What unlucky animals are there in the zodiac?

The Origin and Causes of the Twelve Zodiacs in China

This superstition has existed since the Han Dynasty, that is, the theory of "Liuhe". In the ancient poem "Jiao Zhongqing's Wife" handed down from the Han Dynasty, the mother found another husband for her daughter who was driven back to her family, and her husband's family "reopened the book according to the calendar, so that Liuhe could correspond this month." This "Liuhe" is to choose an auspicious day to get married. The so-called "auspiciousness" is the combination of yin and yang in jujube characters. There are six kinds: zi and ugliness, sea and yin, Xu and Mao, especially Chen, Shen and Si, Wu and Wei.

But ten heavenly stems and earthly branches belongs to Yang, and twelve earthly branches belong to Yin. Therefore, the words used in the branches of any day have a combination of yin and yang (that is, the earth branch and the sky branch), so there is no disagreement and no choice of combination. If the eight characters of earthly branches are divided into yin and yang, zi, yin, Chen, Wu, Shen and Xu all belong to yang, while ugliness, Mao, Si, Wei, You and Hai all belong to yin. It should be a combination of Zi Chou, Yin Mao, Tatsumi, Tachileik, Shen You and Xu Hai. But this is known to many people, and superstition does not say so. In order to deceive people and be mysterious, the creator of superstition changed the normal order of Zi, Ugly, Yin and Mao into putting Zi and Ugly in the middle, saying that Zi and Ugly are adjacent, and the sea and Yin are symmetrical, which is the so-called Liuhe. The situation is as follows:

It's afternoon to apply for Haizi Ugly.

Obviously, this is purely a man-made combination. There is no difference between yin and yang in the use of words in the ground branch, one word a day, and there is no layer of "yang". It can be seen that the so-called Liuhe is the combination of yin and yang, which is unreasonable and contradicts the theory of yin and yang.

The saying of "Liuhe" existed in the Han Dynasty, referring to a good day. It was not until the Book of Rites of Nanqi that the explanation was given: "The five elements say that the twelve birthdays are six in one." Yin and the sea are in harmony, while the East cultivates Yin and Yue, Yin and Yue, and Sun and Chen are in harmony. "The so-called' Moon Building' simply means that a month corresponds to a dozen words, and' Day' means that a dozen words correspond to a certain day. It is also a layer without "Yang". In fact, the so-called "moon building" and "day" collocation only means that the combination of "moon" and "day" into the word "bright" will make this day bright or not. Bright and auspicious, so it is a good day.

It turns out that this is the truth and secret of the so-called "Liuhe" auspicious day. No wonder no one dared to open the window and say why, and no one came to study and expose it. Therefore, for thousands of years, magicians and yin and yang teachers have used this to deceive people, while superstitious people pay them to deceive themselves.

Superstition deceives people with a lot of bad luck. There are only six good days, but there are many kinds of bad days, such as "six reds", "six evils" and "three punishments" The explanation and explanation are as follows.

The twelve earthly branches and the twelve Chinese zodiac animals are connected from beginning to end, and go back and forth. Superstitious designers arrange them in a circle, take any branch word and connect it with the opposite branch word through the center of the circle. These six groups of relationships are the so-called "six reds" unlucky days. In another way, without going through the center of the circle, the slave is connected with the corresponding sheep on the opposite side, and so on, and the other ten words are combined into a corresponding relationship, which is the so-called "six evils."

"Three punishments" refer to the other three combinations of days that punish and punish each other: zi and Mao, deficiency and ugliness, yin and si. It is not easy to see how they came from, because superstitious designers used more subtle means. Let's talk about the sub-hair group first, which is another way: starting from the sub, divide the ugliness into yin, and connect with the hair on the circumferential map; Similarly, connect Mao with Wu, Wu Heyou and You Hezi. In fact, there are four groups of relationships, and the other three groups are deliberately abandoned. Concealing the whole, only revealing a corner, naturally it is difficult to know the truth. There are also four groups, from Xu to ugliness, from ugliness to Chen, from Chen to Wei, from unitary to ugly, only mentioning Xu and ugliness. There are also groups of Yin, Si, Shen and Si Xu, and only Yin and Xu are mentioned.

Superstition will also be unconventional, so there are six evils, six evils and three punishments. There are other similar views, so I don't need to say them one by one.

Those auspicious combinations and disagreements are so "puzzling" from the paper.

In the Tang dynasty, there was a saying of "eight characters", which used four eight characters on the date of birth to make various fortune-telling. But the real calculation is too troublesome, and it is inevitable that one is consistent with the other, so it is difficult to choose. In fact, it is only determined from the "year" and only inferred from the words used in it. Because the word "earthly branch" only indicates the sequential relationship, it can also refer to a certain genus in a certain year, so the earthly branches of "Liuhe", "Liuhong", "Liuhai" and "Sanfei" have been replaced by the corresponding twelve genera, which are specially used to judge the marriage. Believing in the saying that "the five elements are born together", superstition also says that "Liuhe" is calculated from "the five elements are born together". This is another lie. Let's look at the soil branch, genus and five elements. The corresponding relationship between them is as follows.

The ugly branch of the earth did not apply for the sea at noon.

Zombies, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs.

The five elements belong to water, earth, wood, wood, earth, fire, earth, gold, earth and water.

So corresponding, becomes:

Liuhe: zi and ugliness (mouse and cow), sea and yin (pig and tiger), Xu and Mao (dog and rabbit), especially Chen (chicken and dragon), Shen and Si (monkey and snake), Wu and Wei (horse and sheep).

Six reds: Zi and Wu (mouse and horse), Ugliness and Wei (cow and sheep), Yin and God (tiger and monkey), Mao and You (rabbit and chicken), Chen and Xu (dragon and dog), Si and the sea (snake and pig).

Six evils: the son is not (mouse and sheep), ugly and noon (cow and horse), yin and si (tiger and snake), Mao and Chen (rabbit and dragon), the sea and Shen (pig and monkey), Xu and you (dog and chicken).

These statements are actually sophistry, sophistry and deception. Because:

Water can wash away soil, and soil can also block it. This is the so-called water-soil collision. Metal knives cut wood, fire melts metal, and earth pressure can put out fires. These are collisions. But Liuhe said that children and ugliness (rats and cows), unity and Chen (chickens and dragons), Shen and Si (monkeys and snakes), and Wu and Wei (horses and sheep) are harmonious. There are three contradictions in the theory of five elements.

Chen and Xu, ugliness and ignorance are all dirt, and they are all the same, so the so-called collision between dragons and dogs, cattle and sheep simply doesn't make sense.

These statements conceal the mutual development of the five elements. If wood can make a fire, it is said that yin and four (tigers and snakes) are harmful; Trees grow in the soil, but it is said that Mao and Chen (rabbits and dragons) are harmful; There are metal mines in rocks and mountains, but it is said that dogs and chickens are harmful to each other.

Metal tools cut wood, but shovels, forks and other heads also need wooden handles. Fire can burn wood, but it is blunt; So, the tiger and the monkey clashed. But the sun and high temperature are also fire, but the growth of vegetation can not be separated from the sun, and it can still be consistent. Rabbit (wood) and dragon (soil) are harmful to each other, and the explanation is as follows: wood (plant) breaks ground and produces grams, so it is not suitable to raise wood with soil.

There are all kinds of relationships between things, and the superstitious view of mutual restriction is either just one thing and ignores the others, or it doesn't even make any sense. What's more, the animals themselves are not contradictory. Cats are the natural enemies of mice, wolves eat sheep, but there are no cats and wolves in the genus, so superstition can't take advantage of it. Tigers eat sheep, but they don't say they are each other's.

Marital disharmony actually exists because of class background, social status, ideological character, gender relations and so on. Arranged marriage intensifies this contradiction and even forms a tragedy. In ancient times, people generally ignored these essential aspects and simply attributed them to destiny. As a result, superstitious professionals skillfully took advantage of the incompatibility of their genus to scare and deceive people and broaden the ways to make money.

If we want to deceive people, we will also imitate those statements and put forward more inconsistencies.

For example, according to the formation method of the six pests, we draw straight lines that do not pass through the center of the circle from tigers and rabbits, Niu Long, rats and snakes, pigs and horses, dogs and sheep, chickens and monkeys, saying that this is another kind of six pests. Why not? By analogy, cow-tiger, mouse-cow, mouse-pig, pig-dog (that is, two adjacent zodiac signs) are a line, and each has four groups of parallel lines. Six groups of parallel strings, thirty-six harms. Among them, rats and cows (ugly children), pigs and tigers (Hai Yin), dogs and rabbits (Mao Mao), chickens and dragons (Youchen), monkeys and snakes (Shensi) and sheep and horses (noon) are exactly the so-called "six in one". Similarly, according to the theory of "three punishments" (that is, every two zodiac signs are connected), four constellations (pig tiger, tiger snake, snake monkey, pig monkey) can be drawn, and so on, there are four groups of sixteen kinds of punishments.

All these contradictions fully prove that "harmony", "conflict", "punishment" and "injury" are artificial fabrications.

The superstition of six evils and three punishments has formed many jingles among the people, which are often quoted as proverbs. There are six kinds of harm to sheep and mice, such as "the sheep and mice stop as soon as they are matched" or "the rats and sheep don't reach their heads". It is harmful to cattle and horses, or "white horses harm green cattle" or "white horses are afraid of green cattle". Another example is "a snake sees a tiger like a knife", "a dragon sees a rabbit in tears", "black pigs are afraid of apes", "chickens and dogs are different" or "chickens and dogs match to marry", all of which are manifestations of six evils. Another example is "black dogs don't enter the sheepfold", which is the so-called dog and sheep punishment in the three punishments.

Throughout the ages, I don't know how many men and women who could have had a happy marriage have been separated by such superstition. There are still many people who believe these statements, especially the elderly. Young men and women who are talking about marriage should explain the relevant truth to the elderly, get rid of superstitions and strengthen their love. If we do some practical investigation from the married men and women around us, we can certainly prove with facts that whether the marriage is harmonious has nothing to do with the zodiac signs of both men and women.
