What does the zodiac stand for?

What are the official positions of the zodiac? 1 mouse: stands for ruler. The mouse in The Book of Songs compares the ruler to a mouse, which reflects the people's contempt for the ruler stealing the national interests in vain, but they have no choice but to put the mouse first. Who told us that there is no ruler in the world?

Niu: Of course, it is the working people who oppose the rulers, which is the dependence of the rulers. Without the working people, the rulers are also empty words. They are driven to work day and night, but they are unknown. Compared with mice, they are tall and upright.

Tiger: It represents an army or a general. The world is fought back, and the rule and maintenance of the country also need troops and military commanders. Therefore, the army and military commanders are important conditions for governing the country. The image of the tiger is fierce and powerful, so ancient emperors lamented Andrew's bravery and protection everywhere.

Rabbit: It stands for beauty. Since ancient times, beautiful women have been matched with heroes, and gentle rabbits are opposite to fierce and mighty tigers, so rabbits should be ranked behind tigers.

Dragon: The symbol of God is not ranked first. So it means sacrifice. That is, the clergy wizard, the image is sacred.

Snake: Oppose the sacred and playful eunuch.

Seven horses: across all directions. People who represent talents are useless and travel all over the world. It's called a chivalrous man.

8 sheep: confront the horse and form a circle. On behalf of the well frog, baa baa is a kind of talk without disease.

9 monkey: alert, smart and sensitive, but difficult to succeed. Refers to artists, equivalent to today's entertainment circle.

10 chicken: stupefied, indicating caution. Astronomical observers and porters. Because time was very important in ancient times.

1 1 dog: be serious and honest. Represent the public, family, etc.

12 pig: lazy and sloppy. On behalf of businessmen and landlords. In ancient times, behind the low personality was the family.

What does the zodiac stand for? 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 whole?" "Things" contains: "Yin, wood, its birds, 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, Qi Tian also. "There are only eleven zodiac signs in the above quotation, and what is missing is the dragon. 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? Guan Chun? " Feng Shixiang wrote: "Ten palms are two years old, ten palms are in February, two palms are in the position of two stars, and twenty-eight palms are in the position of twenty-eight. Its narrative can distinguish the position of 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, making a total of twelve surnames. "Even the wives and concubines of the son of heaven are called' twelve women'.

"Once"? Xun Shuang biography: "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 of trunk and branches, and then defecation starts from Jiazi. This cycle 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.

What do the Chinese zodiac animals in China represent? The ancestors of China people are very real. The zodiac signs are opposite to each other and are the six divisions in the wheel of karma, which reflects the expectations and demands of our ancestors.

The first group is rats and cows. Rats represent wisdom and cows represent diligence. Wisdom and diligence must be closely combined. Wisdom becomes smart if it is not diligent. And just being diligent without thinking becomes stupid. The two must be combined. This is the expectation and requirement of our ancestors for our first group, and it is also the most important group.

The second group are tigers and rabbits. Tigers represent courage, rabbits represent caution. Courage and caution must be closely combined to achieve boldness and caution. If courage leaves prudence, it becomes recklessness, but without courage, it becomes timidity. This group is also very important, so prevention is the second most important.

The third group is dragons and snakes. Dragons represent fierceness, while snakes represent agility. The so-called rigid is easy to break, and too rigid is easy to break. However, if there is only a soft side, it is easy to lose your mind. Therefore, combining rigidity with softness is our ancestral motto.

Next are horses and sheep. Horses represent courage and sheep represent harmony. If a person only cares about his own goals and doesn't consider the surrounding environment, he will inevitably bump into the surrounding environment, and he may not be able to achieve his goals in the end. But if a person patronizes harmony, he may even have no direction. So his courage must be closely combined with harmony, which is the fourth set of expectations of our ancestors.

Then there are monkeys and chickens. Monkeys represent flexibility, and chickens crow regularly, which represents constancy. Flexibility and constancy must be closely combined. If you are flexible and inconsistent, no matter how good the policy is, you will not get anything. On the one hand, it will be stable and maintain the overall harmony and order, on the other hand, it can move forward in flexibility. This is the most fundamental gist.

Finally, there are dogs and pigs. Dogs represent loyalty and pigs represent easygoing. If a person is too loyal and doesn't know how to be easy-going, he will exclude others. On the contrary, if a person is too easy-going and has no loyalty, he will lose his principles. No matter his loyalty to a nation or his own ideal, he must be closely combined with easygoing, so as to easily maintain a deep balance.

12 What are the zodiac signs? 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 behind came running and said, "He * * * Dad, I am the sixth!" " ! I'm 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. "* * * put forward eleven zodiac names. 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 ... >>

What do the animals in the zodiac represent? The first group is rats and cows. Rats represent wisdom and cows represent diligence. Wisdom and diligence must be closely combined. Smart and not diligent will change.

Cleverness: Just being diligent without thinking will make you stupid. The two must be combined. This is the first batch of expectations and requirements of our ancestors, and it is also the most

An important group. "

The second group are tigers and rabbits. Tigers represent courage, rabbits represent caution. Courage and caution must be closely combined in order to be bold and cautious. If brave

Without caution, it becomes recklessness, without courage, it becomes timidity. This group is also very important, so it is placed in the second place. Through this group,

I can also tell you Westerners that when we in China show caution, don't think that China people don't have a brave side.

The third group is dragons and snakes, representing tenacity and snakes representing flexibility. The so-called rigidity is easy to break, too rigid is easy to break, but if there is only a soft side, it is easy to lose your mind.

Therefore, combining rigidity with softness is our ancestral motto. "

Horses and sheep, horses represent courage and sheep represent harmony. If a person only cares about himself and goes straight to the goal, regardless of the surrounding environment, he will inevitably bump into the surrounding area, the most

You may not achieve your goal in the future. However, if a person is too busy letting nature take its course, he may even have no direction. Therefore, going forward bravely is bound to be closely related to Shun.

Together, this is the fourth set of expectations of our ancestors.

Monkeys and chickens. Monkeys represent flexibility, and chickens crow regularly, representing constancy. Flexibility and constancy must be closely combined. If you are flexible and not constant, then

Good policies cannot be obtained. On the one hand, it has stability and maintains overall harmony and order, on the other hand, it can move forward in flexibility, which is the most fundamental essence.

. "

Dogs and pigs. Dogs represent loyalty and pigs represent easygoing. If a person is too loyal and doesn't know how to be easy-going, he will exclude others. On the other hand, a person is too easy-going and disloyal.

Honesty, this man has lost his principles. Whether it is loyalty to a nation or loyalty to one's own ideals, it must be closely combined with easygoing, so as to be inclusive.

It's easy to keep inner balance. "

What does the zodiac sign mean? China is the zodiac.

The zodiac, also known as the zodiac. It is twelve kinds of animals, representing twelve branches of the earth, used to remember the year of birth. These twelve animals are: rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs. Twelve animals belonging to the Chinese Zodiac (Zodiac) cooperate with the twelve earthly branches, namely rats, ugly cows, silver tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, afternoon horses, sheep, monkeys, pheasants, dogs and sea pigs.

The zodiac is determined by people's life span, which basically belongs to the concept of time, because it is related to year, month, day and time. But because it is associated with twelve kinds of animals, people endow it with a special mysterious color, which in turn affects people's psychological consciousness. All these are used by Taoist priests, alchemists and yin and yang teachers, which makes the zodiac more confusing.
