I belong to the dragon, and the fortune teller said that the dragon is a rabbit. Is there such a saying?

In the ignorant and backward feudal society, superstitions filled every corner of people's lives and there were a lot of taboos. Take marriage as an example, there are zodiac taboos. Inside and outside the Great Wall, or in the north and south of the great river, there is a saying: "If you don't teach a white horse to be afraid of a green cow, an ape will exchange tears when he sees a pig, and a snake will encounter a tiger like a knife." A rabbit can't see a dragon for a long time, but a golden rooster won't pick up a dog. Once the sheep and the mouse meet, they will rest. " There is also a succinct sentence: "White horses are afraid of green cows, once sheep and mice rest, snakes and tigers cut like knives, dragons and rabbits exchange tears, golden chickens are afraid of jade dogs, and pigs and monkeys can't touch their heads." In the long feudal society, it was this popular saying that made many young men and women in love separated alive, resulting in a series of marriage tragedies. Even in today's highly developed science, many people will still say, "Don't believe everything, and don't believe it." The taboo superstition of the zodiac casts a shadow over free marriage. The zodiac is the symbol of animals, which is a unique way to remember the year of China's life. The zodiac consists of twelve animals, namely, rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs. These two animals are collocated with twelve earthly branches: Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai, thus forming twelve animal genera, which are called Zi Shu, Ugly Cow, Yin Hu, Mao Rabbit, Chen Long, Si Snake, Wu Ma, Wei Yang and Shen Monkey respectively. The year in which a person was born (lunar year) is the Chinese zodiac. For example,199565438+1October 3 1 to1February 996 18 is the year of the pig, so all the children born here are pigs. There are ten days of work: A, B, C, D, E, G, Xin, Ren and Gui. The cooperation of ten days' work and twelve earthly branches is the traditional chronology in China, and it was not until the Revolution of 1911 that it was changed to the internationally accepted AD chronology. Heavenly stems and earthly branches's cooperation is a 60-year cycle, and 6 1 is the year of Jiazi. So 60 years is a flower. This was originally a dating method, specifically to the genus of pig or mouse, or any other genus, there is no good or bad, and there is no good or bad. But witches, fortune tellers and fortune tellers actually use this to fabricate some lies and deceive some people. Now it seems that the taboo of marriage zodiac is nonsense. But in that era when superstitious activities were rampant, it was an invisible wall that interfered with marriage, and it had great power until the early liberation. Now the old man still remembers it clearly. Similarly, in the feudal society of China, the taboos of the zodiac were not uniform. In some areas, there is a saying that "Long Hudou, the sheep fell into the tiger's mouth". From the theological point of view, Dong Zhongshu, a scholar in Han Dynasty, attached the zodiac to the five elements-wood, fire, earth, gold and water, and then attached the species in the biological world to the zodiac, in an attempt to summarize the extremely complicated phenomena in the survival competition in the biological world with the framework of the five elements. For example, according to what they are attached to, yin is wood, and the corresponding animal is tiger; It belongs to the soil, and the animal suitable for it is the dog; Ugly people also belong to the soil, and the animals suitable for them are cattle and sheep. According to the principle that the five elements win each other, wood can conquer soil, so tigers can subdue cattle and sheep, which later evolved into a superstition that sheep fall into the tiger's mouth. According to this statement, sheep can't marry tigers, otherwise they are mutually exclusive. Practically, it is also convincing that tigers eat cattle, sheep and pigs, but dragons also belong to the earth. Can tigers eat troublesome dragons? It's hard to explain. Rabbits also belong to wood, and wood can overcome soil. Can rabbits eat cows, sheep and pigs? There is water and fire, rats and pigs belong to water, cattle and snakes belong to fire. Can mice and pigs eat cows and snakes? It can be seen how ridiculous it is. There are many opponents to the idea that pigs eat snakes, rats eat cows and tigers eat dragons, not to mention modern science, even ancient feudal society. As early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wang Chong, an outstanding materialist thinker, refuted this in Lun Heng. He pointed out: Confucianism says that noon is a horse, the son is a mouse, the unitary is a chicken and the hair is a rabbit. According to the principle of five elements winning, noon and noon are attached to fire and water respectively, water wins fire, and rats should win horses; Another example is Youmao, which belongs to Jin Mu, Jin Shengmu, and chickens can subdue rabbits; Why can't mice eat horses and chickens eat rabbits? From this point of view, the five elements win each other, and the biological resistance is simply untenable. The zodiac is a conceptual symbol created by people and attached to people. Not all people born in the Year of the Monkey are extremely clever, but those born in the Year of the Sheep are gentle, let alone those born in the Year of the Loong. Of course, the marriage between men and women will never be sheep, mice or cows. In life practice, many couples belonging to the same genus live in harmony, live a happy life, have children and grandchildren, and grow old together. It can be seen that the taboo of the zodiac is pure nonsense!

Therefore, dragons and rabbits are superstitious, and generally speaking, dragons belong to dogs, not rabbits!
