Why are there no cats in the zodiac? Why do rats rank first?

Because the largest number of mice in animals represents ordinary people who create wealth,

After "mouse" represents human, it is impossible for a cat that eats mice to enter the 12 zodiac.

Why do rats rank first? People are the first element of a country. They strive to save food, use less, and create wealth for the country, which is the foundation of the country and respects it as the first.

There is also a folklore that says:

There is a legend:

It is said that the Jade Emperor chose 12 animals as representatives, and then sent immortals to tell the animals about it. He also set a time to take part in the Maori election in Uzuki in the year of Mao. The earlier the queue comes, the worse the front and back will be. At that time, cats and mice were still good friends. The cat loves to sleep, but also wants to be chosen, so he asked the mouse to call him. But as soon as the mouse turned around, he forgot to ask the mouse to call him old cow, saying that he got up early and ran fast.

At that time, dragons had no horns and chickens had horns. Just tell the chicken that the chicken is already beautiful. You don't need horns to summon chickens to lend them to him. After listening to the flattery of the dragon, you are glad to lend them. Tell him to pay back the money on time after the election. The dragon is full of hope.

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

The mouse sat on the cow's back until it reached heaven. The Jade Emperor said that he was the first to arrive and asked him to rank first, then the second tiger came to rank third and the rabbit came to rank fourth. The dragon came very late, but I saw him at a glance and asked him to come and have a look. He is so beautiful that he ranks fifth. He also said that his son ranked sixth, and Long was disappointed because his son didn't come today. Then the snake at the back came over and said, he is my godfather, and I am sixth! I am the sixth! Snakes rank sixth, and horses and sheep come towards them. You asked me to let you: Marco, you first ~ ~ Brother Yang, you first ~ ~ The Jade Emperor who pushed them around saw that they were so polite, and ranked seventh and eighth. The monkey was originally in his thirties, but because he could jump, he jumped in front with the clouds in the sky, and then the chicken, dog and pig were selected one after another.

The cat didn't wake up until after the game. As soon as the mouse came home, it was chased all over the world by the cat. . .

After the game, the dragon came to the seaside and saw that he was much more beautiful than before, so he didn't plan to return the chicken. In order to avoid the chicken, he disappeared into the world, and the chicken was 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!

I'm sorry if you don't give me this little flag! ! !
