Zodiac shunkouliu kindergarten

Mouse 1, cow 2, tiger 3, rabbit 4, dragon 5, snake 6, horse 7, sheep 8, monkey 9, chicken 10, dog1,pig 12.

The above twelve zodiac signs, just twelve words, are recited repeatedly. It won't be long before I remember the order of the zodiac clearly. On this basis, if you are interested, you have to make clear the rules before you can remember the order of the zodiac. Then I'll tell you, it took more time, but you can't remember clearly. Zodiac culture is a common folk culture in China, and it is also something that children need to remember since childhood. The following is the formula for reciting the order of the zodiac for children to recite:

The zodiac order in China is jingle.

The mouse walked in front and followed the bull.

The tiger growled and the rabbit trembled three times.

Now that the dragon is upstream of the sky, the snake is winding on the ground.

The pony crossed the ravine, met the sheep and nodded.

The monkey somersaults, and the penis calls for refueling.

The yellow dog looks after the house, but the fat pig doesn't get enough sleep.

The origin of the zodiac

So how did the ranking of the zodiac come from? I checked online, and there are many folk stories about the zodiac, as well as various legends of the zodiac to explain the reasons for the order of the zodiac, why the mouse comes first, the cow comes second and so on. I'm telling you here, it's all nonsense, just for children, just as a story. In the final analysis, the order of the zodiac is closely related to the twelve earthly branches, and the zodiac is a derivative of the twelve earthly branches. Therefore, in order to understand the order of the zodiac, we must start from the twelve earthly branches.

Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai.

These twelve characters, which are pictographs (different from hieroglyphics), are equivalent to twelve pictures, explaining the twelve processes of things from birth to death, which can represent both twelve cycles of time and twelve rotations of space.

In terms of twelve hours a day, Zishi is the time that ends the day before and starts the next day, and so on, and every day starts from Zishi. In terms of space, the child is due north, representing the North Pole, that is, the pole of space, also representing the first place, and so on. In terms of months, the second month is the winter solstice, that is, when the yin reaches its peak and the yang begins to rise, the winter solstice is the shortest day of the year, so in terms of seasons and climate, the second month is the first order. This is very clear, so I understand the order of the twelve earthly branches, and I can understand the order of the twelve zodiac signs by corresponding them one by one.

Then why are the zodiac and the twelve earthly branches hooked together? Let's put it this way, you may be a little ignorant when I talked about the Twelve Earthly Branches, but in ancient times, few people could read them, let alone understand what the Twelve Earthly Branches meant, and the Twelve Earthly Branches were commonly used in ancient times and could not be separated, so ancient intellectuals came up with a way to use twelve common animals to correspond to the Twelve Earthly Branches, just like when we were young, which made it easy for ordinary people to understand and remember. For example, if I say that you were born in the Year of the Rat, you may be at a loss. So I said you were born in the year of the rat, is that clear? Because the son corresponds to the mouse, it is called the son mouse, so the origin of the zodiac is like this. The order of the zodiac is the order of the twelve earthly branches. It is meaningless to talk about the order of the zodiac without the twelve earthly branches. The zodiac signs correspond to the twelve earthly branches as follows:

Rats, ugly cows, silver tigers, hairy rabbits, dragons, snakes, afternoon horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs.

In fact, the order of the zodiac, memorized by heart, only plays a memory role, knowing how the zodiac cycles in turn every year, but in zodiac fortune telling, which zodiac is the first, which zodiac is the second, and what order is the zodiac, has nothing to do with the fate of the zodiac.
