What does the zodiac have to do with it?

The zodiac, the six divisions in the wheel of karma, can be divided into six ancestors from a certain angle. They also represent different meanings and different requirements and expectations of our ancestors. First, the first group is rats and cows. Rats represent wisdom and cows represent diligence. Wisdom and diligence must be closely combined. If you are smart and not diligent, you become smart; But if you are diligent and not thoughtful, it becomes stupid. The two must be combined. This is the expectation and requirement of our ancestors for our first group, and it is also the most important group.

The second group are tigers and rabbits. Tigers represent courage, rabbits represent caution. Courage and caution must be closely combined in order to be bold and cautious. If courage leaves prudence, it becomes recklessness, but without courage, it becomes timidity. This group is also very important, so it is placed in the second place.

The third group is dragons and snakes, representing tenacity and snakes representing flexibility. The so-called rigidity is easy to break, too rigid is easy to break, but if there is only a soft side, it is easy to lose your mind. Therefore, combining rigidity with softness is our ancestral motto.

Then there are horses and sheep. Horses represent courage and sheep represent harmony. If a person only cares about himself and goes straight to the goal, regardless of the surrounding environment, he will inevitably bump into the surrounding area, and he may not be able to achieve his goal in the end. However, if a person is too busy letting nature take its course, he may even have no direction. Therefore, going forward must be closely combined with harmony, which is the fourth set of expectations of our ancestors.

Then there are monkeys and chickens. Monkeys represent flexibility, and chickens crow regularly, representing constancy. Flexibility and constancy must be closely combined. If you are flexible and not static, no matter how good the policy is, you will get nothing. On the one hand, it is stable, maintaining overall harmony and order, on the other hand, it can move forward in flexibility, which is the most fundamental essence.

On the one hand, it has stability and maintains overall harmony and order, on the other hand, it can move forward in flexibility, which is the most fundamental essence.

Finally, dogs and pigs. Dogs represent loyalty and pigs represent easygoing. If a person is too loyal and doesn't know how to be easy-going, he will exclude others. On the other hand, a person is too easy-going. Without loyalty, this person loses his principles. Both loyalty to a nation and loyalty to one's own ideals must be closely combined with easygoing. It's easy to maintain inner balance.
