How can a mouse be the boss?
The ancients had a "love-hate" relationship with mice. Why do they regard it as the first of the zodiac?
The ability of "mouse"
Yuan Mei, a great genius in the Qing Dynasty, told a story about mice in "Continued Woods", which was devoted to Machamp's chaotic gods:
There was a marking officer named Fan Changgong in the rural examination of Jiazi in Jiangnan. Huang Gong looked at the newspaper and put all the things that went wrong in the drop box. However, there was a piece of paper, which was put in the box several times and put back on the table several times.
Huang Gong was so frightened that he lit candles at night and pretended to be asleep. At this moment, I saw three little mice get into the box, take out a piece of paper and put it on the table. Huang Gong was amazed, thinking that there must be such a person, and reluctantly let him get the provincial examination.
After the list was published, he specially called "you" and asked, "What good things does your family do?" "The family is poor and there is nothing to do, but you are not allowed to keep cat ears."
It turned out that the Min family didn't have a cat, so the mouse was grateful and returned it. This story happened in the year of Jiazi, that is, the year of the rat, which is obviously related to the worship of the zodiac mouse. Rats not only appear in the Year of the Rat, but also have a positive image of gratitude.
This is the first of the 12 zodiac animals-the mouse.

A "mouse marries a woman" in extreme fear.
When it comes to the worship of mice, it is nothing more than "mice marry women." But today is not a festive day. Terrible things will happen on the day when a mouse marries a woman, and the problem often lies with the groom.
On the tomb of Wu Tianshun, a modern stone tomb in Guzhang County, western Hunan, there is a stone carving of a mouse marrying a woman. Before the farewell party, there was a big cat with a happy face. It's the groom of the rat girl.
What will happen next? You can imagine. Such a wedding is not so much a happy event as a conspiracy of rats.
The custom of "mice marrying women" itself is full of hostility towards mice. The key lies in the word "marry". Marrying a mouse, like marrying a disaster or a child born out of wedlock, means being kicked out of the house. Marrying a mouse is actually driving away the mouse.

The year of the rat is coming to an end.
People expect to take good care of the granary.
Rats didn't steal it.
And the coming year of the ox.
Often indicates a good year.
The so-called good weather, good harvest.
Taking the zodiac as the year will always lead to countless auspicious words. 2009 is the Year of the Ox, and a colorful bull kite with the word "ox" floating on it appeared in Shanghai Bund Scenic Area, which is particularly eye-catching.

03 ugly cows are not ugly.
There are always people who think I am ugly when they see an ugly word in my name, but this "ugly" is not "ugly".
In the zodiac, steak is the second, and the corresponding ground branch is ugly, which is called ugly cow. Today, people often say that the ugliness of beauty and ugliness comes from the simplification and merger of two different Chinese characters.
Ugliness is the second in the earthly branch, and the ugliness of beauty and ugliness is the ugliness in traditional Chinese characters, so this ugliness is not ugly.
In the picture, the bull knight with the jar is full of domineering.

East Xu Shen said in Shuo Wen Jie Zi that the original meaning of "ugly" is the hand, and among the twelve branches, "ugly" stands for December of the lunar calendar. At this time, everything is budding and we can get ready. ...
Preparation means preparation, and the ugly word means to express what you have at hand, that is, sacrifice. In Shang Dynasty, cattle were the most important sacrifice, so it makes sense to match "ugliness" with cattle.
Is 2004 a bad year?
Many people think that the animal year has many taboos and is unlucky.
In fact, people think that there are many taboos in this animal year because they attach too much importance to it.
The core tablet of life, also called Yuan life and Nian life, is also a kind of star life. The ancients believed that the movement of stars was related to good or bad luck, and good or bad luck could often be predicted by the movement of stars.
The story of Guan Ju recorded in The History of the Three Kingdoms written by Chen Shou, a native of A Jin, records the prediction of death by the core remains of life.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Yu was good at astronomy, divination and physiognomy. In the second year of Jacky (255), he told his younger brother that his life span was only 478 years.
The younger brother asked him why, and one of the reasons that determined his life span was his birthday. Sure enough, Guan Ju died in February of the following year at the age of 48.

The animal year is fleeting, which is also related to another folk culture in China, that is, "Tai Sui". It is often said that "crimes are committed at the age of one's birth, and crimes are committed at the age of one's birth, and there is no joy or fear of disaster", which is the expression of crimes committed by the core monument of life in his later years.
But is Tai Sui a demon or something? Find the answer in the new issue of 1.
The picture shows Yang Ren, who often uses his own image to describe "Tai Sui".

Are there any cats in the zodiac?
When did the cat appear in the zodiac?
When the Chinese zodiac was spread abroad, it combined with local characteristics and created a new combination form. For example, the farther south, the more cats there are.
Influenced by China culture, Vietnam also has a Chinese zodiac, but the Vietnamese zodiac has cats but no rabbits. In other words, Vietnam will celebrate the Year of the Cat, and some people are cats.
There is a saying that when the zodiac was introduced to Vietnam, the pronunciation of the rabbit was similar to that of the Chinese cat, and as a result, it was mistaken for the year of the cat.
In the eyes of Vietnamese, the Year of the Cat is not a good year with good weather. Cat's meow is homophonic with the vowel of "poverty" in Vietnamese. Although the Vietnamese are jealous of the "poverty" of cats, they do not refuse the delicious food of cats. In Vietnam, cats are a dish on the menu and are called "tiger babies".
Vietnamese believe that cats are the embodiment of tigers, and eating cats can nourish yin and strengthen yang and strengthen the body. Some people even think that eating a cat's spine for a long time can be as agile as a cat.
The picture shows the ancient Egyptian cat god Best boating and fishing. The ancient Egyptians believed that the cat was the guardian of the family, symbolizing the warmth and joy of the family.
