Interpretation of the Book of Changes on the Zodiac

The zodiac signs of the twelve earthly branches are Zishu, Ugly Cow, Yinhu, Hairy Rabbit, Chen Long, Zaoshe, Wuma, Weiyang, Monkey, Youyou Chicken, Garrison Dog and Hai Pig. According to my research, this set of zodiac signs was handed down from India in the Han Dynasty. At that time, the Twelve Indian Branches were not exactly the same as ours. They were all expressed by cultural abstract symbols and animals, and later became the interpretation of China culture. The son is a mouse with five claws, and the odd number is yang; Ugliness is a cow, because the two hooves of a cow are yin; Yin is a tiger, and because the tiger has five claws; Mao is a rabbit because it has two lips and so on. It is said that this is the case, but "there is no evidence for everything." According to the records in the Collection of Ancient and Modern Books, it is very possible to infer the concept of "28 nights of birds and earth divide into the sky, and 12 years are the beginning of the twelve zodiac signs" from the astrological inscriptions unearthed in the Western Han Dynasty bronzes and tombs in recent years.
