The latest Chinese folk zodiac remote

From March 22, 2013 to March 8, 2017, there were 1,447 days.

The ancients called the chicken "the bird of the five virtues" - the head has a crown "Wen", the distance is "Wu", the enemy dares to fight "brave" in front, there is food to call "benevolence", and the vigil does not lose time "faith"; Therefore, both civil and military are chickens.

Ma, Ma is a marshal, a showman, and a prince.

A grain of mouse droppings-spoils a pot of soup The sheep that went to the grave- is out of the way The pig on the market - tied up The rat that is not big or small - the most tricky The monkey who has unlocked the lock - can't restrain the rabbit that blooms in spring - forming a gang of fires The tail of the rooster - the high The wild bull that crosses the boundary - wants to find the top horn The dragon head of the Dragon Boat Festival - only to play with that mouth The old horse that turns back - fast and ripe The fish in the net, the chicken in the cage - can't run The tiger that has just come out of the mountain - the majesty is not small The ability of the rooster - will bark a few times The monkey on the bald mountain - not playing Summoned the tiger before summoning - the fierce dog in the house Grandma's dog - leave after eating The green bamboo snake after the sting - is becoming more and more fierce.

People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, pigs are poor, dogs are rich, cats are big, dragons are born, pigs are born in a litter of arched walls, pigs collect firewood, dogs burn fires, wild foxes sweep the floor and invite pigs to long meat, people are sleepy and sell houses and rats look at the warehouse, and the little mice catch the light, and the big mice are panicked.

There are various legends about why the 12 zodiac signs are arranged in such an order. One theory is that Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor wanted to choose 12 animals as palace guards, and the cat asked the mouse to sign it up, and in the end, the mouse actually forgot about it, and the cat passed by the election of the zodiac and was not selected, and since then he has hated the mouse to the bone.

The elephant also signed up, but the rat got into its nose and it ran away in pain. Among the remaining animals, the cow was originally the first of the zodiac, the mouse jumped on the back of the cow, the pig followed and coaxed, and the mouse got the first place, and the pork chop was at the end of the year. The tiger and dragon, known as the king of the mountains and the king of the sea, were of course not convinced by the fact that they were behind the rats and cows.

The rabbit was also unconvinced, and insisted on racing with the dragon, but ended up in front of the dragon. When the dog saw this, he was upset and bit the rabbit in a fit of rage, for which he was punished in the penultimate place. Snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, and chickens also went through a contest and arranged their positions one by one, and finally formed the order of rats, oxen, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs, and pigs.

Another theory is that the selection and arrangement of the 12 zodiac signs is determined according to the chronological order of animal activity each day. Since the Han Dynasty, China has used the twelve earthly branches to record the twelve hours of the day, and each hour is equivalent to two hours today.

From 11 p.m. to 1 a.m., the rats are at their most active. Between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m., when it was ugly, the cow was ruminating. Between 3 and 5 o'clock is the hour of the year, when the tiger roams everywhere, and it is the most ferocious.

From 5 o'clock to 7 o'clock, it is the time of Mao, when the sun has not yet risen, the moon is still hanging in the sky, and the jade rabbit is busy pounding medicine. From 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., this is a good time for the dragon to rain.

Between 9 and 11 o'clock, the snake began to come alive. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the yang energy is at its peak, at noon, when the imagination is in full swing. Between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., it is said that the sheep graze at this time and grow stronger.

From 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., the monkeys are active. Between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., the chickens begin to return to their cages as night falls. From 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., the dogs start their vigil. From 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., when everything was silent, the pigs were sleeping.

1. The birth of the zodiac has an astronomical background.

2. In the primitive era, the ancestors experienced the cycle of alternating cold and summer.

3. Hong Hao's "Records of the Pine Desert" in the Song Dynasty contains: "The Jurchen is very small, and the people do not know the age, and they ask, 'I see the grass a few degrees', and the grass is green for one year old."

4. "Meng Heng's "Mengtar Records" of the Song Dynasty also recorded: "Its custom is that each grass is one year old, and when someone asks its age, it is said that there are several grasses." Some observers of the moon discovered that the waxing and waning cycle of the moon can be used to measure the length of the year, and found that the twelve full moons are one year old, which is one of the most accurate results of the early calendar, and "twelve" is regarded as the "great number of heaven" that conveys the will of heaven.

5. The heavenly stem needs the earth's branches as a companion, the sun and the moon are opposite, and the heaven and earth are opposite, so it is the "twelve".

1. There are various legends about the arrangement of the zodiac, such stories, or jokes that seem to be happy and boring, or fables that seem to depreciate evil and promote good, and have a strong literary component.

2. However, the arrangement of the zodiac seats is by no means overnight, nor can it be completed by one generation.

3. At first, it may not be a nomination of 12 kinds, maybe only four or five, maybe there was an excess situation, and then the survival of the fittest, the quota and positioning, has been passed down to this day.
