Introduction: As the saying goes, "Since ancient times, white horses have been afraid of green cows, and once sheep and rats meet, they will stop". What do you mean? Does that make sense?
China has a history of 5, years, and it has also created a long history of Chinese culture, which is profound and profound. Among them, proverbs, as a vein of traditional culture, are summarized by ordinary people through their own life experiences, some are descriptions of life, and some are reflections on life. Because they are easy to understand and catchy, they are widely circulated, and there is a profound truth behind many proverbs. For example, the older generation of farmers said, "White horses are afraid of green cows since ancient times." Next, let's take a look.
In ancient times, when getting married, there were many customs and taboos. The most important thing was that "eight characters" must be reconciled. If the eight characters didn't match, they would be offended, so there would be various problems in their marriage and they could not be reconciled. Therefore, in ancient times, both men and women had to push the "eight characters" for marriage. Please ask the fortune teller to calculate whether it is suitable for husband and wife, and in one of the eight characters, it is necessary to calculate whether the two people's zodiac signs match. If they match, they can grow old together. And this proverb says that the horse belongs to the ox, and the sheep belongs to the count.

Since ancient times, white horses have been afraid of green cows
So why do you say that horses and cows are unlucky? Why? No one can give a specific explanation, which may be related to the fact that the early green cow was the incarnation of evil gods. In The Classic of Mountains and Seas, there was once a record of a god named Kui, who was "shaped like an ox, with a pale body and no horns, and one foot, which means that this animal looks like an ox, and its bluish-black body has no horns but only one foot. As long as this animal enters the water, it will be accompanied by wind and rain. Kui here is the early image of Qing Niu. According to "Customs Tong Yi" written by Ying Shao in the Eastern Han Dynasty, a river god who made waves was a green cow (pale cow), and Li Bing, the prefect of Qiantang, became a white cow. With the help of everyone, the green cow tamed the Minjiang River. However, in the eyes of the older generation, the personalities of horses and cows are incompatible, which may be related to their personalities. Horses are relatively strong and active. Cattle, on the other hand, are calm and honest. When two people with different personalities are combined, it is easy to have conflicts.
Whether the white horse and the green cow don't match is totally unfounded, and it is contrary to the principle of "mutual growth and mutual resistance" in ancient times. In traditional culture, the attribute of the afternoon horse is "fire", the attribute of the ugly cow is "earth", and the five elements are born of fire, which shows that the two are not mutually resistant. Moreover, Baima and Qingniu are both totems of the ancient Khitan people. History shows that once one rode a white horse eastward, and the other drove a Qingniu cart across the Yellow River. Later, they married at the confluence of the two rivers and gave birth to eight sons. The descendants of these eight sons multiplied into eight tribes, that is, the ancestors of the ancient Khitan people. It can be seen that "Baima" did not commit "Qingniu", but was a good match.
Once the sheep and the mouse meet, they will stop
. This sentence means that the zodiac belongs to the mouse and the zodiac belongs to the sheep, otherwise it will be easy to separate. This is because the offspring's attribute is water, while the ewe's attribute is soil, and the soil in the five elements is like water, so the combination of two people will be mutual, so the husband and wife will not go too far. In the eyes of the older generation, the sheep is docile, but the mouse is very cunning. If the two people are not in harmony, there will be contradictions, marital discord and marriage failure. Therefore, there is still a saying that "once the sheep and the mouse meet, it is difficult to stay in marriage".
In addition to the above two kinds, in the eyes of the ancients, there were many stresses on the genus, and many of them were similar. For example, because of the idiom "chickens and dogs are restless", dogs and chickens can't be combined, otherwise life will be restless and quarrels will often occur. Another phenomenon is the "dragon-dish rabbit", so the dragon or snake does not match the rabbit.
Actually, in our view today, these statements are all nonsense and have no basis at all. However, in ancient times, people thought so because of the influence of thoughts, and their fundamental purpose was to make their children happy in marriage and look forward to a better life.
I have something to say: in modern times, people's education level has improved, so few people care about the compatibility between genera. The two married and came together in order to create a beautiful life together and walk the rest of their lives together. Destiny is in our own hands, and happiness is also to be won by ourselves. A good marriage requires both husband and wife to run together, so it doesn't matter as long as two people love each other, understand each other, understand each other, tolerate each other, love each other and belong to each other. Don't you think?
that's what happens when a white horse meets a green cow. It's about the sharing of marriage. After reading that the white horse is really accurate, I hope this will help everyone!
