The 12 zodiac signs, also known as the zodiac, are 12 animals in China that match the 12 earthly branches with the year of birth of a person, including rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig.

The origin of the zodiac is related to animal worship.

The 12 zodiac signs are called as follows:

Cattle - native animals, cattle are generally regarded as one of the most important labor forces for farming, especially in ancient times when the sun rises and the sun sets, the cattle can be said to be the most powerful helpers of the ancients, "native animals", in short, livestock related to the land.

3, Tiger - Mountain King, this title to be honest, it sounds quite Sven, and I can't feel the majesty and domineering that a tiger should have, but as the saying goes, the tiger is the king of the mountains, and the name "Mountain King" may refer to the "king of the mountains".

4, rabbit - moon spirit, Chang'e to the moon.

Everyone knows the story, Guanghan Palace.

Cold and indifferent, the only living creature that accompanies Chang'e is only a jade rabbit.

The name "moon spirit" is presumably referred to as the spirit of the moon.

5. Dragon - Yun 螭 (chī), "螭" means a kind of dragon without horns in ancient times, often carved on some buildings or handicrafts, "cloud mantis" can be understood as a dragon that soars through the clouds and fog.

9. Monkey - Monkey, people often say that "the tree falls down and the monkey is scattered", and the monkey here refers to the monkey.

10. Chicken - family phoenix, since ancient times, chickens have been raised as domestic poultry, chickens and phoenixes are relatively similar, perhaps because of this, people will be called "family phoenix".

The name "Yellow Ear" comes from a sad story, which is said to be in the Wei and Jin dynasties.

There was a famous scholar named Lu Ji.

He was followed by a greyhound named "Yellow Ear".

12, pig - Ugin, "The Ruling and the Wild".

There are clouds: "Gongzhou."

The nickname of the mouse, in our country, in addition to the nickname of the mouse and the mouse, there are also the names of the sub-god, the shejun, the night miller, the domestic deer, and the insect, which reflects people's helpless mentality.

In the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", such as the "Classic of the North Mountain", there is a bird that "looks like a mouse and bird wings, and its sound is like a sheep", and also records the ear mouse that "its shape is like a mouse, and the head of the elk is like a dog, and its sound is like a dog, and its tail flies, and its name is called the ear mouse", and there is a flying squirrel that "its shape is like a rabbit and the head of a rat, and its back flies, and its name is called a flying squirrel".
