    To understand this question, we should first understand why there are only 12 genera and not 13, and there are not only 12 animals, so it is impossible to use every animal.

    No! The 12 zodiac signs are 12 animals closely related to ancient China, such as the rat, although it is harmful but closely related to humans, so it is written into the 12 effective effect, which is the reason, the lion did not write!

    The lion does not mean anything in the zodiac because there is no lion in the zodiac. The 12 zodiac signs, also known as the 12 genera, are 12 animals in China that match the birth year of the person with the 12 earthly branches, including rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. The zodiac is a visual representation of the twelve earthly branches, namely Zi (Rat), Chou (Ox), Yin (Tiger), Mao (Rabbit), Chen (Dragon), Si (Snake), Wu (Horse), Wei (Sheep), Shen (Monkey), You (Rooster), 戌 (Dog), Hai (Pig), with the development of history gradually integrated into the concept of folk beliefs, manifested in marriage, life, New Year, etc., each zodiac has a rich legend, and in order to form a concept interpretation system, become the image philosophy of folk culture, such as the marriage of the genus, Temple fairs, prayers, natal years, etc.

    Because the lion is too lazy, he sleeps all day without inquiring about the news, and he is very fierce! So on the day of the zodiac, it didn't know! So there is no lion zodiac!

    It's the same with being a person, you have to make more friends and ask more news! Be more round! Got it?

    Follow-up question: It's the same as being a human being, you have to make more friends and inquire more about the news! Be more round!

    Got it? This sentence is okay, the above sentence is it. Haven't you seen the animal world?

    Lions sleep a lot during the day!

    Why don't there be lions in the zodiac:

    Legend has it that the Jade Emperor's choice of the zodiac has reached the ears of many animals, and even the shrewd king of beasts, the lion, also knows about it.

    On this day, the lion got up early in the morning, told his servant fox to comb his beard, and hurried out on his way.

    Along the way, the Lion King saw a lot of strange flowers and plants, but his attention was not attracted by the flowers and plants, and continued to swagger forward.

    Walking, walking, walking, the lion saw a chubby little hedgehog, and the lion started to eat the little hedgehog. The lion is a strong man who is not afraid of the sky and the earth!

    The lion first picked up a branch, and then poked the belly of the little hedgehog, but he didn't expect the little hedgehog to be so afraid of itching, and it lay on all fours on the ground. When the lion looked at it, its eyes were closed as if it had lost consciousness, and the lion took the opportunity to bite the hedgehog's soft belly ......

    After the little hedgehog was feasted by the lion, the lion began to look proud: "What even tigers and elephants dare not touch has entered my lion's belly, I am too powerful!" "What time is it?"

    The lion shouted, "Hey, it's still a long time before the zodiac sign up time, I'll get some sleep first!" With that, it fell asleep. (Actually, the lion forgot that its own watch was decorative, and the time was all wrong.)

    When the lion came to the Jade Emperor slowly, it had been a full week since the registration deadline for the 12 zodiac signs.

    The origin of the ancient literature has not solved the cultural origin of the 12 zodiac signs, and ancient and modern scholars have different opinions on this.

    Nakshatras said that the ancients divided the stars near the ecliptic and equator into "28 nakshatras". The 28 Nakshatras also represent one animal each. In ancient times, the week and heaven were divided into twelve parts, which were represented by twelve branches, and the twelve rulers belonged to the zodiac, and there was a correspondence between the zodiac and the twenty-eight constellations.

    Wang Wei, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, believed that 28 kinds of animals belonged to the 28 constellations, and "unified them with seven yao", becoming a pattern of "female earth bats, virtual sun rats, dangerous moon swallows, and children". Li Changqing of the Qing Dynasty believed in the "Songxia Pavilion Words" that the twenty-eight animals "that is, the first twelve genera are doubled", "Kang Jinlong, Chenguan also, and Jiaomu Jiao are attached." Jiao, dragons also", embodies the twelve zodiac signs based on the twenty-eight kinds of star animals.

    However, it is inevitable that there will be a supplementary experience, and the record of the 28 constellations with animals is later than the 12 zodiac signs.

    The year of Jupiter says that Jupiter orbits one day in 12 years, and the annual branch order can be determined from Jupiter's position. "Yuhan Shanfang Ji Yishu" believes that every 12 years, "three years old, three years old, three years old, drought", another said that "the world is six years old, six years old, six years old, one hunger". There is a cycle of the rise and fall of plants and the living environment of animals, and the living conditions of herbivores (rats, cows, horses, sheep) and carnivorous omnivores are very different in different years, and people born in different years can imitate the animals that grow vigorously in that year, thus forming a zodiac animal, so as to presume that the rise and fall of animals is related to the year of Jupiter, and the zodiac and the twelve stars are unified.

    Totem theory that the ancestors of primitive societies often used the shape of a certain animal, inanimate or natural phenomenon as their clan.

    The Indian zodiac is roughly the same as the Chinese zodiac. The names and order of the zodiac signs in India are: Rat, Ox, Lion, Rabbit, Naga (Dragon), Maharaja (Snake), Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Goldfinch, Dog, Pig.

    It's just that China has a "tiger" but no "lion", while India has a "lion" but no "tiger". According to the Hindu mythology of Asarha, the 12 animals of the zodiac were originally the mounts of 12 gods, which were the rat of the god Zhaodura, the ox of the god Vikara, the lion of the god Mikpira, the rabbit of the god Vazara, the Naga of the god Milira, the maharaja of the god of Andira, the horse of the god Amira, the sheep of the god Sandira, the monkey of the god Indara, the goldfinch of the god Bhoira, the dog of the god Mahura, and the pig of the god Jindara. In addition, the Buddhist scripture "Daji Sutra" records the story of the 12 zodiac signs taking turns to parade, but there is no tiger but lions, so some people believe that the 12 zodiac signs were introduced to China from ancient India, and the tiger replaced the lion, which may be related to the fact that the Central Plains did not produce lions.

    The lion is not all species in our country, the lion image began in the Han Dynasty, and it is said that the lion came from the Western Regions. Legend has it that during the reign of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Dayue Clan (Pakistan) in the Western Regions gave a golden lion as a gift to the emperor of our country. Later, with the introduction of Buddhism (India), the lion became a spirit animal endowed with divine powers.

    The 12 zodiac signs are vaguely recorded in the Book of Songs, which are earlier than the lion in history and time, and the other 12 zodiac signs belong to the Taoist mythology system, and the spirit animals of Buddhism are inserted into Taoist mythology, and it is impossible to have 12 zodiac signs at all.

    There is a saying in <> that the tiger sits in the middle hall and the lion gate is on both sides.

    The 12 zodiac signs, which are used as year-keeping animals to cooperate with the sexagenary branches, naturally have the powerful wisdom of the ancestors.

    The zodiac is not arranged casually on a whim! The first basis for its formation is the twelve earthly branches, and the second basis is the twenty-eight Pleiades corresponding to the twelve earthly branches! The twelve earthly branches are Zi Chouyin, Mao Chen, Si Wu, and Wei Shen Youxuhai.

    Because there are twelve of them, there are twelve zodiac signs, not thirteen or fifteen!

    Ancient astronomers in China selected 28 star officials on both sides of the red and ecliptic as the purpose of observing the time, which is often referred to as the 28 Nakshatras. Of the 28 Nakshatras, there are seven Nakshatras in the east, south, west, and north. There are no cats, lions, or elephants in the twenty-eight Nakshatras.

    The twelve earthly branches and the twenty-eight Nakshatras are arranged in a circle, so that the sub-position of due north is facing the Void Sun Rat position of the Twenty-eight Nakshatras, and the arrangement in clockwise order is: Zi to the Void Sun Mouse, Chou to Niu Taurus, Yin to Tailed Fire Tiger, Mao to Fang Ri Rabbit, Chen to Kang Jin Dragon, Si to Winged Fire Snake, Wu to Xingri Horse, Wei to Ghost Golden Sheep, Shen to Fire Monkey, You to Pleiades Chicken, Lou Jin Dog, Hai to Room Fire Pig. The above is the fundamental reason why there are only twelve zodiac signs and why only these twelve animals are chosen!

    There is another way of saying it, and the reason is simple - because lions are not native to China in the first place. And the 12 zodiac signs are all domestic.

    In the earliest times, the lion was called "狻猊", which was a direct transliteration of the word in the Western Regions, and was later simplified to "shi", and finally evolved"Lion"。

    China does not produce lions, the earliest lions into China are the Asian lions produced in South Asia and West Asia, which are gifts from the Yueshi Kingdom to the Han Dynasty during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and later, with the wide spread of Buddhism in China, the lion has become an animal that was worshiped in ancient times.

    Today the lion is called sinha in Hindi, Ra in Punjabi, and Shir in Persian).

    Because the saying of the 12 zodiac signs already existed in the pre-Qin period, because at that time the lion had not yet been transmitted from the Western Regions, and the lion was passed over in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was already late at that time.
