Zodiac dragon
Dragon represents wealth and good luck, and it is a "spiritual thing" in people's imagination.
Just like the royal family, they also use dragons to symbolize themselves.
Then why don't you ask emperors why they symbolize themselves with things that don't exist? Don't want to do it?
Impossible ~
So at that time, dragons were sacred,
It's unlucky not to rank ~
So there must be.
Now that we are scientifically developed, you can't look at the ancient times with the eyes of modern people ~
I'll post some more for you to see. They have their own origins:
The choice of the zodiac is not complicated, but it is close to the daily life and social life of the Han people, which can be guessed. Zodiac animals can be roughly divided into three categories: one is the "six animals" domesticated by human beings, namely cattle, sheep, horses, pigs, dogs and chickens. Animals domesticated by human beings for economic or other purposes account for half of the Zodiac animals. "Six Livestock" is an important concept in China agricultural culture with a long history. In the traditional concept of China people, "Six Livestock Flourishing" represents the prosperity, auspiciousness and beauty of the family. During the Spring Festival, people usually talk about "the prosperity of six animals", so it is inevitable that these six animals will become the zodiac. The second category is well-known wild animals, which are closely related to people's daily and social life. They are tigers, rabbits, monkeys, rats and snakes, and some of them participate in human life with awe, such as tigers and snakes. There are also rodents that people hate and taboo, but they rely on human beings to survive; More people like it, such as rabbits and monkeys. The third category is the traditional symbolic mascot of China people-the dragon, which is a symbol of the Chinese nation, an "artifact" with many animal features, and a "spiritual thing" in people's imagination. Dragon represents wealth and good luck, and it is the most symbolic auspicious animal, so the position of dragon in the zodiac is indispensable.
As can be seen from the above, the choice of zodiac animals is not arbitrary, but has certain meanings. People choose animals from different angles, which has certain significance.
The Origin and Legend of the Chinese Zodiac
According to the literature, there were twelve earthly branches in the era of the Yellow Emperor, which were related to the twelve constellations such as Aries, Taurus, Gemini and Cancer. The earliest twelve earthly branches and twelve constellations represented twelve different months and festivals every year. Ten characters, such as A, B, C and D, were invented in the Shang Dynasty. Later, people who studied numerology called it heavenly stem, which was used in combination with earthly branches, such as Jia Zi and E Yuan, to calculate the year, month, day and time.
Some people think that the zodiac first appeared in writing. 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". From three to five in the morning, it belongs to Yin Shi. At this time, tigers lying during the day and walking at night are the fiercest. The ancients often heard tigers roaring at this time, so they were called "silver tigers". From five to seven in the morning, it's Shi Mao. At dawn, rabbits leave their nests and like to eat grass with morning dew, so they are called "hairy rabbits". Seven to nine in the morning is the time of day. It's usually foggy at this time. It is said that Longxi is flying in the clouds, which is worth the rising sun, so it is called "Chen Long". It's the fourth time from 9 am to 1 1. The fog cleared, the sun was shining, and the snake came out of the hole to feed and pretended to be a "snake". From eleven o'clock to one o'clock at noon, it is noon. In ancient times, wild horses were not tamed by humans. At noon, they run around screaming, so they are called "afternoon horses". 1: 00 to 3: 00 in the afternoon is inappropriate. Some places call it "sheep out of the slope", which means it is a good time to herd sheep, so it is called "Weiyang". From 3 pm to 5 pm, it is the application time. When the sun goes down in the west, the monkey likes to crow, so it is called "Shen Monkey". From five o'clock to seven o'clock in the afternoon, it is unitary time. When the sun goes down, the chicken spins in front of the nest, so it is called "unitary chicken". From 7 pm to 9 pm, it is a time of sadness. After a hard day's work, I bolted the door and got ready to have a rest. The dog crouched in front of the door to guard. As soon as there is movement, it barks and screams, so it is called "dog". From 9: 00 pm to 1 1, it is Shihai. You can hear the sound of the pig arch in the dead of night, so it is called "sea pig". In this way, the time of day is arranged by animals: mice, ugly cows, silver tigers, rabbits, Chen Long, uncles, afternoon horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and porcupines. Later, people used this method to determine the year, and the zodiac appeared. ...& gt& gt
Where does the dragon rank in the zodiac? How did the order of the zodiac come from? 15 pink dragon ranks fifth in the zodiac.
According to the time and life characteristics of ancient animals in China, twelve kinds of animals are regarded as the zodiac, that is, each animal lasts for one hour.
Rats rank first (with "children"),
The following order is: rat, cow, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog and pig.
Rat: From 1 1 in the evening to 1 the next day (that is, "midnight"). At this time, mice have the greatest courage and the most frequent activities, so they have been paired with mice since childhood.
Bull: 65438+ 0-3 am (that is, "ugly time"). At this time, the cow has eaten enough grass, and the "backward chewing" is the thinnest, slowest and most comfortable, so it is matched with the cow when it is ugly.
Tiger: 3-5 am (that is, "Yin Shi"). According to ancient books, at this time, the tiger was the most active, fierce and hurtful, so Yin Shi and the tiger became a pair.
Rabbit: 5-7 am (that is, "Shi Mao"). At this time, the sun has not yet appeared, and the glory of the moon has not completely retired. Jade rabbit is the representative of the moon and the only animal in the myth of the Moon Palace, so it is paired with rabbits in Shi Mao.
Dragon: 7-9 am (that is, "Chen Shi"). Legend has it that this is when the dragon rains. Dragons are mythical animals, so Chen Shi belongs to dragons.
Snake: 9- 1 1 in the morning (that is, "Shi Si"). It is said that snakes at this time will not hurt people, nor will they wander on the road where people walk, but will hide in the grass, so this time belongs to snakes.
M: From 1 1 in the morning to 1 in the evening (that is, "noon"). The Taoist priest said that at noon, the sun was on the horizon, the yang was at its peak, and the yin was gradually flourishing. When yin and yang change columns, most animals lie down and rest. Only horses stand habitually and don't lie down even when they sleep. So it belongs to the horse at noon
Sheep: 65438+ 0-3 pm (that is, "untimely"). It is said that sheep urinate most frequently at this time, and the spilled urine can cure a kind of madness, so it belongs to sheep since childhood.
Monkey: 3-5 pm (that is, "God Ten"). At this time, monkeys like to crow the most, and the sound is the longest and loudest. So Shen Shi is a monkey.
Chicken: 5-7 pm (that is, "You's"). At this time, when the sun sets on the mountain, the chicken begins to enter the cage for the night, so it belongs to the chicken.
Dog: 7-9 pm (that is, "time"). When night comes, dogs watch the house and keep vigil, which produces a special kind of vision and hearing. They can see farthest and hear clearly. So when you are a dog.
Pig: 9- 1 1 pm (that is, "Shihai"). At this time, pigs sleep best, snore loudest, shake muscles the most and gain meat the fastest, so Shihai is a pig.

What does an Chen behind the zodiac dragon mean? China's zodiac animals are made up of eleven natural animals, namely, rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs, pigs and legendary dragons. Used to record the year, the order is mouse, ugly cow, silver tiger, hairy rabbit, dragon, snake, afternoon horse, sheep, monkey, chicken and sheep. It is widely used in many countries and nationalities. The introduction of the source history in China began at least in the Southern and Northern Dynasties with the 12 zodiac calendar. "Northern history? Yuwen Hu Biography records a letter written by Yuwen Hu's mother. The letter said, "Your brother was born in Wuchuan Town. The eldest is a mouse, the second is a rabbit and you are a snake. "Explain the folk usage of 12 zodiac at that time. However, what is the origin of the 12 zodiac? According to Chinese ancient books, in the Central Plains of ancient China, the "chronology of branches and branches" was originally used, that is, 10 heavenly stems symbols A, B, C, D, E, Kyrgyzstan, G, Xin, Ren, Guihe 12 earthly branches symbols Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, and Mao. In the northwest of China, a few nomadic people use animals to record the years. It is recorded in the Book of the Tang Dynasty: "Tuoba Sinian takes twelve things as the standard. If a year is a cloudy year, it is called the Year of the Tiger. " In addition, "Song history? It is also recorded in the biography of Tubo that when the Tubo leader narrates, he records the year with things. As the saying goes, "The old story lasts for twelve days, so is the Year of the Rabbit and so is the Year of the Horse." Later, in the communication between the Central Plains and ethnic minorities, the two ways of dating contacted each other, forming the present 12 zodiac. As Zhao Yi pointed out in the Qing Dynasty's Jade Cong Kao, "At the beginning of the custom of covering the north, there was no ugliness on the 12th, but when rats, cows, tigers and rabbits were separated in age, they were spread in China and their ears were not wasted." This explanation about the origin of 12 zodiac has been recognized by many people. In addition, the story about the origin of 12 is as follows: Hong Xun's Miscellanies of Yanggu says that the odd-numbered earthly branches of 12 are also equipped with odd-numbered fingers or hooves of animals. If the child is in the first place, the matching mouse is 5 fingers, and if the ground branch is even, the name is even, such as cow, ugly and so on. Ye Shijie explained the origin of Cao Zhong 12 Zodiac as follows: the painter matched 12 with 12, and each Xiao had its own shortcomings, such as toothless mice, toothless cows, toothless tigers, toothless rabbits, toothless dragons, legless snakes, gutless horses, eyeless sheep and legless monkeys. "There are all kinds of other statements. For example, the Yellow Emperor chose 12 animals to be on duty in the sky on time ... Through the competition, he selected 12 animals such as mice, cows and tigers. 12 the zodiac originated from the totem worship of some clans in primitive society; 12 Zodiac may have been introduced by Tianzhu; Or 28 stars are distributed in a week or so, and the value is 12 hours. Each star is named after an animal. Choose a common animal on duty every hour as an agent for a certain year, and so on. Although people can't determine the exact origin of the 12 zodiac, it has been used to this day because of its popularity, convenience and interest, and has become a valuable legacy with practical value left by the ancients. Myths and Legends There is a myth about the origin of the zodiac: The Jade Emperor wanted to choose 12 animals as representatives, and then he sent a fairy to tell the animals about it, and set a time to come to Tiangong to run for office in the year of Taizu. The earlier he comes, the more advanced the team will be, and the ones behind will not be able to. At that time, cats and mice were still good friends. The cat loves to sleep, but he also wants to be chosen, so he asks the mouse to call him. But the mouse forgot as soon as it turned its head. The mouse went to the old cow and said that he got up early and ran fast, so the cow could take him. The old cow agreed at that time. The dragon has no horns and the chicken has horns. The dragon told the chicken that the chicken was already very beautiful and didn't need horns, so he let the chicken lend it to him. The chicken was very happy when he heard the flattery of the dragon, so he lent his horn to the dragon and told him to pay back the money on time after the election. Long readily agreed. In the year of Mao Mao, Uzuki, when the cat was still sleeping, many animals rushed to the Heavenly Palace. The mouse sits on the cow's back. After reaching heaven, the mouse jumped up. The Jade Emperor said that the mice arrived first, which made them the first. Old steak is second; The tiger also arrived late, ranking third; The rabbit also arrived, ranking fourth; The dragon came late, but he was very big. The Jade Emperor saw him at a glance. Seeing that he was so beautiful, he ranked fifth. He also said that his son ranked sixth, but Long was disappointed because his son didn't come today. At this time, the snake behind came running and said, "He * * * Dad, I am the sixth! "! I'm sixth! The snake ranked sixth; Horses and sheep >>
Where does the dragon rank in the zodiac? Because there are no dragons now. Moreover, according to scientists' analysis, dragons are just imaginary creatures pieced together, and there are many legends in the zodiac. The story of Yu Zodiac is a very interesting topic. The stories mentioned here include myths, legends and allusions. In the ranking of the zodiac, why do mice rank first with their younger generation? First of all, this question puzzles the sages of mankind and the wise men of today: in terms of size, the mouse is so small that people can hold it in the palm of their hands and play with it. It is the smallest of the 12 zodiac signs. ; On brute force, it can hardly be compared with the strength of cattle, the fierceness of tigers, the divine power of dragons and the prancing of horses. In terms of quality, the steadfastness of cattle, the kindness of rabbits, the diligence of horses, the meekness of sheep and the reality of pigs are all many times better than those of mice. On wisdom again, the cleverness of monkeys and the cleverness of dogs are above that of mice. To say the least, even if snakes are the most vicious, I'm afraid they have to be in front of mice. But the fact is that the little mouse is the first in the zodiac! This problem is still an unsolved case. Some people say that the legal newspaper probably has only one explanation: the guy who ranks the zodiac is a corrupt official, taking bribes and bending the law. He accepted the huge interests of the mouse, made a power and money transaction, and put the first gold crown on the head of a little mouse without virtue and talent. This is of course just a far-fetched joke. But it is true that human beings have never found a convincing explanation for this. However, human beings are, after all, the smartest advanced animals among animals. Many years after the zodiac was confirmed, people finally made up a folk story that may be self-deceiving and self-explanatory, so as to explain why rats rank first in the zodiac. This story, called "the first mouse", spread in the Central Plains of Hunan and Hubei. After the mouse, cow, horse and sheep were elected as the zodiac, the mouse said, I should be the first one. Cattle, horses and sheep said unconvinced, why do you rank first? The mouse said: I am old, so I want to be the first. Niu Ma and others couldn't help laughing: Are you as old as us? The mouse said, we don't count when we argue. Let others speak. Cattle, horses, sheep, etc. Everyone agrees to let people comment. So they discussed ways: led by cows, horses, sheep and mice, they walked through the streets one by one to see what people said. In the street, a cow came and people said that this cow is very strong. The horse is coming, people say, this horse is really tall. Here comes the sheep. People say that this sheep is very fat. Finally, the mouse swaggered over. People saw a big mouse suddenly appearing in the street, and everyone chased it and shouted, What a big mouse! What a big mouse! In this way, cows, horses and sheep have nothing to say, and mice rank first. In addition, there is a similar story about the ranking of the twelve genera among the people. There is also an interesting story about how the zodiac signs are arranged: at the beginning of chaos, just after heavenly stems and earthly branches, the Jade Emperor ordered the gathering of all the animals in the world, and selected the zodiac signs according to the twelve branches of purple, ugly, yin, wool, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai. After the news came out, it alarmed two good friends, Flower Cat and Mouse. The cat said to the mouse, I'm going to heaven at five o'clock tomorrow. I have a problem with sleepiness. You should call me! The mouse repeatedly said, OK, OK! But the next morning, the dishonest mouse got up secretly and left without saying goodbye. On this day, Yunnan, the beast in Lingxiao Hall, began to be selected. According to the difference between heaven and earth, the Jade Emperor selected twelve kinds of land and water animals, including dragon, tiger, ox, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog, pig, rabbit, snake and mouse, as the zodiac. The rooster had two beautiful horns at that time and was also included in the beast. The Jade Emperor was about to arrange their seats when the black raccoon pig flashed out. Although it is stupid, it only likes to make trouble. It says: Now that the Jade Emperor has chosen a leader, I am willing to share your worries, be a fair man and arrange my brothers in turn. The Jade Emperor was overjoyed. He told the pig to be selfless and cut off contacts, so he retired from the DPRK. As soon as the Jade Emperor left, the zodiac became a pot of porridge. At the beginning, everyone unanimously pushed ... >>

How did the Year of the Loong come from?
It is said that ancient dragons had no horns. At that time, dragons lived on the ground. It is very strong in itself, can fly, is good at swimming, and wants to be an animal symbol, and also wants to be a beastmaster instead of a tiger. As a result, Long Hudou was born in the world, and the result is inseparable. Finally, the Jade Emperor thought that they played badly and ordered them to come to the Heavenly Palace for trial. When he left, the dragon felt that although he was tall, he was not as powerful as the tiger, and he was afraid that the jade emperor would look down on himself. He was not a beastmaster or a zodiac sign. At this time, the dragon's younger brother centipede had an idea: "The rooster has a pair of beautiful horns. Don't be afraid. If you borrow them, you will definitely add a little prestige to Brother Long." The dragon was overjoyed, so he and centipede came to the rooster to borrow horns.
The rooster heard that the dragon wanted to borrow its horn, but he refused to live or die. The dragon was in a hurry and swore to heaven, "If I don't return your horn, I will die when I get back to land." Centipede was also a protector in Qin Shihuang's time. "If Brother Long doesn't return your horn, you can eat me in one bite." When the cock saw the centipede as safe, he lent his horn to the dragon.
When Dragon and Tiger arrived in the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor saw that both dragons and tigers were very powerful, so he ordered them to be the king of beasts, the tiger the king of land beasts and the dragon the king of aquatic animals. Since the tiger can be the zodiac, the dragon can also be the zodiac, only in the back. So, both the dragon and the tiger were happy, left the Jade Emperor and returned to the mortal world. When they came back, the dragon thought, if I give the horn back to the rooster, will the aquarium people believe that I am so ugly? So I decided not to return the cock's horn, plunged into the water, and now I don't go to land.
When the rooster saw that the dragon didn't return its horn, he was flushed with anger and took it out on the centipede. The centipede was so scared that it got into the crack. Today, we can also see that the cock's face is always red, and centipedes rarely climb out of the ground. When the cock sees the centipede, he always eats it one by one and always shouts, "Brother Long, give me back my horn!" " "The dragon has never been to land again.

These legends are more fascinating after being processed by the people and polished by the literati. People's psychology that John Lone loves dragons has been sublimated into a kind of worship. Perhaps this is also the cultural factor that makes the dragon a zodiac.
In ancient times, the dragon symbolized that the emperor was above, and everyone had to listen to his will. Dragons are ever-changing, but dragons are short of ears. People who belong to dragons are very subjective. Everything is based on your own judgment. Although the opinions given to him by others sound passive in Nuo Nuo, they all act according to their own opinions in the end, so people who belong to dragons have ears (it is not easy to accept other people's opinions). Therefore, when creating characters, it depends on the character of the dragon. If you can't hear under the dragon, you are deaf. "This is the reason.

Why are there no real dragons in the zodiac? The choice of the zodiac is not complicated, but it is close to the daily life and social life of the Han people, which can be guessed. Zodiac animals can be roughly divided into three categories: one is the "six animals" domesticated by human beings, namely cattle, sheep, horses, pigs, dogs and chickens. Animals domesticated by human beings for economic or other purposes account for half of the Zodiac animals. "Six Livestock" is an important concept in China agricultural culture with a long history.
