger has become the king of all animals, in charge of all animals. Today, the majestic word "Wang" can still be seen on the tiger's forehead.

After the notoriety of the lion spread to the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor decided to remove the title of the lion's zodiac and add the Beastmaster Tiger. Since then, the tiger has become an animal symbol, while the lion has been exiled to the far south. Of course, the tiger was also descended by the guards in front of the Jade Emperor Temple to keep the lower world peaceful forever. Today, there are also tiger charms, tiger rings and tiger carvings to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters. In rural areas, many people also like to wear tiger-headed hats and shoes for their children. As a blessing, this is not an evil, auspicious and safe plan.

3-5 am (i.e. "Yin Shi"). According to ancient records. At this time, the tiger is the most active, fierce and hurtful, because Yin Shi matches the tiger.

The story about the zodiac tiger is less than 100 words. Why are there no cats in the zodiac? It turns out that cats and mice are good friends and both want to participate in the zodiac selection. On the day of registration, the mouse forgot to call the cat and went to register himself. As a result, I chose the mouse. When the mouse was not selected, the cat was very angry. From then on, the cat would eat the mouse when it saw it, and the mouse had to run away desperately.

The legend of the zodiac comes from the fact that mice and cows, horses and sheep were selected into the zodiac. The mouse said, I should be the first. Cattle, horses and sheep said unconvinced, why do you rank first? The mouse said: I am old, so I want to be the first. Niu Ma and others couldn't help laughing: Are you as old as us? The mouse said, we don't count when we argue. Let others speak. Cattle, horses, sheep, etc. Everyone agrees to let people comment. So they discussed ways: led by cows, horses, sheep and mice, they walked through the streets one by one to see what people said.

In the street, a cow came and people said that this cow is very strong. The horse is coming, people say, this horse is really tall. Here comes the sheep. People say that this sheep is very fat. Finally, the mouse swaggered over. People saw a big mouse suddenly appearing in the street, and everyone chased it and shouted, What a big mouse! What a big mouse! In this way, cows, horses and sheep have nothing to say, and mice rank first.

In addition, there is a similar story about the ranking of the twelve genera among the people.

There is an interesting story about how the zodiac is arranged:

At the beginning of chaos, just after heavenly stems and earthly branches timed it, the Jade Emperor ordered the gathering of all the animals in the world, and selected the twelve zodiac signs according to the twelve branches: Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai.

After the news came out, it alarmed two good friends, Flower Cat and Mouse. The cat said to the mouse, I'm going to heaven at five o'clock tomorrow. I have a problem with sleepiness. You should call me! The mouse repeatedly said, OK, OK!

But the next morning, the dishonest mouse got up secretly and left without saying goodbye.

On this day, Yunnan, the beast in Lingxiao Hall, began to be selected. According to the difference between heaven and earth, the Jade Emperor selected twelve kinds of land and water animals, including dragon, tiger, ox, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog, pig, rabbit, snake and mouse, as the zodiac. The rooster had two beautiful horns at that time and was also included in the beast.

The Jade Emperor was about to arrange their seats when the black raccoon pig flashed out. Although it is stupid, it only likes to make trouble. It says: Now that the Jade Emperor has chosen a leader, I am willing to share your worries, be a fair man and arrange my brothers in turn. The Jade Emperor was overjoyed. He told the pig to be selfless and cut off contacts, so he retired from the DPRK.

As soon as the Jade Emperor left, the zodiac became a pot of porridge.

At the beginning, everyone unanimously elected a gentle and generous workhorse to sit in the first place. Even the mighty tiger and black dragon respected it and agreed. However, the mouse in the corner appeared and proposed * * *. It said: in terms of numbers, I am big. If you don't believe me, let's have a game on earth and listen to people's comments. So, the cow and the mouse came to the street in the city center.

When the cow passed through the crowd, people didn't respond. At this time, the mouse suddenly climbed onto the cow's back and set up a pile. People in the street shouted: What a big mouse! By the time people took out sticks to hit them, the mouse had run away.

When the mouse came back to brag, all the animals were keen on cows. Only the black pig is secretly happy. It feels that only in this way, no matter how big or small, it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad, so it may be an impostor and it also benefits from it. So, with a stroke of a pen, it picked the mouse first and put the old cow behind.

This annoyed the tiger and the black dragon. They shouted loudly and made all the animals tremble. All the animals are busy worshipping dragons and tigers, unanimously electing tigers as mountain kings and black dragons as fish kings to rule the world. The monkey wrote a gold plaque for the tiger and hung it on the tiger's forehead. The rooster gave the black dragon two horns. Since then, the black dragon has been crowned. Tigers and black dragons have power in the world, so they are only behind rats and bulls. At this moment, another disruptive hare jumped out, sneering and saying, Hey, hey! I am almost like a mouse in appearance, but I am bigger than a mouse in height. I am the guardian of the mountain king, and I should be in front of the sea king.

Hearing this, the black dragon was furious. He said, don't force it. If you don't believe me, let's have a try. The black pig listened to his heart's wish and quickly said, It's a deal. Let's race and let the hounds be your judges ... >>

12 Story of the Origin of the Zodiac For a long time, the sky was pure blue, the green hills were green, rivers flowed day and night, and human beings continued to multiply ... One morning, the Jade Emperor took his seat in the Lingxiao Hall, and before the ceremony was over, he saw Taibai Venus rushing to the prelude table: Long live, I visited the world a few days ago, and the world was peaceful and prosperous. However, without time control, human beings can't distinguish between seasonal cycles and young people. One day in the sky, one year underground, in the long run, there are many grievances in the world and the world is unstable. For this reason, the old priest thought it was time to educate the paradise on earth; Set a time for the mortal world and give mankind a place to belong. Hearing this, the Jade Emperor was shocked: Well, that makes sense, but does Ai Qing have any ideas on how to remember the time and year of the earth and how to belong to mankind? Taibai Venus came forward and said: I think we should recruit twelve kinds of animals from the mortal world to the heaven, and take them as the genus and earthly branch, and record the time and year with the existing ten-day trunk; Then give the zodiac as the zodiac sign to human beings. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone? The voice of Taibai Venus just fell, and the gods in front of the temple nodded in praise. The Jade Emperor was overjoyed. He called his valet and sent a message: I asked you to be a Zodiac official, and immediately came down to earth with a message to strictly select and inspect all the animals in the world, and selected 12 animals as the Zodiac. Whoever reports to heaven first will be named the' Zodiac King'. Being an official, I didn't dare to neglect, and I drove the colorful clouds in a hurry and flew to the world. Our story begins here-this day, the greedy cat came to the river to fish. After a while, it began to yawn and kept stretching its arms and twisting its waist. The greedy cat put the fishing rod underground and dozed off by the river. The greedy cat's tail accidentally fell into the water, but a big fish thought it was something delicious and kept biting its tail. The greedy cat jumped up in pain, sighed and brought the fish up. It was ecstatic when it found that a big fish was biting its tail. The greedy cat is carrying a fish basket, a fishing rod and humming a tune, feeling smug about today's unexpected harvest. At this time, a little magpie flew over the greedy cat's head and shouted: Be an animal sign and become a fairy! Become an animal symbol, become a fairy ... The greedy cat waved to the little magpie and asked: What is the animal sign? Can being a zodiac become a fairy? The little magpie replied: The Jade Emperor wants to gather all the animals in the world and choose twelve kinds of animals as the genus of human beings. All the animals chosen as animals were named immortal ... When the greedy cat heard this, his eyes suddenly glowed green, and he asked: Where should I go? Little Magpie A: Go to Temple Street and sign up! Hearing this, the greedy cat ran home without even saying thank you. In the yard, mouse, the servant of the greedy cat, is chopping wood with an axe. The greedy cat shouted, Mouse! Rats! Go to Temple Street and sign me up. I want to be a Zodiac and become an immortal! The mouse picked up another piece of wood and said timidly, "Let's go again when I've chopped the wood." The greedy cat aimed at the mouse and kicked it, no! We have to go now. Let's go He kicked the mouse out of the yard. The mouse absently ran to Temple Street and looked around, not knowing where to register. Temple street, which is usually deserted, has become lively because of the selection of animal signs. General summoning orders were posted everywhere in the streets and lanes, and all kinds of birds and girls were flying and calling in the blue sky ... At this moment, the mouse saw the monkeys coming from afar. This monkey is in the spring breeze because he has registered and whistled. The mouse quickly stepped forward and bowed: Brother Monkey, where should I apply for the zodiac? How come? Do you want to sign up for the zodiac, too? Don't go! Don't go! The team that signed up can't see the end, and it's already not your turn! The monkeys coaxed each other. The mouse stamped its foot anxiously: But … But I … I must go! Are you really going? ! The monkey scratched his forehead and went to Xiande Temple. With that, he skipped away. The mice have been talking ... >>

Tell you what, set a date. On this day, when animals come to sign up, they will choose the first twelve animals as the zodiac.

" The mouse said, "Don't worry, don't worry. You can sleep deeply. I'll call you as soon as I wake up. Let's go together. " The cat was very happy and said, "You are really my good friend, thank you."

By the morning of registration, the mouse was awake, but it only thought about its own business and forgot its good friend's cat. I signed up myself.

As a result, I chose the mouse. Where is the cat? The cat got up too late because it went to bed late. When it arrived, twelve animals had been selected.

If the cat is not selected, it will be angry with the mouse, blaming the mouse for not calling it. Since then, cats will eat mice when they see them, and the mice have to run away desperately.
