A Brief Introduction of China Zodiac

The origin of the zodiac is related to animal worship. According to Qin bamboo slips unearthed in Yunmeng Sleeping Tiger Land in Hubei Province and Fangmatan in Tianshui, Gansu Province, a relatively complete zodiac system existed as early as the pre-Qin period. The earliest handed down document that recorded the same Chinese zodiac as today was Lun Heng written by Wang Chong in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The zodiac is an intuitive representation of the twelve earthly branches, namely, Zi (mouse), Ugly (ox), Yin (tiger), Mao (rabbit), Chen (dragon), Si (snake), Wu (horse), Wei (sheep), Shen (monkey), You (chicken) and Xu (chicken). In modern times, more people regard the zodiac as the mascot of the Spring Festival and become a symbol of entertainment and cultural activities.

As a symbol of folk culture with a long history, the zodiac has left a large number of poems, Spring Festival couplets, paintings, calligraphy and paintings and folk arts and crafts depicting the image and symbolic significance of the zodiac throughout the ages. Apart from China, many countries in the world issue stamps of the zodiac during the Spring Festival to express their wishes for the New Year in China.

Legends about the stories of the zodiac

Legend: Rats use the power of cattle.

Legend has it that one year, the Jade Emperor celebrated his birthday, ordered all animals to come to celebrate their birthdays on the ninth day of the first month, and decided to choose 12 kinds of animals to celebrate their birthdays in the order of reporting, as the guards in heaven, and took turns to be on duty every year.

According to legend, mice and cats were neighbors at that time, but the big cat often bullied the weak mice, and the mice dared to speak out. The cat is sleepy, so let the mouse wake him up for the jade emperor's birthday. The mouse readily agreed.

In the early morning of the ninth day of the first month, the mouse set off quietly. But when he reached the wide river facing Taotao River, he began to worry. At this 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 simple and honest, so they don't care about mice's guesses.

After crossing the river, the mouse felt comfortable lying in the cow's ear and didn't mean to jump down. Near noon, the cow carried the mouse outside the Jade Emperor's mansion. When Niu Gang was about 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.

Of course, there is another saying. The person who ordered the zodiac is a corrupt official. He got great benefits from the mouse and gave the first place to the little mouse.

Relatively scientific statement: it is related to active time.

In addition, some people come to the conclusion that the order of the zodiac is related to their activity time. It is midnight from eleven o'clock in the evening to one o'clock in the morning. At this time, the mouse is the most active and is called the offspring mouse. At 1 am to 3: 00 am, it is an ugly cow, and the cow is ruminating, which is called an ugly cow. From 3: 00 to 5: 00, it is Yin Shi. At this time, tigers wander around for food, which is the fiercest, so they are called silver tigers. 5: 00 to 7: 00 is the crime time. At this time, the sun has not yet risen and the moon is still hanging in the sky. At this time, Yutu is busy taking medicine. Rabbits all over the world also began to come out for food, called hairy rabbits.

From 7 am to 9 am, it is morning time, and it is a good time for dragons to rain. It is called dragons. It is the fourth time from 9: 00 to 11: 00, and the snake becomes active, which is called the fourth snake. From 1 1: 00 in the morning to 1: 00 in the afternoon, the sun is shining, and at noon, it is the time when the sky is unconstrained, which is called the afternoon horse. In the afternoon 1 until 3 o'clock, it is inappropriate. When sheep eat grass at this time, they will grow stronger, which is called sheep. From 3 pm to 5 pm, it is the application time. At this time, monkeys become active, which is called monkey application.

It is unitary from five to seven. As night falls, chickens begin to return to their nests, which is the so-called unitary chicken. From 7: 00 to 9: 00 in the evening, dogs start to keep vigil, which is called dogs. From 9 pm to 1 1, it is Shihai.
