The zodiac represents a historical figure. Of the two zodiac animals, only the dragon is a non-existent animal, and the origin of the dragon surname is also related to a myth and legend. Legend has it that there was a dragon tamer named Dongfu in the Yellow Emperor's period, who was famous for being good at raising and taming dragons. He was given the surname of Zilong by the Yellow Emperor, so one of his descendants took his occupation as the surname and began to name the dragon.

The reporter found that there are two sources of the surname of the sheep: in the Zhou Dynasty, the sheep had an official position, and its grandson took the official position as the surname, so it was the surname of the sheep; Originally from the Qi family, it was home. During the Spring and Autumn Period, after Qi Ying, a doctor of the State of Jin, he was first sealed in Yang She (now Hongdong and Mixian), then the Yang She family and then the Yang She family.

The other ten zodiac signs are also surnames.

The reporter checked the information and found that the zodiac animals such as rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs are all surnames, and their origins are very old.

Rat surnames come from two sources. Derived from the surname Zi, from the mouse family in the late Shang and early Zhou Dynasties, belonging to a family named after religious totem symbols; Originated from the Turks, it belongs to the Chinese name of Nishi tribe, a Ashina rat, which belongs to the west Turkic tribe in the Tang Dynasty. Now it is mainly distributed in Guizhou and Yunnan.

Niu surname comes from children's surname. In the late Western Zhou Dynasty, Niu Fu, the doctor of Duke Song, died in the battle with the nomadic Chang Di people. Later generations took it as the surname and called it Niu's.

Tiger surname originated from Ji surname and descended from Bohu, one of the "Eight Yuan" in ancient times. Originated from the Hui nationality, it belongs to sinicization and changed its surname to surname; Originated from the Hui nationality, Hu Wei, a general of the Hui nationality in the Tang Dynasty, is an official title. Tiger surname is relatively rare in modern times, and only Yunnan, Guichuan and other places exist among Hui people in China.

The origin of rabbit surname is unknown, and it is found in Taiwan Province Province and other places.

Snake surname originated from Jiang surname after Qiu. In other words, the snake surname is a branch of Zhang surname. During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, a family named Zhang went to Nanling and changed its name to snake.

Ma's surname comes from three sources. During the Warring States Period, Wang Zhao's son, Zhao She, was named the father of the horse by Zhao Huiwen because of his outstanding military exploits. His descendants first took the word "Ma Fu" as their surname, and later changed it to Ma Fu; Because his surname was changed to Ma, for example, in the Han Dynasty, there was a Han Gong whose original surname was Ma Ya, and later his surname was Ma; Change your surname to another family.

The monkey's surname comes from Shi Huang's surname, which is a group with Shi Huang's surname. The word is awkward, and then it is Shi. Hou Shi has many origins: from surname; Directly from the Yellow Emperor to the descendants of XuanYuanJi; During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, ethnic minorities changed their compound surnames to Hou surnames. A Manchu family changed its surname and so on.

Chicken surname originated from Xi surname. Chicken surname was originally listed as one of the four "indigenous" surnames in Foshan, Guangdong, and there are more than 300 people surnamed chicken in dongxing city, Guangxi.

Dog surname, there was a famous dog Weiyang in the Han Dynasty, which was very rare after the Southern Song Dynasty. It is rare now.

There were many pig surnames in ancient times. The origin of this surname comes from the word "home" of the family. Above the "home" is the hijab, which means the roof. At the bottom is the word tapir, which means pig. The so-called pigs are not one family. The surname "pig" takes the auspicious meaning of "a pig is married".

How can there be a zodiac? What does the zodiac stand for? There are many theories about the origin of the Chinese zodiac culture. The popular saying is that Xuanyuan Huangdi will choose twelve kinds of animals as court guards. The cat asked the mouse to sign up, but the mouse forgot. As a result, cats had no choice. They became enemies with mice. The elephant also signed up, and the mouse got into the elephant's nose and drove it away. Among the other 12 animals, the cow was recommended as the first, and the mouse jumped on the back of the cow, followed by the pig. As a result, rats ranked first and pork chops ranked last. Dragon and tiger refused to accept it, and were called the king and king of the hill in the sea, ranking behind rats and cows. The rabbit refused to accept it and raced with the dragon. As a result, the rabbit came to the dragon again. The dog looked unconvinced and bit the rabbit's tail. As a result, the dog was sent to the back and the rabbit's tail became shorter. Snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys and chickens also went through some contests before they were arranged one by one.

China's zodiac animals are made up of eleven kinds of animals from nature, namely rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs, pigs and legendary dragons. Used to record the year, the order is mouse, ugly cow, silver tiger, hairy rabbit, dragon, snake, afternoon horse, sheep, monkey, You You chicken and dragon.

For a long time, many people regard Lun Heng, a great work by Wang Chong, a materialist thinker in the Eastern Han Dynasty, as the earliest document to record the zodiac. "On the Balance of Things" contains: "Yin, wood, birds and tigers. Soil, its birds and dogs are also. ..... At noon, the horse also arrived. Son, mouse also. Unitary, chicken also. Hair, rabbits, too. ..... hey, tapir. No, so are sheep. Ugly, cattle also. ..... Third, snakes are also. Shen, Qitian also. " There are only eleven zodiac signs in the above quotation, but the dragon is missing. The book "Poisonous Words" also said: "Chen Weilong, Si is a snake, and Chen and Si are in the southeast. In this way, the zodiac is completed.

"Zhou Li Chun Guan von Shi Xiang" contains: "Ten palms are two years old, ten palms are February, ten palms are two days old, ten palms are two days old, ten palms are two days old, and ten palms are twenty-eight stars. Their narrative is distinguished to meet the heaven." The division of time is progressive, with twelve years, twelve months a year and twelve o'clock a day.

"Mandarin Yu Jin Si" contains: "The Yellow Emperor has twenty-five sons, and fourteen sons have surnames, which are twelve surnames." Even the wives and concubines of the son of heaven are called "twelve women".

"The Biography of Xun Shuang in the Later Han Dynasty": "Therefore, the son of heaven married twelve women, and the number of days was also; There is an equal difference below the princes, and things have fallen. "

In recent years, the creation epic Dark Biography of the Han nationality has been discovered in Shennongjia area, in which there is a story about the origin of the main branch: "At the beginning of creation, Huang Xuan rode chaos beast and met Nuwa. There are two meat buns beside Nu Wa. There are ten men in the big one and twelve women in the small one. Huang Xuan said: "This is a heavenly revolution to support God to govern Gankun." So, they were named respectively, and the husband and wife were matched, which became yin and yang. Men are collectively called heavenly stems and women are earthly branches. "This creation myth story tells the story of Ganzhi, the mysterious god, the god of Nuwa, and the story of Ganzhi Yin and Yang Kun, dating back to the" life experience "of Ganzhi a long time ago.

In ancient times, the sky has always been the master and the earth has always been the subordinate. Ten heavenly stems are also called ten mothers, and the corresponding twelve branches are called twelve sons. Cai Yong's "Moon Order" in Han Dynasty: "The love of the five elements is great, occupying the program of fighting, so A and B became famous at the beginning, which is called dry; Making a child ugly in the name of the moon is a branch. Branches match branches to make sixty years old. " Da Rao was a minister in the era of the Yellow Emperor, and the match here is sixty years, that is, sixty jiazi, taking the least common multiple of ten days' work and twelve earthly branches. The trunk and branches are matched in order, from Jiazi to Ugly ... until Guihai is the 60th pair, which happens to be the last pair, and then defecation starts from Jiazi. This circle is called Jiazi. Among them, each aerial stem appeared 6 times and each aerial branch appeared 5 times.

The birth of the zodiac has an astronomical background. In primitive times, our ancestors experienced a cycle of alternating cold and summer.

Hong Hao's Biography at the End of Song Dynasty in Song Dynasty said: "Jurchen is very small, just after the new moon, and the person doesn't know the date. When asked, they will say, "How many times have I seen grass?" "

In the Song Dynasty, Meng Gong's Record of Monks and Tartars also recorded: "Every grass is one year old. When someone asks its age, they say how many grasses it is."

Later, some astronomical observers found that the length of a year can be measured by the moon's profit and loss cycle, and found that all twelve full moons are one year old. This discovery is one of the most accurate achievements of the early calendar, and "Twelve" is regarded as "days" to convey God's will. Heavenly stems and earthly branches, the sun and the moon are opposite, and heaven and earth are opposite. This is the "Twelve". A mouse and an ugly cow ... a dog and a pig. There are many animals in the world. Why did the ancients choose these twelve animals as their zodiac signs?

Liu Xian in Qing Dynasty was quoted from Li Changqing in Miscellaneous Notes of Yang Guang Matsushita Pavilion.

"Why is the child a mouse? 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. Murderer, tiger, Yin people, fear. If you are awesome, you are a tiger, then Yin is a tiger.

Offender, sunrise. 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.

Sheep are not sheep, because they grow by biting untimely grass.

When applying, the ape crowed in the sunset, and his arms were stretched out. By analogy, chaos runs rampant, so the application belongs to monkeys.

The moon rises to be a chicken, because it contains the essence of the golden rooster.

At the time of Hai, pigs knew nothing but diet, so Hai was a pig. "

In other words, the selection and arrangement of the zodiac is determined according to the daily activity time of animals.

At least since the Han Dynasty, China has divided a day and night into twelve hours according to the time when the sun rises, and recorded these twelve hours (big hours) with the method of twelve minutes, each hour is equivalent to two hours, and such a day and night is now called twenty-four hours.

It is midnight from eleven o'clock in the evening to one o'clock in the morning, which is the most active time for mice.

From 0: 00 to 3: 00 in the morning/kloc-,it's ugly, and the cow is ruminating. It is said that it is also the time when cows start plowing.

It is Yin Shi from 3: 00 to 5: 00. At this time, tigers are foraging everywhere, which is the fiercest.

5: 00 to 7: 00 is the crime time. At this time, the sun has not yet risen and the moon is still hanging in the sky. At this time, Yutu is busy taking medicine. Rabbits on the earth also began to come out for food.

7: 00 am to 9: 00 am is the morning, which is a good time for the dragon to rain.

From 9: 00 to 1 1, the snake became active.

From eleven o'clock in the morning to one o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is shining, and at noon, it is the time to be unconstrained.

In the afternoon 1 until 3 o'clock, it is late. At this time, sheep will grow stronger if they eat grass.

From 3 pm to 5 pm, it is the Olympic Games. At this time, the monkey became active.

From five to seven o'clock is unitary, and night falls.

In modern times, more people regard the zodiac as the mascot of the Spring Festival and become a symbol of entertainment and cultural activities.

Letter, what does the zodiac stand for? First, it is a dragon. It is said that the dragon is a magical creature. The common species of dragons are double horns, snake bodies, quadrupeds, scales, strong smells, and non-standard ones such as one-horned dragons. The prototype of the dragon is the beautiful Wayaolong in the "Xinlong" fossil, with double horns. Legend has it that dragons can spread clouds and rain, eliminate disasters and reduce happiness, symbolizing good luck, so it is a custom for Han people all over the country to dance dragons to pray for peace and harvest. Second, the dragon is one of the oldest clan totems of the Han nationality. In ancient times, people feared nature and worshipped divine power, so they created such an idol with infinite power, worshipped it and prayed for peace. For thousands of years, the dragon has been mysterious and sacred in people's hearts, and has gradually become a totem representative of Han worship. The image of the dragon known today combines the characteristics of various creatures: antlers, ox heads, donkey mouths, shrimp eyes, elephant ears, fish scales, human whiskers, snake bellies and chicken feet. Some studies have pointed out that the image of the dragon has undergone constant development and changes. In the long historical process, through war and alliance, the people who believe in the dragon totem have gradually become leaders, and the dragon totem has gradually become the banner of the whole Chinese nation's belief. The totem image originally believed by other nationalities was gradually absorbed and enriched into the dragon image, so the dragon became more and more distinctive, and its image became increasingly complex and powerful, becoming the representative of the emperor. People also concentrated all kinds of virtues and excellent qualities on dragons. We see from many stories and legends that dragons are brave and good at fighting and are not afraid of anything; Dragons are smart. It can even foresee the future. The dragon's ability is high, but it can be big or small and changeable. It can spread clouds and rain, thunder and lightning, talk and move mountains, and it is magical. The dragon is rich, and the Dragon Palace has become a concentrated place for treasures. Dragons are upright and considerate. In order to save the suffering of human drought, it even violated the dogma. People's good wishes are concentrated in dragons, and outstanding people in the world are often called dragons among people. Zhuge Liang's so-called Mr. Wolong is a familiar example.
