Twelve earth dominated the genus, not a sheep. But not since ancient times. In the 1970s, Hubei Yunmeng sleep tiger unearthed Qin Jane "day book", recorded with today's not quite the same set of zodiac signs, which "afternoon, deer also. Not, the horse is also ......戌, the old goat is also". Sheep corresponding to the earth's branches, is the eleventh not yet.

And, in this set of Chinese zodiac list, only sheep crowned with "old", as if the "lamb" sheep do not have to do the qualifications of the Chinese zodiac. Sleeping tiger QinJian why the sheep and respect "old", is a topic worthy of discussion. As for the "not sheep", Gansu Tianshui, the excavation of qin jian has seen records. Fangmatan Qin Jian, some scholars believe that the Han dynasty is a simple book.

The origin of the zodiac, in China or in Babylon, is a matter of opinion. Babylon's zodiac, today's people jokingly called "foreign zodiac", and its for the sheep also extraordinarily courteous. Two of the signs of the zodiac are related to the sheep: the House of Aries and the House of Capricorn. Around 3000 BC, the Babylonian shepherds called the stars "the sheep of the sky" and the planets "the sheep of the year".

Sheep in the twelve signs of the zodiac occupy two seats, probably because of this. Aries is the first of the twelve signs of the Babylonian zodiac, the year and the equinox associated with a prominent position, its image in the Babylonian star chart for the farmer holding the sheaves of wheat.

Guo Moruo advocated the Chinese zodiac culture outside to say, one of the basis of the argument, that is, to take the Aries Palace and wheat ears. He wrote in 1929, "the interpretation of the branches of the stem", suggested that the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac is the Han Emperor Wu Di through the Western region when the input. He hypothesized the correspondence between the twelve earthly branches and the twelve signs of the Babylonian zodiac, with the earthly branch Wei corresponding to Aries.

Guo Moruo believed that the oracle bone character "Wei" is the "spikes of the hieroglyphic", "Wei for the spikes, when the Aries", Aries "astrology The shape of agricultural manpower field". Over the years, Guo Moruo's insights have not been accepted by researchers, Sleeping Tiger Earth Qin Jane and other unearthed artifacts also negate this inference.

"Not yet a spike, when in the white sheep," a phrase reminiscent of another topic.

The phrase "three goats to open up the sea" is an auspicious phrase, and there is a city in the south of the country that has been blessed with five goats. According to legend, the sheep are the gods of the grains that bring good fortune to Guangzhou. The legend of the five goats is cited in the Jin Pei Yuan's "Records of Guangzhou," which is cited in the Taiping Yuban.

Till the early Qing Dynasty, the story of the five sheep was still popular among the locals. Qu Dajun's "New Words of Guangzhou" recorded that in ancient times, there were five immortals in the South China Sea, each wearing different colors of clothes and riding different colors of sheep, who came to Guangzhou and gave the six ears of grain to the people and wished that there would never be any famine. Afterwards, the five immortals took off into the air and the five sheep were turned into stone.

Five Immortals and five sheep bring the blessing of a good harvest. Guangzhou is known as Yangcheng, or Sui for short, all originating from the legend of the five sheep. Today, the city's Yuexiu Mountain Park stands a stone sculpture of the Five Sheep, which is the landmark of Guangzhou.

The sheep, which blessed the five grains, was also imagined to be a rainmaker - a divine creature that followed the dragon in spreading clouds and rain. This is found in the Tang legend Liu Yi Zhuan (柳毅传). In the novel, it is interestingly told about the rainmaker: the dragon lady shepherds the sheep, and the sheep shepherds are not ordinary sheep, but elves who follow the dragon in the division of water. As the story goes, Liu Yi met a shepherdess who asked him to deliver a letter on her behalf, claiming to be the daughter of the Dragon King of Dongting Lake.

Liu Yi sympathized with the dragon lady's misfortune, and curiously asked: "If you are a dragon lady, what is the use of shepherding sheep? Could it be that the gods are also like the earth, animal husbandry for the sake of slaughter?" Dragon Lady replies, "This is not a sheep, it is a rainmaker." Liu Yi asks, "What is a rain worker?" Dragon Lady replies, "Thunder and such also." The dragon lady shepherds the sheep, and the sheep is a rain worker, such imagery with the dragon master rainwater as the logical starting point, but also seems to be logical.
