In the ancient society of our country, why was the status of cattle so high?

Ploughing thousands of acres and thousands of boxes, who is injured when exhausted? "The bitter entrepreneurial history of cattle in successive dynasties has forged them"Hard"Do you know the role of the word Miramar and the role of the cow? Why did the celebrities of ancient times have a soft spot for it?

Is it an indelible literary and artistic feeling, or does it have its own wonderful, let us get a glimpse of the unique feelings of the ancients for cattle!

Cattle have always had a very important position in our country, because our country has been a big agricultural country since ancient times, and there is a deeper study of cultivation nature, so cattle occupied a very important position in ancient China.

Unlike pigs, sheep and other livestock, which were widely used by people in terms of diet, its status and role at that time were not only to satisfy people's mouths, but its use was sought after by rulers in every dynasty.

In the millennium of history, there are also many celebrities who have a special feeling for cattle. For example, Lao Tzu, who is famous in the history of our country, is a complete bull riding enthusiast.

Lao Tzu's surname is Li Ming'er and the character Dan, which is a famous thinker, philosopher and writer in the history of our country, which shows the status of Lao Tzu in ancient history. However, the reality is just the opposite of himself, Lao Tzu did not become a guest of honor like other literary masters in ancient times. Although this may have to do with himself"Do nothing"The political proposition has a lot to do with it, but it is still very regrettable.

Lao Tzu did not become a generation of prominent Confucians, but became a librarian of the Zhou royal family, and since then Lao Tzu has lived a wild crane life of reading books and copying scriptures and savoring life.

According to the classics left by the ancients, Lao Tzu liked to ride a green ox, and there is one in the current Taipei Museum"Lao Tzu riding a bull"In the picture, Lao Tzu is riding a cyan bullock, holding a scroll, looking at the flying bat, the appearance is vivid and interesting, and it is very full of fairy wind bones.

According to Liu Xiang's "Biography of the Immortals"."After the decline of Zhou De, he left by the green ox. Enter Daqin and cross the West Pass"Lao Tzu officially ended his career as a librarian and began his wandering life, which also cast a veil of mystery over his life.

In ancient times, when cultivating the land, the ox should be used, without it, but the field can not be planted, the field is not good, at that time, there is rice to eat, there are vegetables to eat is not easy, so the status of the cow is naturally high.

Because in ancient times, there was no development of technology, and it was mainly dependent on the labor of peasants to maintain a normal life and pay state taxes. And cattle are good helpers for farmers.

Zhou Yi believes that the ox is a symbol of carrying all things, which is equivalent to the kun hexagram in the hexagram, because the terrain is kun, kun is the same as the earth, and the character of hard-working, gentle and tolerant is the same as the cow, which shows that the status of the cow can be compared with heaven and earth at that time.

Cattle have a very close relationship with humans in ancient China, and have been valued by people since ancient times. For thousands of years, various dynasties and generations have left many legends and records about cows, such as the well-known legend of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, as well as Yuan Mei's catchy one"The shepherd boy rode the ox, and the song vibrated the forest"Today we will talk about the ancient Chinese cow.

The status of cattle in ancient times was much higher than today, why was the status of cattle so high at that time? Myths and legends are written. As we all know, ancient Chinese feudal society pursued a policy of "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce", with agriculture as the center.

However, there are not so many machines now, and human and animal power are the main labor forces. At the same time, there was also a milestone in the development of agriculture, that is, the emergence of cattle breeding and agricultural tools, which officially marked the beginning of people from primitive agriculture to the era of intensive agriculture, in which the role of cattle was naturally very crucial.

Only old dead cattle, or cattle that died because of various accidents, can be in the folk**, because the number is scarce, so the price of beef is very high, ordinary people can't afford to eat, like the heroes in the Water Margin, most of them are poor people, and they can't afford to consume. Wu Song, Lin Chong and others can afford to eat, on the one hand, it is the author's fabrication, and on the other hand, it is secretly sold by the wild store.

If you don't know this knowledge, beef is expensive and not easy to raise, you can still work, and your status must be high.
