What is 41 years old this year, and what is 42 years old?

Hello. This year is 2020, and 41 years old means that you were born in 1979. Sheep.

The sheep is the eighth in the 12 zodiac signs, and it is "not" with the 12 earthly domination. The five elements belong to the earth, which is the yin soil, and the earthy zodiac signs include: ox, dragon, sheep, and dog.

In Chinese folklore, the sheep is a figure as great as Prometheus in Greek mythology, who was sent to power for stealing the fire of heaven and fire, and the sheep who sacrificed his life for stealing grain seeds to the world.

In the ancient flood era, there was no grain in the world, and human beings lived on vegetables and wild grasses, and severe malnutrition made human beings yellow and thin.

One autumn, a divine sheep came to the mortal world from the heavenly palace and found that the human had vegetables on his face and looked depressed. When I asked why, I learned that human beings don't grow food, and they don't even know what food is. The god sheep was kind-hearted and immediately told the people that they would definitely bring them some grain next time.

It turned out that at that time, only the Heavenly Palace Imperial Field was growing nutritious food. The stingy Jade Emperor was reluctant to share the delicacy of food with humans. After the divine sheep returned to the heavenly palace, while the god of heaven was asleep in the middle of the night, he sneaked into the imperial field, picked the five grains (rice, millet, wheat, beans, and hemp), put them in his mouth, and slipped to the mortal world before dawn.

The divine sheep gave the seeds to the human beings, and gave instructions on how to plant the grains, and quietly returned to the heavenly palace.

Humans sow the seeds of grains, and crops grow that year. At harvest time, human beings saw the ears of grain, which resembled the head of a sheep and the tail of a sheep, and the harvested grain was fragrant and sweet, and the clothes woven from the harvested hemp were light and warm. After the autumn harvest and winter storage, people held a grand memorial ceremony to thank the divine sheep for sending seeds, and this kind of autumn harvest and winter Tibetan farmer ancestor worship ceremony is still held in some rural areas.

The grand sheep sacrifice ceremony alarmed the Jade Emperor, and the Jade Emperor thought of the appearance of grains in the world. Immediately I thought of the goats of God bringing grain to the world. After finding out the situation, the Jade Emperor angered the divine sheep and ordered the heavenly palace to slaughter the sheep in the world, and asked people to eat the mutton.

In the second year, a strange thing happened, in the place where the god sheep was executed, first grass grew, and then lambs grew, and the sheep have been passed down from generation to generation in the world, eating grass for a living, and selflessly contributing their meat and milk to mankind.

When humans heard that the Jade Emperor wanted to choose twelve animals as human zodiac signs and give them as gods, people unanimously recommended sheep as this kind of zodiac. Although the Jade Emperor was worried about the matter of the sheep stealing the valley, it was difficult to resist everyone's opinions, so he had to agree that the sheep became the zodiac.

This year is 41 years old, belongs to the sheep.
