What does it mean that six animals are missing from the master's house?

There are six animals missing from the owner's house, which is a divination term. Literally, this six-pointed star means losing livestock, but it is not necessarily a bad thing.

In other words, this divination is in line with "a blessing in disguise, a blessing in disguise". The six animals here do not necessarily refer to "livestock" unilaterally, but can also be extended to certain property losses, such as money and materials.

Overview of six kinds of livestock

Six animals generally refer to livestock in traditional culture, including camels, donkeys, ducks, geese and other livestock except horses, cows, sheep, pigs, dogs and chickens. Horses, cows and sheep are mostly found in bronze age cultural sites.

Pigs, dogs and chickens are common in Neolithic cultural sites. The concept of six animals first appeared in the literature of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the six animals have rich cultural connotations in the tradition. It is one of people's best wishes that "the grain is abundant and the six livestock are prosperous".
