Why use the zodiac calendar?

With the 12 zodiac chronology, at least during the Northern and Southern Dynasties (1), the Chinese zodiac animals were opposed to each other, and the six divisions in the wheel of karma condensed all the expectations and requirements of our ancestors for us China people. The first group: rats and cows. Rats represent wisdom and cows represent diligence. The two must be closely combined. Only wisdom without diligence will become wisdom, and diligence will become stupidity. So the two must be combined. This is the first set of expectations and requirements of our ancestors for China people, and it is also the most important set. The second group: tigers and rabbits. Tigers represent courage, rabbits represent caution. The two must be closely combined to achieve the so-called boldness and caution. Courage without caution becomes recklessness, and blind caution becomes timidity. This group is also very important, so it is placed in the second place. The third group is the dragon snake. The dragon represents tenacity, and the snake represents flexibility. The so-called rigid is easy to fold, too rigid is easy to break; Too soft is easy to be weak, too soft is easy to lose your mind, so combining rigidity with softness is our ancestral motto. The fourth group is horses and sheep. Horses represent indomitable spirit and strive for goals, while sheep represent unity and harmony. The Chinese nation is a big family, and we need a united and harmonious internal environment. Only by collective harmony can we free our hands to pursue our respective ideals. If a person only cares about his own interests and does not pay attention to unity and harmony, he is doomed to be lonely. Therefore, individual efforts and collective harmony must be closely combined. The fifth group is 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 not get anything in the end. But if you just stay the same, stagnate and be monolithic, there will be no reform and opening up today. There is only a very harmonious combination between them. On the one hand, it has stability and maintains the overall harmony and order, on the other hand, it can continue to develop flexibly. 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, if a person is too easy-going and has no loyalty, he will lose his principles. Therefore, whether it is loyalty to a nation-state, loyalty to a team, or loyalty to one's own ideals, it must be closely combined with easygoing, so that it is easy to truly maintain deep loyalty. This is what we in China have always insisted, that a gentleman is harmonious but different. Everyone in China has his own zodiac sign. Some people are pigs, others are dogs. What's the point? In fact, our ancestors expected us to be harmonious and impartial, and asked us to know how to cut into the corresponding surface. Characteristics and shortcomings of the Zodiac rat: attraction, social ability, influence, intelligence, frugality, charm, tension, power desire and verbosity.

Zodiac was originally a set of symbols used in chronology, which was a part of ancient astronomical calendar, and later became a widely recognized zodiac calendar. China's ancient philosophy is "harmony between man and nature" and "Yin and Yang and five elements are the foundation of the universe". They believe that the sun and the moon are the source of yin and yang, and the five elements of Jin Mu's fire, water and soil are the foundation of all things, which are combined into seven lewdness, with the sun, the moon and the stars as lewdness and the sun, the moon and the Jin Mu as the basis. It dominates everything, and the zodiac is located in the sky, which is unified with the twelfth day of the year and the seven wonders. Therefore, the zodiac is influenced by the concept of yin and yang and the five elements and becomes a part of folk religious beliefs. Since the concept of the zodiac appeared in the folk, with the prevalence of fortune telling, it has been circulating among the people. Folk superstition holds that every element in the five elements is mutually restrictive and will have a great influence on people's life. People can use different five elements to coordinate, so that their life and work can be satisfactory. Folks classify the animals of the zodiac as yin and yang, corresponding to the five elements, thus producing a set of fortune-telling techniques that determine the fate of the zodiac. At the same time, people also believe that the zodiac has a certain relationship with people's personality. Even people with the same zodiac sign have different personalities and fates because of their different birth times. A very important part of the belief in the zodiac is China people's concept of the zodiac. The birth year of the Han nationality is based on the zodiac, which is closely related to the zodiac. When a person is born in the lunar calendar, then every year of this zodiac will be the year of his birth. Because of the cycle of the zodiac, every 12 years, people will meet their own birth years and introduce them in turn. People think that the animal year is a bad year, so we should seek good luck and avoid evil. Every animal year in the north of Han nationality, no matter adults or children, they should wear red belts, which is called "tying red". Children should wear red vests and red shorts, thinking that only in this way can they make money and avoid disasters. This custom is still popular all over the country. During the Spring Festival, red and yellow ribbons of "auspicious ribbon" and "auspicious knot" are sold everywhere in the market. People in this animal year tie them around their waists and wrists, which can resolve disasters and turn evil into good. Many ethnic groups in our country attach great importance to the 60th birthday of the elderly, calling it "flower flower flower". Huahuahua is the fifth animal year in a person's life, and it is also the reincarnation of a dry year, so we should celebrate it well to pin people's wishes for longevity, health and good luck. Taoism is a native religion born and bred in China. Founded in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it has been circulated 1800 years. Taoism takes Yin-Yang and Five Elements as its core teachings. Under the influence of the concept of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, Taoism has a close natural relationship with heavenly stems and earthly branches and the Zodiac. Among the famous Taoist temples in Beijing, there is the Chen Yuan Temple, also known as the "Sixty Jiazi Temple", which is the core memorial of life in the temple where believers pray to Chen Yuan. I was born in Chen Yuan, the core monument of my life. In the past, I often worshipped Chen Yuan's star god, the core monument of life, and prayed for good luck. My name is Shunxing. According to Taoist teachings, the cultivation of truth and refinement must be dedicated to Yuan in the core monument of life, and only by removing distractions and selfishness can we live forever. It has become a custom to worship the birthday of the core monument of life. Every year on the seventh and eighth day of the first month, Beijingers will go to the Chenyuan Temple in Baiyunguan to "worship the stars" and pray for a year of peace, which means that even in bad years, they can be protected by the god of life's core monuments through prayer. The above 60 life-core tablet gods enshrined in the temple are all clay sculptures with heavy colors, all of which are statues, absorbing the animal images of their respective zodiac signs. Some of the names of these 60 statues are historical figures, and their images bear obvious signs of the zodiac, such as Jia Zi's old age, golden age, distinguished generals, rat appearance, holding peaches and so on. From the contents of Taoism about the core of life, the tablet god and the sixty sons, we can see the relationship between the belief in the zodiac and Taoism. Taoism believes in Laozi's Tao, which is everywhere and the beginning of all things. Everything in the world is dominated by it, and life is no exception. The idea that the Chinese zodiac cooperates with heavenly stems and earthly branches to form the sixties is a manifestation of the combination of the Chinese zodiac and Taoism. People worship the core monument of Chen Yuan, the god of life, in order to pray for the blessing of the gods. It can be seen that the zodiac has become a dominant factor in people's lives and a part of life beliefs. "Zodiac" refers to 12 kinds of animals, that is, rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs, not the twelve earthly branches. For example, people born in Yin years belong to tigers, and people born in Mao years belong to rabbits. "Zodiac", commonly known as "Zodiac", is a unique way to express the time of birth in China, which is equivalent to the western zodiac (Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn and Aquarius).

In China, a multi-ethnic country, the zodiac is not a patent of the Han nationality, and many ethnic minorities use the zodiac calendar. First of all, let's take a look at the comparison table of zodiac signs of various ethnic groups.

Zodiac of all ethnic groups

The twelve zodiac signs of Yi people in western Guangxi: dragon, phoenix, horse, ant, human, chicken, dog, pig, sparrow, cow, tiger and snake. Ailaoshan Yi people's zodiac signs: tiger, rabbit, pangolin, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog, pig, mouse and cow. Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou Yi people's zodiac signs: mouse, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog and pig. Hainan Li people's zodiac signs: chicken, dog, pig, mouse, cow, insect, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep and monkey. Yunnan Dai people's zodiac signs: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, snake, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog and elephant. The zodiac signs of Zhuang nationality in Guangxi are rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog and pig. Twelve kinds of Mongolian animals: tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog, pig, mouse and cow. Twelve kinds of Uygur animals in Xinjiang: rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, fish, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs. Kirgiz zodiac: mouse, ox, tiger, rabbit, fish, snake, horse, sheep, fox, chicken, dog and pig. As can be seen from the above table, many ethnic minorities in China, such as Mongolian, Zhuang and some Yi people, are all influenced by the Han nationality, basically the same as the Han nationality. However, some ethnic groups have undergone some variations while accepting the China Zodiac culture. In the Zodiac series, Yi compatriots in Ailao Mountain occupy the dragon position with pangolins. In Xinjiang Kirgiz Zodiac, fish On Behalf Oflong and fox are used instead of monkeys. Compatriots of Li nationality in Hainan mark the date with the zodiac, starting with the chicken and ending with the monkey. Dai people living in Xishuangbanna use yellow cattle instead of yellow cattle and goats instead of sheep. The sea is not a pig, but an elephant. From the above changes, it can be seen that when choosing zodiac animals, due to different living environments and different species, all ethnic groups choose the closest animal as the zodiac animal, which brings certain differences to the zodiac culture. In addition to the variation in the selection of animals in the zodiac, ethnic minorities have also formed their own different methods of marking the year, month and day, and there have also been many folk customs related to the zodiac.

Twelve Zodiacs of Liangshan Yi Nationality

Yi people use the zodiac calendar, also called the zodiac calendar. The ancient epic Le Aoteyi and Yi people have legends about the origin of the zodiac. Look at the etiquette and customs of Liangshan Yi people in Wang Changfu. The Yi people living in Liangshan, Sichuan are marked by rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs. The name of each animal has a period of one year, * * * 12 years. There is a convenient formula for calculating age: "One round of thirteen, two rounds of twenty-five, three rounds of thirty-seven, four rounds of forty-nine, five rounds of sixty-one, six rounds of seventy-three ..." and so on. The calendar of Liangshan Yi people also adopts the twelve zodiac signs, namely, rat month, ox month, tiger month, rabbit month, dragon month, snake month, horse month, sheep month, monkey month, chicken month, dog month and pig month. Every month, there are 30 days in the big month and 29 days in the small month. The big moon and the small moon are determined according to whether the moon was 15 or 16 last month. Xiaoyue 15 circle is 29 days, and Dayue 16 circle is 30 days. However, the first month used in different places is different. In some places, horse month is the first month, in some places, sheep month is the first month, and in some places, monkey month is the first month. The method of marking the date also adopts the Chinese zodiac, and the twelfth day is a round, which is not limited by the year and month (including leap month) and can be pushed back indefinitely and never terminated. Yi people's zodiac calendar has also been applied to folk witchcraft. Liangshan Yi people believe that people are closely related to the five elements of wood, fire, earth, iron and water, and people can only live in harmony with them, which is a natural destiny. Man's destiny lies in the harmony among ten fates formed by the combination of the five elements with men and women, namely, Mugong, Mu Mu, Huogong, Tugong, Tiemu, Shuigong and Jellyfish. In addition, ten kinds of destinies are matched with twelve genera to form a "chronology", and the 60-year chronology is used to count people's destinies. The Chinese zodiac of the Yi people is also used for marriage. When choosing a spouse and getting engaged, the Yi people attach great importance to the conditions such as nationality and rank. In addition, it is also important whether the birthdays of men and women coincide. The folk formula is: "Rabbits, pigs and sheep follow, cows, snakes and chickens follow, dogs are sloppy, and monkeys, dragons and rats are in harmony." Everything that conforms to the above formula is consistent, but it is not very strict. People who belong to tigers are most afraid of people who belong to chickens and sheep, fearing that "tigers eat chickens and eat sheep."

According to Mr. Zhang, the timing method of the Han nationality was gradually introduced into the Dai area in the Han Dynasty. This timing method of the Han nationality has been used up to now (see Dai Culture edited by Zhang, Jilin Education Press 1986), and it is still an important part of the Dai calendar. The method is the same as the lunar calendar, that is, the ten-day trunk and the twelve earthly branches cooperate with each other to get sixty jiazi, and sixty numbers are used to mark the year and day, while the twelve earthly branches are used to mark the month separately. Shortly after the trunk branches were introduced into the Dai area, the Chinese zodiac of the Han nationality was introduced. The China Zodiac in Dai areas is slightly different. Dehong area is exactly the same as the Han nationality, but Xishuangbanna renamed the pig as the elephant and the dragon as the snake or jiaozi, which is slightly different. The twelve zodiac signs used by Dai people are rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, snake, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog and elephant. In Xishuangbanna and other places, the zodiac signs are matched with earthly branches to record not only the year, but also the month and day. For example, in the Dai calendar year of rat bone, "bone" is the year, "blood" is the month, "skin" is the day, the ugly year is the cow bone, and the cloudy year is the tiger bone; April rabbit blood, June snake blood, July horse blood; Monkey skin, chicken skin and so on. It can be seen that after being absorbed into the Dai calendar, the zodiac is more widely used in the Han calendar than in the lunar calendar.

Tibetan zodiac

Traditionally, the chronology of the Tibetan zodiac was brought by Songzan Gambu, who married Princess Wencheng in the Tang Dynasty, in the 7th century. The Tibetan zodiac is 60 years old, and it is called "Deng Hui" in Tibetan, which means wooden mouse. The Tibetan 60-year-old starts from the year of the wooden mouse, which is equivalent to the year of Jiazi of the Han nationality. The Tibetan zodiac is characterized by the combination of yin and yang and the five elements of Xiao and beast, so it is called the Year of the Rabbit with Yin Fire, the Year of the Monkey with Yang Soil and the Year of the Monkey with Yang Gold. There is a corresponding relationship between the chronology of the zodiac in Tibetan calendar and the five elements of Yin and Yang: A and B are wood, Ding is fire, Wuji is earth, Geng Xin is gold, and Gui Ren is water. In each of the above five pairs, the former is Yang and the latter is Yin. Although heavenly stems and earthly branches is not clearly marked in Tibetan calendar, it implies the order of branches. In addition, men and women are used instead of yin and yang in the Tibetan calendar. For example, the year of Yin Taurus is also called the year of female Taurus, and the year of Yang Shuihu is also called the year of male Shuihu.

Naxi zodiac

Naxi nationality is a minority living in Yunnan province and a branch of the ancient Qiang nationality. Naxi people also use the zodiac to mark the day, which has a unique method and orientation. They divide the twelve months of the year into a big month and a small month, and each month has 30 days. The first day of each month is the Year of the Monkey, and the order of monkeys, chickens, dogs, pigs, rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses and sheep is the 29th day of each month. Entering bimonthly, the first day of bimonthly is separated by ox day, which is designated as Tiger Day.

Vietnamese people have twelve zodiac signs, which are basically the same as those in China. Only "cats" are used instead of "rabbits", that is, rats, cows, tigers, cats, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs, which are basically the same as in China. Indians have twelve zodiac signs, two of which are different from China: one is a lion instead of a tiger, and the other is a canary instead of a chicken. Egyptians have twelve zodiac signs, namely: ox, sheep, monkey, donkey, crab, snake, dog, cat, crocodile, flamingo, lion and eagle. Koreans have twelve zodiac signs, namely: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog and pig, which are consistent with China. The Greeks have twelve zodiac signs, which are basically the same as the Egyptians, except that the Greeks have "rats" but not "cats", while the Egyptians have "cats" but not "rats". Mexicans have twelve zodiac signs, including tigers, rabbits, dragons, monkeys, dogs, pigs and six other animals unique to Mexico. Europeans and European countries have basically the same zodiac signs, and most of them are planetesimals. For example, in France, Aquarius, Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus, Aries, Cancer, Gemini, Lion, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius make up the twelve zodiac signs, which are called the twelve constellations.

The birth of the zodiac has an astronomical background. In primitive times, our ancestors experienced a cycle of alternating cold and summer. Hong Hao's Biography at the End of the Song Dynasty records: "Nuzhen is very small, just after the new moon, and she doesn't know the sun. When asked, they will say, "How many times have I seen grass?" Grass is green year after year. "Song Dynasty Meng Gong's Record of Monks and Tartars also said:" Every grass is one year old. When someone asks its age, they say how many grasses it is. " Another sky observer found that the moon's profit and loss cycle can be used to measure the length of years, and twelve full moons are one year old. This discovery is one of the most accurate achievements of the early calendar, and "Twelve" is regarded as "days" to convey God's will. Heavenly stems and earthly branches, the sun and the moon are opposite, and heaven and earth are opposite, which is "Twelve".

In thousands of years of traditional culture in China, the zodiac is not only a vivid way to mark the year and the moon, but also has been combined with everyone and endowed with a magical personality. According to the textual research of Evonne in Qing Dynasty, the zodiac originated from the Eastern Han Dynasty. Since then, many Chinese zodiac poems written by literati have been circulated among the people. The earliest Zodiac poem is said to be "Zodiac Poem" written by Shen Jiong, a poet of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and Chen Dynasty: "The case of rat dust, cattle and sheep come at dusk. A roaring tiger gives birth to an empty valley, and a rabbit opens a bright moon window. The dragon ridge is far green, and the snake willow lingers near. Ma Lanfang is far away and breeds sheep in spring. The monkey chestnut shames the fragrant fruit, and the chicken toe attracts the bosom. The dog is outside the house and the pig window is long. " The first word of each sentence in the poem points out the names of the animals of the zodiac in turn, and highlights the habits and characteristics of each animal. Zhu, a writer in the Southern Song Dynasty, also wrote a poem about the zodiac, which is rigorous in structure, easy to understand and full of fun: "Smelling empty mice in the daytime can drive away the wasteland." When I was a tiger, I listened to arrogance, and the old rabbit garden was unscrupulous. You see, after sleeping for three winters, the dragon's head doesn't argue with the snake. Destroying a car and killing a horse is easy to cook and drink. Hand-planted monkey peaches hang green, and Kunming birds crow horns are raised. Guests come to the dog to urge tea, and they don't have to buy pork from the owner. " In the Yuan Dynasty, Liu's zodiac poem says, "The hungry eagle scares the mouse, and the cow lies on its back." . The battle for the rabbit hole in Jingzhou has traveled thousands of miles. There is no end to fish and dragons entering the water, but a cup and a plate of snakes in the mirror. The autumn wind in the horse's ear has gone without a trace, and the narrow path has returned home early. There is no need to dance with monkeys in the hall, and chickens in the intestines are paradise. Chai Men's dog barked at his neighbors and asked them to buy Xie Chunyu's pig. The Chinese zodiac is embedded in poetry, and each sentence is a brilliant story, which is absolutely wonderful.
