Since ancient times, what does it mean that a white horse is not worthy of an ox?
China has a history of five thousand years, which has also created a long-standing, extensive and profound Chinese culture. Among them, proverbs are a strand of traditional culture. Because they are easy to understand and catchy, they are widely circulated. There are profound truths behind many common sayings, such as what the older generation of farmers said, "Since ancient times, white horses are afraid of green cows, and sheep and rats will break up once they intersect." What are you talking about? Let's take a look together next.
In ancient times, there were many customs and taboos when getting married. The most important thing is that the "horoscopes" must be in harmony. If the horoscopes are not in harmony, there will be conflicts, and various kinds of conflicts will arise in the marriage of two people. This kind of problem cannot be reconciled. Therefore, in ancient times, men and women had to choose "horoscopes" for marriage. They asked fortune tellers to predict whether they were suitable for a couple. One of the horoscopes was to determine whether the zodiac signs of two people were compatible. If they matched, they would be able to grow old together. And what this proverb says is that those born under the zodiac sign Horse are not worthy of those born under the zodiac of Ox, and those born under the zodiac sign of Sheep are not worthy of those born under the zodiac sign of Number.

Since ancient times, the white horse is afraid of the green cow
So why is it said that the match between horse and cow is unlucky? No one can give a specific explanation for the specific reason. It may be related to the fact that the early blue bull was the incarnation of the evil god. There is a record of a god called "Kui" in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", which "looks like an ox, with a pale body and no horns, and one leg. When it goes in and out of water, it brings wind and rain." This means that this animal looks very much like an ox. The blue-black body has no horns and only one foot. As long as this animal enters the water, it will be accompanied by wind and rain.
The Kui here is the early image of Qing Niu. According to the "Customs and Customs" written by Ying Shao of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a river god who made trouble and was a green bull. Li Bing, the prefect of Qiantang, transformed into a white bull. With the help of everyone, he tamed the green bull. Minjiang water.
However, in the eyes of the older generation, the personalities of people born in the year of Horse and those born in the year of Ox are not compatible. Perhaps it has something to do with their personalities. Horses have a stronger personality and are relatively more active. Oxen are relatively calm and honest. When two people with different personalities come together, conflicts can easily arise.
There is absolutely no basis for whether the white horse and the green ox are incompatible, and it is also contrary to the principle of "mutual growth and restraint" of the five elements held by ancient people. In traditional culture, Wu Horse The attribute is "fire", and the attribute of Chou Niu is "earth". Among the five elements, fire generates earth, which shows that the two are not incompatible with each other. Moreover, the white horse and the green ox are both totems of the ancient Khitan people.
Historical records: There was once a man riding a white horse heading east, and a man driving a green ox cart down 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 major tribes, which are the ancestors of the ancient Khitan people. It can be seen that the "white horse" does not offend the "green ox", but is a good match.
Once the relationship between Sheep and Rat ends,
This sentence means that people whose zodiac sign is Rat and people whose zodiac sign is Sheep cannot be combined, otherwise they will be easily separated. . This is because the attribute of Rat is water, while the attribute of Sheep is earth. Among the five elements, earth overcomes water, so the union of two people will be in conflict with each other, so the couple will not be able to get through. In the eyes of the older generation, sheep are relatively docile, but rats are very cunning. If the two people's personalities are not harmonious, conflicts will arise, the relationship between husband and wife will be discordant, and the marriage will fail. Therefore, there is also a saying that "when the sheep and rats meet, they will be together." If you divorce, it will be difficult to stay married if you get married."
In addition to the above two, in the eyes of the ancients, there are many things to pay attention to when it comes to zodiac signs, and many zodiac signs are also incompatible with each other. For example, because of the idiom "Chickens and dogs are restless", people born in the year of dog and people born in the year of chicken cannot be combined. Otherwise, their lives will not be peaceful and quarrels will often occur. There is also a phenomenon of "Dragon and Rabbit", so those born in the year of Dragon or Snake are not compatible with those born in the year of Rabbit.
In fact, from our perspective today, these statements are nonsense and have no basis at all. But in ancient times, due to the influence of thoughts, people believed that the fundamental purpose was the happiness of marriage and the expectation of a better life for the children in the family.
I have something to say: In modern times, people's education level has improved, and few people care about the conflict between the zodiac signs. The two got married and came together in order to create a beautiful life together and spend the rest of their lives together.
Destiny is in your own hands, and happiness must be fought for by yourself. A beautiful marriage requires both husband and wife to work together, so as long as two people love each other, understand each other, and are considerate of each other , tolerate each other, love each other, it doesn’t matter whether they are in the same genus or not. Does everyone think so?
The above is related to what it means since ancient times that a white horse is not worthy of an ox. It is a sharing about marriage.
After reading the excellent marriage between cow and horse, I hope this will be helpful to everyone!
