Although few of us modern people believe in the eight-character theory, we usually take into account some marriage customs proverbs left by the ancients, such as this sentence I want to tell you today. What? Marry a man who is a chicken and a woman who is a sheep!
Literally, this proverb is easy to understand, that is, when a woman marries, she should not choose a man who belongs to the genus, and when a man marries, she should not marry a woman who belongs to the sheep. So why is there such a statement?
We all know a word called "Dragon and Phoenix are auspicious". Since ancient times, dragons and phoenixes are not only born together, but also symbolize nobility and good luck. But in the zodiac, there is a dragon without a phoenix, so people use the chicken in the zodiac to represent the phoenix to show the beautiful meaning of "the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious".
But the phoenix is a symbol of women, so the ancients thought that men who belong to chickens generally have female personality characteristics, which are relatively weak and not masculine enough. In the eyes of many people, the rooster, as an animal that crows before dawn every day, is a symbol of hard work. When a man is a chicken, he will be considered to have worked hard all his life and not achieved much. Therefore, any woman who follows him will not have the blessing of being either rich or expensive. Therefore, there is a saying that "marriage is not a chicken person".
Next, let's look at the second half of this proverb, "Marry a woman who is a sheep." The reason for this statement is that "sheep" and "yang" in masculinity are homophonic, so ancient people thought that women who belonged to sheep generally had masculinity.
Old people in ancient times didn't like such masculine women. They believe that if a woman in a family is too strong, she will prosper and decline, the quarrel will continue, and even the woman will climb to the head of the family.
However, in ancient times, there was a concept that men were superior to women, so in ancient times, if a son wanted to choose a spouse, he must first exclude the woman who belonged to the sheep from the candidates.
With the development of the times, people now pay less and less attention to the theory of birth signs. In a relationship, in a marriage, people pay more attention to whether the three views of both sides are consistent and whether they can trust each other.
The above is related to the fact that women don't marry chickens and men don't marry sheep, and it is about the sharing of marriage. I hope this can help everyone who hates each other after watching chickens, sheep and women.
