Twelve rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs, pigs and legendary dragons are used to record the years, which are arranged in the following order: rats, ugly cows, silver tigers, hairy rabbits, Chen Long, fourth uncle, five horses, sheep, monkeys, unitary chickens, unitary dogs and sea pigs.

Why do rats rank first in the zodiac?

In the Chinese Zodiac, why can the mouse that everyone shouts and beats be the leader?

According to folklore, the Jade Emperor summoned all the animals of the Zodiac to hold a ranking meeting, and eight immortals such as pigs, rats, cows, horses and sheep crossed the ocean to show their magical power. Everyone hurried to the meeting together. Niu Ge was simple and honest, and started early, leading to the first place. Originally, the champion belonged to him, but at the critical moment, the clever mouse quietly jumped on the cow's back and stood on the cow's head. As a result, Niu Ge had to give way to Brother Mouse, ranking second.

Of course, this is just a legend. In recent years, another more reasonable and credible statement has become popular. As we all know, animals have odd and even toes. Whether biped or quadruped, the number of toes is consistent, or the left and right are consistent, but rats are the exception. It has four toes on its front foot and five toes on its back foot. Therefore, when arranging the zodiac, they are arranged according to odd and even toes. Rat feet can't be arranged because even and odd are isomorphic.

Then there are four-toed cows, even, five-toed tiger feet, odd, four-toed free feet, even, five-toed dragon feet, odd, and snakes, because there are no toes, even, one-toed horse feet, odd, four-toed sheep feet, five-toed monkey feet, odd, four-toed chicken feet, even and five-toed dog feet.

This idea of dividing by the odd and even number of toes finally got justice for Brother Mouse, washed away the injustice of occupying a seat for many years, and allowed the mouse to hold its head high and show its elegance again in the new year.

Why are there mice in the zodiac?

A day and night is twenty-four hours. Ancient astronomers divided a day and night into twelve hours. At the same time, when they watch the celestial phenomena, they determine the zodiac according to the living habits and activities of twelve animals. From 11: 00 pm to 1: 00 am the next day, it is the time for mice to move in the dead of night, and they are called "mice". From/kloc-0 to 3 am, it's ugly. Cattle are used to eating grass at night, and farmers often get up late at night to feed them, so they are called "ugly cows". And so on.

In addition, there is a similar saying. It is said that heaven and earth were formed at the beginning of life without gaps, so gas can't escape and matter can't be used. When bitten by a mouse, the gas escapes and the substance can be used. Rats have the power to open celestial bodies, and they belong to rats when they are young. The mouse opens the gap between heaven and earth, the cow comes out to farm, and the clown belongs to the cow. Legend has it that people are born in Yin, and the word "Yin" means awe. In ancient times, people were most afraid of tigers, so Yin was a tiger. Shi Mao has entered the early morning, but the sun has not yet come out. It is the moon that illuminates the earth, and the only animal in the moon palace is the "Jade Rabbit", so Shi Mao is a rabbit. Legend has it that when the dragon rains, this time naturally belongs to the dragon. Snakes are good at hiding their whereabouts with grass. It is said that when they were young, they didn't swim on the road where people walked, so they didn't hurt people, so they belonged to snakes. At noon, the yang reaches the limit, and the yin is just about to produce, so the horse can't run without land. It belongs to the yin beast, so it belongs to the horse at noon. Legend has it that sheep eat untimely grass, which does not affect the regeneration of grass. If it is untimely, it will be returned to sheep. Shen means "stretch". Monkeys are best at stretching, bending and crawling, so Shen is a monkey. At this time, the chicken began to return to the nest, and it was a chicken at this time. When it is getting dark, the dog begins to "work" and look after the home. At this point, it belongs to the dog. At night, everything is silent and the world is chaotic, and pigs, like the chaos of heaven and earth, know nothing but "eat", so Shihai naturally belongs to pigs.
