The story of the zodiac monkey

What's the story of the monkey in the zodiac? The monkey is a very dexterous animal, and its actions are agile and quick. Its long and powerful arms stir the soup among the trees, which is even more amazing.

Monkeys are particularly curious, which is both its advantages and disadvantages, so people often use this weakness to design monkeys. Since ancient times, there have been many anecdotes between humans and monkeys. Let's take a look at them with a relaxed mood!

go back on one's word

During the Warring States Period, there was an old man who raised monkeys in the State of Song. He keeps many monkeys in the yard. After a long time, the old man and the monkey can communicate and talk.

The old man gives each monkey four chestnuts every morning. A few years later, the old man's economy became less and less affluent, but the number of monkeys increased. He wanted to change the number of chestnuts from eight to seven every day, so he discussed with the monkeys and said:

"Starting today, I will give you three chestnuts every morning and four chestnuts as usual at night. I wonder if you agree? "

Hearing this, the monkeys all thought that one was missing in the morning. So one by one began to squeak, shout and jump around, as if reluctant.

The old man saw this situation, hurriedly changed to say:

"Then I'll give you four in the morning and three in the evening. Is that all right? "

Hearing this, the monkeys thought that Xiaomi had changed from three o'clock in the morning to four o'clock, and rolled happily on the ground as before.

The ancestors of monkeys

A long time ago, there was a kind girl named Aqiao. . Because of her poor family, she was sent to a rich family as a young woman when she was very young.

One day, when Aqiao went to the backyard garden to water vegetables, suddenly, a beggar appeared behind him, dressed in rags, dirty and stinking.

"This kind girl, I haven't eaten for several days. Please give me something to eat! " Beggars beg Aqiao. Aqiao saw that the beggar was so pitiful that she secretly left half of her lunch to the beggar. The beggar left with great gratitude.

The next day, when Aqiao was washing clothes, the beggar appeared again. Aqiao was about to get some food for the beggar when the hostess saw her. She shouted to Aqiao:

"Aqiao, what are you doing? Go and do the laundry. "

Aqiao had to go back to wash clothes. When the hostess saw the beggar, she pushed him out of the door and scolded him while pushing.

"You smelly beggar, get out. There is nothing you can eat here. Get out. "

The beggar was suddenly pushed out of the door Aqiao was very sad to see this situation, so she secretly took something while the hostess was not looking and gave it to the beggar who fell by the door. The beggar was very moved and kept saying to Aqiao:

"Thank you, your heart is really good, and good people are rewarded."

Beggars eat three times, eat their feet, and say to Aqiao:

"Good girl, just be a good man and help me squeeze the pus out of my foot bag. I have been in pain for several days. "

Kind Aqiao didn't say a word: he squeezed the pus out of the beggar's feet. The pus splashed all over Aqiao's face, but Aqiao never touched it. Instead, he asked the beggar:

"Much better now?"

"Much better, much better, girl, thank you." The beggar finished speaking and walked away with a smile.

After the beggar left, Aqiao washed his hands, feet and face by the sink. When she entered the room, the hostess looked at her in surprise and asked:

"Who are you? Why are you wearing Aqiao's clothes? "

It turns out that Aqiao has become a beautiful woman as beautiful as flowers and pure as jade! The hostess was envious and asked Aqiao why. Aqiao told the hostess that she had found a beggar and not only invited him to dinner, but also helped him squeeze the pustules on his feet. As a result, the hostess not only did not become more beautiful than before, but became uglier than before. In addition, she has hair on her face and body, like a wild animal. The hostess was in tears, and the beggar took a hot tile and said to her:

"If you want to pluck monkey hair, sit on this tile!"

Hearing this, the hostess quickly sat down on the tile. Who knows that instead of losing her hair, it burned red and she cried with pain.

From now on ... >>

A long time ago, one day, people said, "We want to choose twelve animals as the human zodiac, one animal a year." How many kinds of animals are there in the world? How to choose? Tell you what, set a date. On this day, when animals come to sign up, they will choose the first twelve animals as the zodiac.

Cats and mice are neighbors and good friends. They all want to sign up. The cat said, "we have to get up early to register, but I like to sleep late." What should I do? " The mouse said, "Don't worry, don't worry. You can sleep deeply. I'll call you as soon as I wake up. Let's go together. " The cat was very happy and said, "You are really my good friend, thank you."

By the morning of registration, the mouse was awake, but it only thought about its own business and forgot its good friend's cat. I signed up myself.

As a result, I chose the mouse. Where is the cat? The cat got up too late because it went to bed late. When it arrived, twelve animals had been selected.

If the cat is not selected, it will be angry with the mouse, blaming the mouse for not calling it. Since then, cats will eat mice when they see them, and the mice have to run away desperately.

It's still like this.

Do you know which constellation?

They are rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs.

How to make the mouse rank first? Here's another story.

On the day of registration, the mouse got up early and the cow got up early. They met on the road. Cows take big strides, mice take small steps. The mouse was out of breath and barely kept up with the cow. The mouse thought, the road is still far, and I can't run fast. what can I do? He used his head and came up with an idea. He said to the cow, "Niu Ge, I'll sing you a song." The cow said, "OK, you sing-hey, why don't you sing?" The mouse said, "I am singing." Why didn't you hear me? " Oh, my voice was too low for you to hear. Tell you what, let me ride around your neck and sing, and you will hear me. "The cow said," good, good! "The mouse climbed up the cow's neck along the cow's leg, so the cow was comfortable carrying it. It bobbed to sing:

Niu Ge, Niu Ge, cross the river, climb the hillside, drive, drive, hurry up! Niu Yi was very happy to hear that. He spread his legs and ran as fast as he could. He ran to the place where he signed up. No one came. He wept with joy: "I am the first, I am the first!" " Before the cow finished speaking, the mouse jumped down from the cow's neck, jumped to the ground, squeaked and jumped in front of the cow. As a result, the mouse won the first place and the cow won the second place. So in the zodiac, the little mouse ranks first.

The Story of the Zodiac II

How to choose the zodiac is a topic handed down from ancient times. Legend has it that one year, when the Jade Emperor celebrated his birthday, he ordered all the animals to come to celebrate his birthday on the ninth day of the first month, and decided to choose 12 kinds of animals to celebrate his birthday in the order of reporting, as the guards in heaven, and take turns to be on duty every year.

According to legend, mice and cats were neighbors at that time, but big cats often bullied weak mice, and mice often just got angry with cats and dared not speak. This cat has a problem with sleepiness. After receiving the jade emperor's order, the mouse secretly rejoiced that the opportunity to retaliate against the cat had finally come. Sure enough, the cat knocked on the door of the mouse's house and asked the mouse to wake him up for the jade emperor's birthday. The mouse readily agreed. In order to get back at the cat, the mouse set off quietly in the early morning of the ninth day of the first month.

Although the mouse got up early and ran fast, it was worried when it reached the wide river facing Taotao River, so it had to sit by the river and wait for other animals to cross the river, jump on their backs and cross the river with their help. After waiting for a long time, the earliest Niu Yi walked silently to the river. At the moment the cow swam into the water, the mouse jumped into the cow's ear. Cows are usually known for their simplicity and helpfulness, so they don't care about mice's guesses. After crossing the river, the mouse felt comfortable and labor-saving lying in the cow's ear. It didn't mean to jump. Near noon, the cow carried the mouse outside the Jade Emperor's mansion.

When Niu Gang wanted to enter the door, the mouse jumped out of the cow's ear and jumped to the jade emperor first. In this way, the mouse finally won the first place. And the cow that carried it all the way won the second place. Later, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens and dogs also came one after another. Although the pig is stupid, it still arrived on time, ranking twelfth. The Jade Emperor awarded them as annual rotation students according to the order of their registration, thus determining the order of the zodiac.

The story of the monkey becoming the zodiac is very short. It is said that in the early days, the tiger became the king of all animals with the reputation of making animals in the town. When all the animals in the mountain saw the tiger, they immediately dodged. Of course, tigers are proud and lonely. At that time, monkeys and tigers were neighbors. They were very close. Later, the monkey almost became the tiger's right-hand man. When the tiger king goes out, the monkey acts as the mountain commander. All animals are not afraid of the power of the tiger king, but only listen to the call of the monkey. This is the origin of "there is no tiger in the mountain, and the monkey is called the king".

One day, King Tiger unfortunately fell into the hunter's net and struggled to break free. Just as the monkey came, King Tiger shouted for help. When the monkey saw this, he quickly climbed up the tree, untied the hunter's net rope and rescued the tiger king. After King Tiger escaped from danger, although he kept thanking Brother Monkey, he was thinking in his heart: I am the king of beasts, trapped by hunters, and I need a little monkey to save me. If this matter gets out, it won't ruin my prestige. It's better to kill the monkey. But on second thought, I am alone now. If I kill the monkey again, I won't even have friends in the future. Who will help me if there is any danger again? Moreover, the monkey is afraid of me and never dares to say anything about today.

So the tiger told the monkey that he saved his life today and would be rewarded in the future. If the monkey has any difficulties in the future, he will try his best to repay it. The monkey, of course, kept silent about King Tiger's embarrassment to save his face. After that, the relationship between the two was even more unusual.

Many years later, the jade emperor began to choose the zodiac. As the king of beasts, the tiger naturally becomes the zodiac. The monkey saw it and wanted to be a zodiac, but the jade emperor had a principle when choosing the zodiac, and that was to contribute to mankind. Monkeys are useless to humans, so you can't choose them. So the monkey asked the tiger king to plead with the jade emperor and make him a zodiac. Because King Tiger owed the monkey a debt of gratitude, he had to do his best to intercede for the monkey, telling the Jade Emperor that the monkey was clever and resourceful, ranking first among all animals, and that the monkey had also contributed to the town when he was away. Therefore, the Jade Emperor decreed that monkeys should be included in the zodiac.

The monkey became the zodiac, and the tiger king returned the favor to the monkey. Of course, King Tiger is still unhappy. The incompetent monkey was listed as the human zodiac with himself, and their friendship was cut off from now on. Today, all animals are naturally not afraid of monkeys. Of course, the truth that "there is no tiger in the mountain, and the monkey is king" has become a kind of irony today.

At 3-5 pm (that is, "God Ten"), monkeys like to crow the longest and loudest at this time, so God Ten belongs to monkeys.

The story of the zodiac (monkey) is 70 words. It is said that the tiger became the king of Zeng in the early days and has the reputation of being a beast in the mountains. When all the animals in the mountain saw the tiger, they immediately dodged. Of course, tigers are proud and lonely. At that time, monkeys and tigers were neighbors. They called each other brothers. When the tiger king goes out, the monkey acts as the mountain commander. All the animals were awed by the power of the tiger king and only listened to the call of the lion. This is the origin of "there is no tiger in the mountain, and the monkey is called the king".

One day, King Tiger unfortunately fell into the hunter's net and struggled hard. Just as the monkey came, King Tiger shouted for help. When the monkey saw this, he quickly climbed up the tree, untied the hunter's net rope and rescued the tiger king.

After King Tiger escaped from danger, although he kept thanking Brother Monkey, he thought in his heart: I am the king of beasts. I was trapped by a hunter, but I was rescued by a little monkey. If the monkey publicizes this matter, I might as well kill the monkey, but on second thought, I am alone now. If I kill the monkey again, I won't even have friends in the future. Who will help me if there is any danger again? Besides, the monkey is afraid of me and will never tell me what happened today.

So the tiger told the monkey that he saved his life today and would be rewarded in the future. In the future, if the monkey has something difficult, he must pay it back with all his strength. The monkey, in order to save face, of course, kept silent about the embarrassment of King Tiger. After that, the relationship between them was even more unusual.

Many years later, the jade emperor began to choose the zodiac. As the king of beasts, the tiger naturally becomes the zodiac. The monkey saw it and wanted to be a zodiac. However, the jade emperor has a principle in choosing the zodiac, and that is to contribute to mankind. Monkeys are useless to humans, so you can't choose them. So the monkey asked the tiger king to plead with the jade emperor and let him be the zodiac. Because King Tiger owed the monkey a debt of gratitude, he had to do his best to intercede for the monkey. He told the Jade Emperor that the Monkey League was resourceful and was the first of all animals. During his absence, monkeys also contributed to the town. Therefore, the Jade Emperor issued a decree to include monkeys in the zodiac.

The monkey became the zodiac, and the tiger king returned the favor to the monkey. Of course, King Tiger is still unhappy. The incompetent monkey was listed as the human zodiac with himself, and their friendship was cut off from now on. Today, all animals are not afraid of monkeys. Of course, the truth that "there is no tiger in the mountain, and the monkey is king" has become ironic today.

My zodiac story, Monkey Monkey, and I ranked ninth in the 12 zodiac, which belongs to Shenshi. Therefore, every day at 12 o'clock-from 3 pm to the punctuality, it is also called "monkey time". It is said that in the early days, the tiger became the king of all animals with the power of town animals.

Monkeys are the closest animals to humans in nature and belong to the tallest primate among mammals. Make human beings have a special affinity for monkeys. The lightness and wisdom of monkeys are really pleasing. Since The Journey to the West, a classical fairy tale, came out, the Monkey King, who is optimistic and heroic, has fully publicized the cultural significance carried by monkeys and greatly enriched the expressive force of Chinese.

The ancient book "White Tiger Pass" said: Monkey, waiting for you. It is said that monkeys climb high when they see people setting traps, look around and be good at observing and waiting, hence the name. The ancients also thought that monkeys were hieroglyphics, and the word "monkey" in Shuowen was like a female monkey.

The story of the zodiac monkey

In the Chronology of Branches and Branches, which has been circulated for more than 2,200 years, monkeys are matched with Shen. Some researchers believe that the word "God" is like the opposite shape of two female monkeys at the beginning of creation. According to this statement, the two words "Shen" and "Monkey" have a relationship from the beginning of word creation, right? Only the old man who created words knows.

According to Mr. Guo Moruo's textual research, it can be inferred that monkeys were once regarded as primitive totems from the mythical figure Di Ku (Kuku) as the monkey of the beast qí qi (Qi State). He further believes that monkeys will be the totem of Yin people at first. Yin people think that their tribe's "great grandfather" is a monkey, but this coincides with the viewpoint of evolution.

Most people in China don't know that monkeys used to be totems, but they always regard monkeys as mascots. The auspiciousness of a monkey lies in its homonym with "monkey".

Hou is an ancient title. According to the Book of Rites, King Lu Jue is a man, a Hou, a Bo, a son and a man. The ancients hoped to be promoted and sealed, and monkeys became mascots symbolizing promotion. To this end, people have also created many auspicious patterns. For example, a monkey riding a horse is immediately sealed, a golden seal is hung on the monkey's back on a tree, and a mother monkey carries a baby monkey on her back. These patterns are common on the screens and walls of ancient officials, as well as on paintings, stationery, utensils and jade carvings.

According to ancient records, the horse owner can keep a monkey (Lao Ji) in the stable to prevent the horse from getting sick. In the past, Hong merchants on the southwest plateau of China often took a monkey with them when driving away long-distance trafficking caravans. It is said that monkeys are very sensitive to diseases of mules and horses, and can often help people find sick horses and prevent the spread of plague. Let the monkeys smell it before checking into the hotel. Only when there is no epidemic can they release their horses. As a result, there is a saying among the people that monkeys can avoid horse plague, so the monkeys got the nickname of "avoiding horse plague". Emperor Zhongyu in The Journey to the West named the monkey king "Bi" and took the homonym of "avoiding horse plague" to put the monkey king in charge of Tianma, which should be said to be a "professional counterpart". As for me, it's another matter that the salary at the department level is too low, but it's true that monkeys are mascots to prevent plague.

Peinan people of Gaoshan nationality in Taiwan Province Province have a "monkey year and horse month", which is a traditional ceremony for boys when they are 12 or 13 years old. It is usually held after the early rice harvest in 1 1 month. A monkey will be sacrificed at the ceremony to cultivate the martial spirit of young people. The Buyi people in Libo and Dushan in Guizhou Province have a "Monkey Festival". On the second day of the second lunar month, people flocked to the top of the mountain to sing and revel with the "Xiangtengba" prepared before the festival. Children are jumping around the mountain like mountain monkeys, and Shan Ye is boiling. Women should dry and select seeds, and men should overhaul farm tools. After the Year of the Monkey, they will go to the fields to do farm work, so the Year of the Monkey is also called "the day of breaking ground".

One morning, the sky was particularly clear, and the little rabbit was about to come out and find a new friend to play with. She saw something like a stone and took it for a football. She kicked it. Ouch! Little rabbit's foot is hurt. The stone stuck its head out. It turned out to be a little turtle. The little rabbit asked the little turtle, "Do you want to make friends with me?" The little turtle said, "Yes, I really want to make friends with you!" " "They are very happy together.

After eating at noon, the little turtle shrank its head into its shell and fell asleep. At this time, the shark devil took several buckets of paint and painted the shell of the little turtle.

In the afternoon, the little turtle and the little rabbit went to play. Little Nutbrown hare looked surprised and said, "Have you changed your clothes?" The little turtle said, "I didn't change it!" " Little Nutbrown hare said, "Go home and look in the mirror." . "When the little turtle took pictures at home, he found himself painted with a lot of paint. He thinks this must be the shark devil. Little turtle asked his mother to bathe him.

There is a myth about the origin of the zodiac:

It is said that the Jade Emperor wanted to select 12 kinds of animals as representatives, and then sent immortals to tell the animals about it, and set a time to come to the Tiangong in Maoli during the reign of Taizu. The sooner he came, the more he swallowed it, but the later one could not. At that time, cats and mice were still good friends. The cat loves to sleep, but he also wants to be chosen, so he asks the mouse to call him. But the mouse forgot as soon as it turned its head. The mouse went to the old cow and said that he got up early and ran fast, so the cow could take him. The old cow agreed

At that time, dragons had no horns and chickens had horns. The dragon told the chicken that the chicken was already very beautiful and didn't need horns, so he let the chicken lend it to him. The chicken was very happy when he heard the flattery of the dragon, so he lent his horn to the dragon and told him to pay back the money on time after the election. Long readily agreed.

In the year of Mao Mao, Uzuki, when the cat was still sleeping, many animals rushed to the Heavenly Palace.

The mouse sits on the cow's back. After reaching heaven, the mouse jumped up. The Jade Emperor said that the mice arrived first, which made them the first. Old steak is second; The tiger also arrived late, ranking third; The rabbit also arrived, ranking fourth; The dragon came late, but he was very big. The Jade Emperor saw him at a glance. Seeing that he was so beautiful, he ranked fifth. He also said that his son ranked sixth, but Long was disappointed because his son didn't come today. At this time, the snake at the back ran over and said, "He * * * Dad, I'm in the sixth place! I am ranked sixth! " Snakes rank sixth; Horses and sheep have arrived, too. They asked me to ask you: Brother Ma first, Brother Yang first, and they pushed them around. Seeing that they were so polite, the Jade Emperor let them rank seventh and eighth. The monkey was in his thirties, but he jumped ahead with the clouds in the sky because he could jump, ranking ninth; Then chickens, dogs and pigs were also selected.

The cat didn't wake up until the end of the game, and the mouse was chased all over the world as soon as he got home. ...

After the game, the dragon came to the seaside and saw that he had horns much more beautiful than before, so he didn't plan to return the chicken. In order to avoid the chicken, he disappeared from the world. The chicken was very angry, so he got up early every morning and shouted at the sea: Give it back quickly! Give it back! The hen shouted, give him back quickly! Give him back to me! The chicken also crows: Come back! And!

With regard to the origin of the zodiac, historical records show that China began to use the "chronology of branches and leaves" which combines the ten heavenly stems with the twelve earthly branches from the Shun Di era. The method of zoological chronology originated from nomadic people in the west and north of ancient China. The Book of the Tang Dynasty records: "The Year of the Tiger is bounded by twelve events. If the year is cloudy, it is called the year of the tiger. " Zhao Yi, a famous textual research scholar in the Qing Dynasty, made a textual research in Yu Yu Congkao: "In the early days, the custom of benefiting the north was childless, ugly, yin and hairy, but when rats, cows, tigers and rabbits were divided into years, by the end of the Han Dynasty, it was said that (Khan) money lived in Wuyuan, mixed with Qi people, and spread in China, so it was not abandoned.

The zodiac was first seen in The Book of Songs, the world's first collection of poems. The Book of Songs? Xiaoya? "Car Attack" said: "Today is the auspicious day of the ecliptic, and it is noon. I am short of horses. "See also the Book of Rites? Monthly order? Ji Dong: "Digging cows to send cold. "When did the zodiac theory come into being? There is a historical cloud: it should be formed in the Han Dynasty at the latest. Is it based on Wang Chong's Lun Heng? The article "Things Potential" says: "Yin, wood, birds and tigers. Hey, Tuye, its birds and dogs are also. " Another cloud said, "Good afternoon, Ma Ye. Son, mouse also. Unitary, chicken also. ..... Shen, Qitian also. "A total of 1 1 names of the Chinese zodiac were put forward. In addition, in the Spring and Autumn Annals of Wu Yue written by Zhao Ye in the Eastern Han Dynasty, "Wu Zaichen is a dragon. "Just added' Chen Long', and completed the zodiac. It can be seen that the twelve zodiac signs were formed in the Eastern Han Dynasty. As for the use of the Chinese zodiac, it appeared at least in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The Biography of Northern History Yuwen Hu records a letter written to him by Yuwen Hu's mother, which reads: "Your brother was born in Wuchuan Town, the eldest is a mouse, the second is a rabbit, and you are a snake. "It can be seen that the Chinese zodiac was widely used by the people at that time to record the date of birth.

However, in the mid-1970s, from 1975 to 12, thousands of bamboo slips were found in the cultural relics unearthed from Qin TombNo. 1 1 in Yunmeng, Hubei Province. Among them, sunrise? The thief clearly recorded the words used to predict the thief's appearance characteristics in the zodiac. The appearance of this miracle proves that the Chinese zodiac has been used in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Because Qin Tomb No.11 was built in the thirty years of the first emperor, that is, 2 17 BC. Some people say that long before Qin Shihuang proclaimed himself emperor, our ancestors used the zodiac to record the year, and especially pointed out that "it began in summer and spread in Shang and Zhou Dynasties." But how to quote it remains to be understood by historians and cultural relics scholars ... >>
