Extended data:

Zodiac, also called the Zodiac, is the twelve animals that match the China Zodiac with their birth years. Rats rank first in the zodiac, and this year is the Year of the Rat, which means another cycle.

According to the China calendar, this genus is divided into beginning of spring. The division of the two zodiac signs is not based on the Gregorian calendar 65438+ 10/day, nor on the first day of the first lunar month, but on the beginning of spring solar terms in the twenty-four solar terms.

Because the zodiac is the same as the earthly branch, traditional numerology and divination are based on "beginning of spring" to calculate the zodiac! For convenience, some people decide the zodiac directly according to the Spring Festival, so the tradition is gradually forgotten by many people, and the definition of the zodiac is also controversial.

The number of people who follow and forget the tradition of setting the zodiac in beginning of spring is 50/50. If you happen to be born on a "controversial" date, some people decide according to their personal preferences.

China's animal calendar

China Han people's zodiac ranking is: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog and pig.

According to the literature, its earliest and widely circulated complete circular ranking was recorded in Lun Heng written by Wang Chong in the Eastern Han Dynasty 1 century. The appearance of the zodiac is also closely related to the animals, totem worship and early astronomical research of Chinese ancestors.

Zodiac elements can be found everywhere in China. Statues in parks, temples and even small ornaments at home can use the image of the zodiac.

The rank of the zodiac

A widely circulated version of the story about the ranking of the zodiac is Orcs.

Legend has it that in ancient times, people's knowledge level was limited, and even basic chronology and timing could not be done. The Emperor of Heaven, anxious for everyone, agreed to people's requests and decided to make animal calendars with familiar animals to facilitate people's memory. But since it is a ranking, there must be an order. What kind of order can convince animals?

After careful consideration, the Jade Emperor decided to hold an animal crossing race on his birthday, selected the first 12 animals among the 12 zodiac animals as the Year of the Zodiac, and specially stipulated that no means of transportation including boating was allowed during the race.

The news spread like wildfire to the animal kingdom, and a large number of brothers are eager to try, eager to win a place in the 12 zodiac.

At this time, two brothers with very good feelings also want to go to the party. This is Tom and Jerry. Oh, no, it's the cat and mouse brothers. But they suffer from short stature and can't swim, so they discuss countermeasures and think of Mr. Buffalo, who can get up early on weekdays and has a gentle temper, to give them a lift.

In the early morning of the jade emperor's birthday, the buffalo still kept the appointment on time, or woke up the sleepy cat and mouse brothers and set out across the river on their backs. The cat and mouse brothers fell asleep on their backs, as if they had found an automatic and intelligent driving cow.
