What zodiac doesn't have peacock feathers at home?

People who belong to rabbits had better not hang peacock paintings, because it is said that the descendants of peacocks have eagles, and eagles eat rabbits, so they can't.

The zodiac, also known as the zodiac. It is some ethnic groups in China and East Asia who use the twelve earthly branches and twelve kinds of animals to remember the zodiac. If they were born in the year of Mao, they belong to rabbits. The cycle of the zodiac is 12 years. The zodiac should be based on the beginning of spring of the lunar calendar, and it is widely popular among Asian nationalities and some countries in Eastern Europe and North Africa.

Genus and twelve earthly branches are in one-to-one correspondence, and the ancients used the chronology of earthly branches. Therefore, heavenly stems and earthly branches's combination of the two has produced Sixty Jia Zi, which is naturally combined with the Chinese zodiac. Starting from the Year of the Rat, and so on, the zodiac follows a 12-year cycle, and heavenly stems and earthly branches follows a 60-year cycle. As a result, the title of "Year of the Rat" appeared.

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 the year is cloudy, it is called the year of the tiger. " In addition, the History of the Song Dynasty, The Biography of Tubo, also records that when the Tubo leaders narrate, they take events as a chronology. The so-called "twelve old things belong to the day, the year of the rabbit and 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, it didn't matter if the ugly son was ugly, but rats, cows, tigers and rabbits were spread in China at different ages, so they didn't waste their ears." 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 other kinds of sayings. 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.

Zodiac is counted from beginning of spring, and folk customs are also counted from the first day. However, according to the main branch algorithm, beginning of spring should start. Fortune-telling and other divination will begin in beginning of spring.
