Is it superstition to belong to each other? Genus complement each other and complement each other.

The zodiac has nothing to do with science, neither science nor.

Zodiac is a kind of culture, which was handed down from China.

If someone insists on linking this culture with science, that's it. Others use the zodiac to tell lies and even kill people for money. It is not just a problem, but a problem of using harm to others and breaking the criminal law.

As a cultural number with a long history, the zodiac has obvious.

Since ancient times, some scholars have left a lot of stories describing the zodiac, and also created a lot of poems, couplets, calligraphy and paintings, handicrafts and so on symbolizing the zodiac. Some will also send hair-shaped zodiac stamps to express New Year's wishes.

Of course, most poems are not necessarily related to the zodiac, because the zodiac almost includes animals that people are familiar with, and poetry is nothing more than writing about these animals.

For example:

Master mouse, don't eat my millet.

The sky is gray and wild. See cattle and sheep when the wind blows.

Looking back, how powerful he was when he led the Northern Expedition and recovered lost ground!

The ancient road is sparse, the sun sets, and heartbroken people are in the end of the world.

If Wei Qing, who attacked Longcheng, and Li Guang, the flying general, were alive today, the Huns would not be allowed to go south to spend their horses in Yinshan.

There are animals such as rats, cows, sheep, tigers, horses and dragons in these poems, which exist in people's lives. Must it mean the zodiac?

In the history and culture of China, the record of the zodiac has a long history, and it has gradually moved from fragmentation to completeness.

For example, there is a saying in The Book of Songs Xiaoya: "It will be noon on an auspicious day, that is, it is not as good as my horse", which reflects the relative noon horse.

Of course, whether this is today's afternoon horse is still controversial. Some scholars have pointed out that "noon" in Qin bamboo slips corresponds to "deer" rather than "horse", which is purely coincidental.

197565438+February, two batches of Qin bamboo slips were unearthed in Yunmeng Sleeping Tiger Land, Hubei Province, and the contents are as follows. Among them, a "thief" said:

"Son, mouse, thief's pointed mouth, sparse beard, ... ugly, cow, thief with big nose and long neck, ... yin, tiger, thief, beard and black face. Hair, rabbits, thieves are big. Chen, the thief is a man, green and red ... Third, the worm is also black. At noon, the deer is also a thief with a long neck and a small cut. ..... No, horse, thieves have ears. Shen, Huan, thief circle ... you, water is ... hey, old sheep is ... sea, hey. "

These narratives are basically the same as the modern Chinese zodiac, but among them, there are no Chinese zodiac in the morning, deer in the afternoon, horses in the afternoon and old sheep in the afternoon, which is different from modern times.

However, in April of 1986, there were two kinds of bamboo slips unearthed in Fangmatan, Tianshui, Gansu Province, A and B, and there were no sheep in the afternoon. This kind of cultural relic is similar to sleeping tiger land, so the saying of "noon horse" in Qin bamboo slips is not groundless.

Bamboo slips "thief" records:

Son, mouse. Ugly, awesome. Yin, tiger. Mao, rabbit. Chen, an insect. Third, the chicken is gone. At noon, the horse disappeared. No, sheep. Shen, monkey. You, coward. Hey, dog. Oh, my God.

This record is basically the same as it is now, but it is different from modern times.

Archaeological findings, the earliest complete record of the zodiac, and now basically the same is the record in Wang Chong's Lun Heng in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The quotation is as follows:

In the "material potential", some people say:

Yin wood also, its bird tiger also; It is also soil, and its birds and dogs are also; Ugliness is dirt, ugly birds and cows, no birds and sheep. Wood beats earth, so dogs, cattle and sheep are served by tigers. Hai Shui also, its bird also; Where there is fire, its birds and snakes are also; Children are water, so are their birds and mice; It is also a fire at noon, and its birds and horses are also ... horses, rats, chickens and rabbits at noon. Water is better than fire. Why don't mice chase horses? Jin Shengmu, why don't chickens peck rabbits? Hai Jian, no sheep, ugly cow. Soil is better than water, why don't cattle and sheep kill jackals? The fourth snake is also a monkey. Fire wins gold, why don't snakes eat macaques?

With the book article 23 "Yan" has a cloud:

Chen is a dragon and turned into a snake, in the southeast. Dragons have thorns, so snakes have teeth and dragons have scales. Wood makes a fire, and fire makes a fire, so the beast of the black dragon contains Mars.

From the archaeological records of the zodiac above, we can see that the culture of the zodiac in China is gradually enriched from sporadic.

Moreover, it can be seen from these records that the animals used in the zodiac are closely related to human beings, and the appearance of the zodiac reflects human observation and understanding of nature and work and rest.

In ancient times, the daily time was 12 hours, and the zodiac was exactly the same as 12 hours. Every day until midnight 1 is the beginning of the day. The house mouse is used to nocturnal activities, especially in the middle of the night. It can be regarded as the earliest animal in a day, so it is a mouse. Cattle was the most dependent labor force in ancient times, and it would be ugly if it was dried early.

The latter animals are also related to human understanding and time of animals. Of course, this is just a personal understanding. It has not been carefully studied and does not need everyone's approval. It is just an inspiration.

In the Qing Dynasty, a man named Liu Xianyan wrote an article Miscellaneous Notes, quoting some explanations of the 12 zodiac in Matsushita Guanyu, and transcribing it as follows:

Why do children belong to mice? Yue: Born in the child, it will not open until it dies. Rats eat insects. Therefore, in night is still young, positive mice have to wait, so children belong to mice. The ground is ugly, and the cow opens the ground, so ugliness belongs to the cow. If born in yin, if born, kill. Tiger, tiger, and yin, fear. If you are awesome, you are a tiger, then Yin is a tiger. At the end of the day, the sun rises. In vitro, it contains the essence of Taiyin Jade Rabbit, so it is a rabbit. The morning of divination in March is when the dragon rains, so the morning belongs to the dragon. The last person, divination in April, was lush and the snake was in its place. Also, when a snake is not on the road, it is a snake. At noon, the sun is born, and the sun is born. Horses are healthy, never leave the ground, and belong to the shade, so they belong to horses in the afternoon. The reason why a sheep is not a sheep is that it has sprouted after eating untimely grass. When applying, the ape cries at sunset, and the arm is also applied. By analogy, chaos runs rampant, so the application belongs to monkeys. Unitary, the moon comes out, the moon is the body, containing the essence of the sun golden rooster, so it belongs to the chicken. When it is night, the dog is night, so it is a dog. The sea, the earth on earth, if all fruits are business-oriented, and pigs know nothing but food, then they are pigs.

Readers can also judge whether this explanation is completely reasonable.

Generally speaking, judging from the development process of the zodiac, it was originally a simple explanation of nature by human beings, and then it gradually became a bit stale.

If we gradually add some fantastic colors, and then explain them in combination with heavenly stems and earthly branches, Theory and Astrology in China culture, we will have more and more colors of China philosophy and culture and more and more elements.

For example, some people use the 12 zodiac to tell fortune, get married, and so on, which echoes the life of foreign constellations from a distance, which is sheer nonsense.

In the real world, many people are born at the same time every day, even every hour. Do all these people have "destiny"?

Moreover, almost all fortune tellers are at the bottom, and some have accumulated huge wealth by deceiving people, just pretending to be noble.

These people don't even know what their lives will be like. How can it be counted as others?

For example, it was all the rage a few years ago, attracting many celebrities and bosses. Wang Xing, a teacher, recognized his father and died in prison.

Therefore, for the zodiac culture, we can only look at it with a happy game mentality and add some fun to life. There is no need to struggle too much, otherwise it will only add troubles to our lives and even lead to disaster.

Only by living scientifically can we be happy.
