What's the story of the zodiac chicken?

In the ancient city, there was a rich man who had a zodiac chicken. He had nothing to do, so he invited a fortune teller to tell his fortune. As a result, the fortune teller said that his life was bad and he was a "chicken chops". The rich are a little unhappy, so they say that the fortune teller is not accurate, and how can he live a bad life after eating and drinking enough?

The fortune teller explained that it was because the rich people lived in good places, and there were chicken harrows everywhere in Gucheng, so they naturally had no worries about food and clothing. Moreover, the rich are in their prime of life, and with the help of nobles, they make the best use of the right time, place and people.

The fortune teller told the rich not to move out of the ancient city, otherwise it would break the fortune of either rich or expensive. The rich did not believe in evil, and the whole family moved out of Gucheng within two years. As a result, the family was down and out within a few years.

The origin of the zodiac is related to animal worship. According to the Qin bamboo slips unearthed in Yunmeng Shuihudi, Hubei Province and Fangmatan, Tianshui, Gansu Province, there was a relatively complete zodiac system in the pre-Qin period. The earliest handed down document that recorded the same Chinese zodiac as the modern one was Lun Heng written by Wang Chong in the Eastern Han Dynasty. ? [ 1]?

The zodiac is an intuitive representation of the twelve earthly branches, namely, Zi (mouse), Ugly (ox), Yin (tiger), Mao (rabbit), Chen (dragon), Si (snake), Wu (horse), Wei (sheep), Shen (monkey), You (chicken) and Xu (chicken).

In this way, a concept interpretation system has been formed, which has become an image philosophy in folk culture, such as the zodiac in marriage, the blessing in temple fairs, the animal year and so on. In modern times, more people regard the zodiac as the mascot of the Spring Festival and become a symbol of entertainment and cultural activities.
