Suddenly one day, five immortals rode five fairy sheep with different colors, dressed in colorful clothes of red, orange, yellow, green and purple, and stepped on five colorful clouds. With a grain of liu er rice in its mouth, each fairy sheep slowly came to earth and gave it to the industrious people of Guangzhou with five fairy sheep. Since then, it has become a land of wealth, and the people are well-fed and carefree. So Guangzhou is also called Wuyang City. In Yuexiu Park in Guangzhou, there is also a statue of Wuyang. Legend has it that these five immortals are symbols of good luck in Guangzhou, bringing happiness and prosperity to people. Note: (1) The legend of Wuyang was first seen in Taiping Yulan, which was quoted from Peiyuan's Guangzhou Ji in Jin Dynasty.

It is said that she weaves clouds in the sky. There are three stars across the river. The brighter one in the middle is called Altair. He is the husband of the weaver girl.

The story of the zodiac sheep? In the old days, the Han nationality had the custom of "sending sheep", which was popular in southern Hebei. Every year in June or July of the lunar calendar, my grandfather and uncle send sheep to my nephew. Originally, I sent live sheep, but later I sent a goat. Legend has it that this custom is related to the rescue of mother by agarwood splitting the mountain. After Shen Xiang split Huashan to rescue her biological mother, she wanted to kill her abusive uncle Yang Erlang. In order to rebuild the relationship between brother and sister, Yang Erlang sent a pair of live sheep to Aquilaria sinensis every year, thus leaving the custom of sending sheep. In addition, people take the sixth and ninth day of each month as sheep day, and it is forbidden to catch sheep in Qinghai. There is a proverb in Shandong, Hubei and Jiangxi: "It is cloudy on June 6th, and cattle and sheep are as expensive as gold." It is also believed that people who belong to horses, dogs and rats avoid sheep, while people who belong to sheep avoid rats, cows, horses and dogs.

Kazak, Mongolian, Tajik and other ethnic groups are popular in the game of "grabbing sheep". On festive days, people put a sheep a hundred meters away, and the riders divided into several teams to grab it. Also, a young man rushed out of the cavalry with a sheep in his hand, followed by the people behind him. Some of them cooperate to compete for sheep, while others protect them. The winner takes the sheep to the finish line and becomes the winner. The winner cooked the sheep on the spot and enjoyed them together.

12 the story of the zodiac there is a myth about the origin of the zodiac: the jade emperor wanted to choose 12 animals as representatives, and then he sent a fairy to tell the animals about it, and set a time to come to the Tiangong Maori election in the year of Taizu. The sooner he came, the more he swallowed it, and 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. The dragon has no horns and the chicken has 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 much more beautiful horns, so he didn't want 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 animal chronology originated from nomadic minorities 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 a year is a cloudy year, it is called the Year of the Tiger. Zhao Yi, a famous textual research scientist 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, cloudy and hairy, but when rats, cows, tigers and rabbits were divided into years, by the time 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 our ancestors recorded the year with the zodiac as early as before Qin Shihuang proclaimed himself emperor, and especially pointed out that "it began in summer and spread to Shang and Zhou Dynasties." "However, how to quote it remains to be further explored by historians and cultural relics scholars. I >>

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 person 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 ... >>
