Legends of the Zodiac and the Zodiac (both in China and the West)

Legend has it that rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs are all gods.

One day, the Jade Emperor ordered rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs to take charge of people's birth time and death time in the world, and asked them to take turns to take charge once a year, and after five years in charge, they could return to the palace and enjoy the rest of the time, so they waved "Go ahead".

After the twelve gods received the imperial edict, they consulted privately, drew lots among the ten words "A, B, D, E, G, N, N, N", then matched the arrival time of each god, and returned to the palace to reply to the imperial edict after five words. So:

Rats smoke "methyl propyl heptyl" and cows smoke "ethyl butyl octyl decyl"

Tigers smoke "Propranolol A" and rabbits smoke "Butyl Cinnamon B"

The dragon whipped "Egen A C" and the snake whipped "Ji Xingui Yi Ding"

Horses whip "Geng Ren A Propylene E" and sheep whip "Xin Gui Ding Yi Ji"

Monkeys smoke "nonpropyl heptyl" and chickens smoke "decyl butyl letter"

Dogs smoke "methylprednisolone" and pigs smoke "ethyl butyl octyl decyl"

After painting and signing, it happens to be a cycle of 60 years. At this time, the immortal realized a truth, ah, the jade emperor said that the life span of a person is 60 years old. So, twelve auspicious clouds floated away from the Heavenly Palace.

When mice were young, cows were ugly, tigers were in Yin Shi and rabbits were in Shi Mao.

The dragon is in the morning, the snake is in the fourth, the horse is in the afternoon, and the sheep is out of place.

Monkeys in Shenshi, chickens in Youshi, dogs in Urumqi and pigs in Shihai.

When people land on the earth, they will be blessed when they see auspicious clouds falling from the sky and lucky stars shining high. Therefore, they take the people who landed in auspicious clouds as their birth time and the gods they were in charge of as their zodiac (called the zodiac) to show people's floating wealth.

The legend of the twelve constellations

Aquarius constellation

Prince Ganyedes of Troy is a golden boy. One day, while he was herding sheep, he was suddenly caught by an eagle turned by Zeus (Zhu Ze) on Mount Olympus. This eagle replaced Princess Sybil who married Heracles and was in charge of pouring wine for Zeus. In ancient Rome, the position of the sun in the first month of this constellation was rainy season, so it must be called Aquarius, which is also commonly known as Aquarius.

fishes

Venus and Jupiter were once chased by the giant Di Feng. They all jumped into the Euphrates River and fled like fish. Mineave (another name for Athena) turned fish into stars, and God commemorated this event.

Another legend: One day, when the gods saw that the weather was fine, they held a banquet by the river. Music-loving gods happily sang and played musical instruments, and the atmosphere was quite warm. Suddenly there was a scream. This is Fan Jie, a monster with a hundred snakes and big wings. The gods saw something bad and fled everywhere. Zeus became a bird, Apollo became a crow, Hera became a cow, julius became a goat, and all the gods fled in the form of animals. Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, and her son, Giroz, the god of love, turned into fish and fled into the Euphrates River. At that time, they decided to tie their tails together with ribbons and never separate, thus successfully escaping from the monster. In this way, mother and son ascended to heaven with their tails connected and never separated. This is the origin of Pisces.

Aries constellation

Nipper's son, Farex, was sentenced to death for raping Arthas on the door. Before the execution, Jin Ram held him and his sister Heller together in time. Unfortunately, my sister was dizzy and fell off the back of the sheep. Felices was rescued safely. He offered this ram as a sacrifice to Zeus, who turned its image into a constellation in the sky. Later, Jason told a wonderful adventure story in order to take away the wool of Golden Sheep. Aries is also called Aries.

Taurus constellation

Legend has it that Zeus, the god of gods famous for his romantic style, took a fancy to Europa (which later became Europe). In order to avoid Hera's eyes, he turned himself into a bull and carried Europa to fulfill his wish. Afterwards, Zeus changed back to his original shape and put his avatar Daniel in the sky, becoming one of the constellations.

Gemini

In Egypt, its name is Gemini, which is named after the two brightest stars in this constellation, namely Castor and Hecules. These two stars have two other names, namely Hercules and Apollo, Tritto Remus and Iasian. The Egyptian concept of Gemini is a young child, not a common adult image.

Cancer constellation

The legend that cancer was first born in Babylon. In Egypt, the symbol of this constellation is two turtles, sometimes called "water constellation" and sometimes called Allul (an unknown aquatic creature). It can be seen that this constellation is closely related to water, but the detailed legend has been lost.

Le Signe du Lion

Legend has it that the symbol associated with this constellation is a lion in the Nimia Valley in Greece, which was killed by Heracles in a battle.

virgo

According to Roman mythology, Virgo, also known as the star of righteousness, is the daughter of Jupiter and Venus, who is the goddess of justice. At the end of the golden age, human beings offended her, so she returned to heaven in a rage.

libra

Legend has it that Libra was born when the balance of good and evil in the hands of a priestess in Greek mythology flew into the sky, so it is also called Libra. Around 2000 BC, this constellation was related to the trial of Babylonian religion dominating life and death, and the scales were used to measure the good and evil of the soul.

Scorpio people

Hera ordered Scorpio to climb out of the dark underground and attack Orion (Di Anna's favorite hunter, who later became Orion). On another occasion, Scorpio attacked felton, who was driving the carriage of the Sun God, with poison gas, giving Jupiter a chance to shoot lightning and destroy the running solar car.

power

Sagittarius is a figure half a man and half a yard, with the dual characteristics of animals and humans, so it is also called Sagittarius, a famous prophet, doctor and scholar. It is a supporter of the famous Greek heroes Jason, Achilles and Aeneas. Legend has it that he is the son of Carlos and Philia and the father of Zeus. It was after he was afraid that he turned himself into a horse. His mother Ferria couldn't stand her son's strange appearance and turned into a bodhi tree.

goat

Pam, the son of hamish, is a demigod. Although running god is not as good as running god, it is still superior to human beings. He likes music best and often plays the flute himself. Once, when the gods held a banquet on the bank of the Euphrates River, a monster suddenly appeared. The gods were frightened to disgrace and fled into the river in various forms. Pan also quickly jumped into the water to take refuge, but due to excessive panic, he could not completely become a fish ... This is the origin of Aries.
