Among the two zodiac animals, only the dragon is an animal that does not exist, and the origin of the dragon surname is also related to a myth and legend. Legend has it that a person who tamed dragons in the Yellow Emperor's period was named Dong Fu, who was famous for being good at raising and taming dragons. He was given the surname of Zilong by the Yellow Emperor, so one of his descendants took his profession as his surname and began to name dragons.
The reporter found that there are two origins of the surname of the sheep: in the Zhou Dynasty, there was an official who was a sheep, and his grandson took the official name as his surname, so he was the surname of the sheep; Originally from the Qi family, it was the Yangshe family. After Qi Ying, a doctor of the State of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was first sealed in Yangshe (now in Hongdong and Mi County, Shanxi Province), then it was the Yangshe family, and later it was the Yangshe family.
The other 1 Chinese Zodiacs are also surnames.
The reporter found that the twelve Chinese Zodiacs, such as rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog and pig, are surnames and their origins are very old.
there are two origins of rat surnames. Originated from the surname Zi, from the mouse family in the late Shang and early Zhou Dynasties, and belonged to the family named after the religious totem symbol; Originated from the Turkic people, it came from the Rat Nishi tribe in Ashina, West Turkic in the Tang Dynasty, and it belongs to the Chinese name of the tribe. Now it is mainly distributed in Guizhou and Yunnan.
Niu's surname comes from his son's surname. In the late Western Zhou Dynasty, Niu Fu, a doctor of the Duke of Song Dynasty, died in battle with the nomadic Changdi people. His descendants took his name as their surname and called it Niu's.
The surname of the tiger comes from the surname of Ji, and it comes from the descendants of Bohu, one of the "eight yuan" of ancient Shunchen. Originated from the Hui nationality, it belongs to the sinicization and changed its surname to surname; Originated from the Hui nationality, it came from the general Hu Wei of the Hui nationality in the Tang Dynasty, and it belongs to the official title. Tiger surname is relatively rare in modern times, and it exists only in Yunnan, Guichuan and other places among the Hui people in China.
The origin of rabbit surname is unknown, but it exists in Taiwan Province and other places.
The surname of snake comes from the surname of Jiang, and it is after the surname of Qiu, a snake of Qi Gong nationality. That is to say, the snake surname is a branch of Zhang surname. During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, a family of Zhang surname went to Nanling and changed to the snake surname.
there are three origins of ma surname. During the Warring States Period, the son of Zhao Wang was named Zhao She, who was named Ma Fu by Zhao Huiwen because of his outstanding military exploits. His descendants initially took the word "Ma Fu" as their surname, and later changed it to Ma Fu; Since his surname was changed to Ma, for example, in the Han Dynasty, there was the Han Qi Ma Gong, whose original surname was Ma Ya, and his surname was changed to Ma; Change one's surname from another family.
The surname of the monkey is derived from Shi Huang's surname, and the surname of Cang Di Shi Huang Ji Ming Gang, and later Hou Shi. Hou Shi has many origins: from the surname; Directly from the Yellow Emperor to the descendants of Xuanyuan Ji; During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, ethnic minorities changed their compound surnames to Hou surnames. A Manchu family changed its surname and so on.
The surname of chicken comes from the surname of Xi. The surname of chicken was originally listed as one of the four "indigenous" surnames in Foshan, Guangdong Province, and there are more than 3 people with the surname of chicken in dongxing city, Guangxi.
Dog surname. There was a famous dog Weiyang in the Han Dynasty. After the Southern Song Dynasty, this surname was very rare. It is rare now.
There were quite a few surnames of pigs in ancient times. The origin of this surname comes from the word "home" of the family. Above the "home" is a hijab, which means the roof. At the bottom is the word "tapir", which means pig. The so-called pig is not a family. The surname "pig" takes the auspicious meaning of "having a pig to get married". How come there are twelve zodiac signs? What does the zodiac stand for?
there are many theories about the origin of the zodiac culture. The popular saying is that the Yellow Emperor in Xuanyuan will choose twelve kinds of animals as court guards. The cat asked the mouse to sign up, but the mouse forgot. As a result, the cat didn't choose, and they became enemies with the mouse. The elephant also signed up, and the mouse got into the elephant's nose and drove it away. Of the remaining 12 kinds of animals, the cow was originally recommended as the first, the mouse jumped on the cow's back, and the pig followed suit. As a result, the mouse ranked first and the pork chop ranked last. The dragon and the tiger refused to accept it, and were named the king of Wang Heshan in the sea, behind the mouse and the cow. The rabbit refused to accept it and raced with the dragon, so that the rabbit was in front of the dragon again. The dog looked unconvinced and bit the rabbit's tail. As a result, the dog was sent to the back, and the rabbit's tail became shorter. Snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys and chickens also went through some contests before they were arranged one by one.
The Chinese zodiac is made up of eleven kinds of animals from nature, namely rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs, pigs and legendary dragons. It is used to record the year, and it is arranged in the order of rats, ugly cows, yinhu, maotu, dragon, snake, afternoon horse, sheep, monkey, and unitary chicken.
For a long time, many people regard Lun Heng, a famous work by Wang Chong, a materialist thinker in the Eastern Han Dynasty, as the earliest document that records the zodiac. "On the balance of things" contains: "Yin, wood, its birds, tigers. The soil, its birds and dogs are also. ..... At noon, the horse also. Son, mouse also. Unitary, chicken also. Mao, rabbit also. ..... Hai, tapir also. No, the sheep also. Ugly, cattle also. ..... Third, the snake also. Shen, monkey also. " There are only eleven Chinese zodiac signs in the above quotation, and the missing one is the dragon. The book "Poisonous Words" also said: "Chen is a dragon, Si is a snake, and Chen and Si are in the southeast. In this way, the zodiac is complete.
Zhou Li Chun Guan Feng Xiangshi says: "The palm of your hand is two years old, the palm of your hand is February, the palm of your hand is two days old, the palm of your hand is ten days old, the palm of your hand is ten days old, and the palm of your hand is twenty-eight stars." The division of time is progressive with twelve years, twelve months a year and twelve o'clock a day.
"Mandarin Jin Yu Si" contains: "There are twenty-five sons of the Yellow Emperor, and fourteen of them have surnames, which are twelve surnames." Even the sons of heaven's wives and concubines are called "twelve women".
Biography of Xun Shuang in the Later Han Dynasty: "Therefore, the son of heaven married twelve women, and the number of days is also; There is an equal difference below the princes, and things have fallen. "
In recent years, the creation epic "Dark Biography" of the Han nationality was discovered in Shennongjia area, in which there is a story about the origin of Ganzhi: "At the beginning of creation, Xuan Huang rode chaos beast and met Nu Wa. There are two meat buns around Nu Wa. There are ten men in the big one and twelve women in the small one. Xuan Huang said:' This is the heavenly dry revolution to support the gods to govern Gankun.' So, they were named respectively, matched with husband and wife, and became yin and yang. Men are collectively called heavenly stems, while women are earthly branches. "This creation myth story tells the story of the dry branch, the mysterious god, the God of Nu Wa, and the Yin and Yang of the dry Kun, which goes back to the" life experience "of the dry branch for a long time.
in ancient times, heaven has always been dominant and earth has always been subordinate. Ten heavenly stems are also called ten mothers, and the corresponding twelve earthly branches are called twelve sons. Cai Yong's "The Moon Order" in the Han Dynasty: "The love of the five elements is greatly adopted, which accounts for the construction of the fighting program, so it is the first time that Party A and Party B are famous for their days, which is called dry; Making a child ugly by the name of the moon is called a branch. The branches and branches are matched to become sixty years old. " Da Rao was a minister in the era of the Yellow Emperor, and the match here was sixty years, that is, sixty jiazi, taking the least common multiple of ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches. The trunk and branch are matched in sequence, from Jiazi to Ugly … to Guihai as the 6th pair, which happens to be the last one for both trunk and branch, and then defecation starts from Jiazi. This circle is called Jiazi. Among them, each aerial stem appears six times and each aerial branch appears five times.
The birth of the zodiac has an astronomical background. In primitive times, our ancestors experienced a cycle of alternating cold and summer.
In Song Dynasty, Hong Hao's "The Story of the Song and Mo Dynasties" said: "Nuzhen is old and extremely small, which is beyond the reach of the new moon, and its people don't know the date. When asked, they say,' How many times have I seen the grass?' Gai takes the grass as one year old."
In the Song Dynasty, Meng Gong wrote in the Record of the Monk Tartars: "Every grass is one year old. When someone asks about its age, they say how many grasses it is."
Later, another sky watcher found that the moon's cycle can be used to measure the length of years, and found that twelve full moons are one year old. This discovery is one of the most accurate achievements in the early calendar, and "twelve" is regarded as "the number of days" that conveys God's will. The sky is dry and the earth needs support, the sun and the moon are opposite, and the world is opposite, which is the "Twelve". A rat and an ugly cow ... a dog and a pig. There are many animals in the world. Why did the ancients choose these twelve animals as their zodiac signs?
In the Qing Dynasty, Liu Xian quoted Li Changqing's Song Xia Guan Yu Yan from Guangyang Miscellaneous Notes:
"Why is Zi a mouse?" Yue: the sky is born in the child, and if it is not consumed, it will not open. Rats consume insects. So the night is not yet central, and the positive mouse has to wait, so the child belongs to the mouse.
the earth is ugly, but the cow is also the thing that opens the earth, so ugliness belongs to the cow.
if you are born in Yin, if you are alive, you will be killed. The murderer, the tiger, the yin, the fear. If you are awesome, you are a tiger, so Yin is a tiger.
the offender, the sunrise. Japan is isolated from the body and contains the essence of Taiyin Jade Rabbit, so it is a rabbit.
Chen, the divination of March, is the time when dragons are raining, so Chen belongs to dragons.
The divination of April is the last time, when the grass is lush, and the snake is in its place. Also, when the snake was not on the road, it was a snake.
at noon, the anode and the yin are just born. Horses are healthy and never leave the ground, and they are also yin, so they belong to horses in the afternoon.
a sheep does not belong to a sheep because it grows on untimely grass.
At the time of applying, the apes crow at sunset, and their arms are stretched out, which is a metaphor for the luck. If chaos is rampant, it is a monkey.
when the moon rises, it is a chicken because it contains the essence of a golden rooster.
When it comes to Hai, pigs know nothing except their diet, so Hai belongs to pigs. "
another way of saying it, the selection and arrangement of the zodiac is determined according to the daily activity time of animals.
at least since the Han dynasty, China has divided a day and night into twelve hours according to the time when the sun rises, and recorded these twelve hours (large hours) by the method of twelve earthly branches, each hour is equivalent to two hours, so that a day and night is now called twenty-four hours.
It is midnight from 11: pm to 1: am, when mice are most active.
from 1: to 3: in the morning, it was ugly, and the cow was ruminating. It is said that it is also the time when cows begin to plow.
from 3: to 5: , it's Yinshi, when tigers wander around for food, which is the fiercest.
It's time to commit crimes from five o'clock to seven o'clock. At this time, the sun has not yet risen and the moon is still hanging in the sky. At this time, Yutu is busy making medicine. Rabbits on earth also began to come out for food.
from 7: am to 9: am, it's morning, which is a good time for the dragon to rain.
from 9: to 11: , it's the fourth hour, and the snake begins to be active.
from 11: a.m. to 1: p.m., the sun is in full swing, and it's noon, which is the time to be unconstrained.
from 1: pm to 3: pm, it's untimely. When sheep eat grass, they will grow stronger.
from 3: pm to 5: pm, the monkeys are active.
from 5: to 7: , it's unitary. What gods does the zodiac represent when night falls?
1. Rats are gods of art, cows are gods of industry, tigers are gods of wealth, rabbits are gods of nature, dragons are gods of mystery, snakes are gods of beauty, horses are gods of strength, sheep are gods of heart, monkeys are gods of wisdom, chickens are gods of luck, dogs are gods of loyalty and pigs are gods of health.
the second and twelfth zodiac signs are the visual representatives of the twelve earthly branches, namely, Zi (mouse), Ugly (ox), Yin (tiger), Mao (rabbit), Chen (dragon), Si (snake), Wu (horse), Wei (sheep), Shen (monkey), You (chicken) and Yu. In modern times, more people regard the zodiac as the mascot of the Spring Festival and become a symbol of entertainment and cultural activities. Gen. what animals do the zodiac animals represent?
What do the zodiac animals represent?
first, it is a dragon. It is said that the dragon is a miraculous creature. The common types of dragons are two horns, snake body, four feet, scales and strong smell. There are also non-standard types such as one-horned dragons. The prototype of the dragon is the beautiful Wayaolong in the "New loong" fossil, with double horns. Legend has it that dragons can spread clouds and rain, eliminate disasters and reduce happiness, symbolizing auspiciousness, so it has become a custom for Han people all over the country to pray for peace and harvest by dancing dragons. Second, the dragon is one of the oldest clan totems of the Han nationality. In ancient times, people feared nature and worshipped divine power, so they created such an idol with boundless power, worshipped it and prayed for peace. For thousands of years, the dragon has been mysterious and sacred in people's minds, and has gradually become a totem representative admired by the Han people. The image of the dragon known today combines the characteristics of various creatures: antlers, ox heads, donkey mouths, shrimp eyes, elephant ears, fish scales, human whiskers, snake bellies and chicken feet. Some studies have pointed out that the image of the dragon has undergone constant development and change. In the long historical process, through war and alliance, the nation that believes in the dragon totem has gradually become the leader, and the dragon totem has gradually become the banner that the whole Chinese nation believes in. The totem image originally believed by other nationalities has been gradually absorbed and enriched into the image of the dragon, so the dragon has more and more characteristics, and its image has become increasingly complex and powerful, and it has become the representative of the emperor. People also concentrate all kinds of virtues and excellent qualities on dragons. We see from many stories and legends that the dragon is brave and good at fighting, and it is not afraid of anything; The dragon is intelligent. It can even foresee the future. The dragon's ability is high, it can be big and small, changeable, and it can spread clouds and rain, thunder and lightning, talk and move mountains, and its magic is boundless; Dragons are rich.
