The beginning of the 12 zodiac years: What year will it be after the Year of the Rat?

The rat is the first of the twelve traditional Chinese zodiac animals, and the Year of the Rat is the beginning of the twelve zodiac years.

The Year of the Rat is a good start for a new cycle of zodiac years. What zodiac year will follow?

So let us understand what year the Year of the Rat is.

After the Year of the Rat, it is the Year of the Ox.

Ox is one of the 12 Chinese zodiac animals. It ranks second among the twelve zodiac animals and belongs to the "Chou" category with the twelve earthly signs. Therefore, the "Chou hour" among the twelve hours of the day, that is, from 1 to 3 o'clock at night, is also called "Chou hour".

Ox time", in the Yi hexagram is "Kun is the son of the cow".

Usually, any year whose AD year number is divided by 12 and the remainder is 5 is the Year of the Ox.

Regarding the origin of the Year of the Ox, there is a legend in ancient my country.

In ancient times, oxen were servants in front of the Jade Emperor's Palace, often traveling between the Heavenly Palace and the Earth.

One day, the farmer asked the cow to send a message to the Jade Emperor, saying that the world was barren and the earth was bare, which was too ugly. He asked the Jade Emperor to bring some mother grass seeds to the world to make the world more beautiful.

The Jade Emperor heard this and thought it made sense, so he asked His Highness who among the gods would be willing to sow grass seeds in the human world.

"Jade Emperor, I am willing to go to the world and sow grass seeds." The Ox King volunteered.

However, the Jade Emperor thought about it and said uneasily: "You are a careless guy, I'm afraid you can't do it." "Don't worry, Jade Emperor, I can't handle such a small thing, so I am willing to be punished." The Ox King insisted on going.

So the Jade Emperor agreed to the Ox King's request and asked the Ox King to take three steps and scatter a handful of grass seeds after he came to the world.

The Ox King took the grass seeds and walked out of the Heavenly Palace. When he stepped out of the Nantian Gate, he accidentally fell. After falling to the earth, the Ox King was dizzy and mistakenly thought that the Jade Emperor's will was to scatter three handfuls in one step.

Grass seeds.

So, a lot of grass seeds were scattered on the ground.

In this way, the ground will be overgrown with weeds the next year, and farmers will be unable to grow crops at all.

They asked the Kitchen God to tell the Jade Emperor that there were too many weeds and crops could not grow.

The Jade Emperor knew about the bad thing, so he summoned the Ox King and asked, only to find out that the careless Ox King had ruined a good thing by scattering three handfuls of grass seeds in one step.

"You careless old cow has made the world full of grass. How did you guarantee it in the first place? From now on, you and your descendants are only allowed to eat grass and help farmers weed. At the same time, your ancestors have helped farmers work for generations.

"After the Jade Emperor finished speaking, his anger was still lingering, and he flew up and kicked the old bull. The bull king somersaulted from the sky and fell to the earth, with his mouth facing down and a row of his upper teeth knocked out.

As a result, the cow has been working as a coolie for the farmer all his life, and has not stopped gnawing grass.

To this day, its upper row of teeth has not yet grown.

However, the ox is a good animal that can correct its mistakes immediately. It works hard without complaining, is diligent and down-to-earth, and never lets up when pulling a cart to plow the fields. It has done a lot of work for farmers and won praise from people.

When ranking the zodiac signs, people unanimously recommended him.

If it weren't for the speculative little mouse hiding in the bull's horns and grabbing the top spot first, the Ox King would definitely still be the leader of the zodiac.

This is the mythical story of the Ox becoming one of the twelve zodiac signs due to its contribution to mankind.

Conclusion: People born in the Year of the Ox have a strong sense of obligation, are diligent and practical, work hard to achieve benefits and results, and pay attention to traditional concepts.

People born in the Year of the Ox are obviously late bloomers, and due to their strong self-esteem, although they are gentle on the outside, they have a strong desire for self-expression in their hearts. They are not suitable for "obscure" jobs.
