The story about the Chinese zodiac 1 Tiger ranks third among the Chinese zodiac, and it is cloudy in thirteen places, so it is also called "Tiger Time" at midnight every day-from three to five in the morning.
In ancient times, there were lions but no tigers. Because lions are cruel and have a bad reputation, the Jade Emperor in charge of seals wants to remove lions from the list, but he wants to add an animal to manage the mountains. At this time, the jade emperor thought of the tiger guards in front of the temple.
The samurai guards in the Heavenly Palace used to be just an unknown animal on the ground. He learned eighteen kinds of martial arts from master cat, such as grasping, jumping, biting, frying, rushing, jumping and folding, and became a warrior in the forest. Anything it competes with will die or get hurt. Since then, tigers have ruled the mountains. Later, the jade emperor heard that the old crow was brave and ordered the tiger to go to heaven. When the tiger went to heaven, he competed with the jade emperor's Wei family and won. Since then, the tiger has become the guardian in front of the Temple of Heaven.
You know, before long, the birds and animals on the ground saw that no one was in charge and began to run amok. The disaster caused to the world alarmed the land god, who quickly reported it to heaven and asked the Jade Emperor to send a brave god to stop all the animals. The Jade Emperor sent a tiger down to earth, and every time the tiger won, he asked for a merit. The jade emperor only wanted peace on earth, and of course he readily agreed to the tiger's request.
When he came to the earth, the tiger knew that lions, bears and horses were the three most powerful animals at that time. It specifically challenges these three animals. With tiger tiger's courage and superb martial arts connection, he defeated lions, bears and horses. Other evil beasts fled at the wind and hid in the uninhabited forest wilderness. The world is full of joy, thanks to the great contribution of tigers to the world.
Back in the sky, the jade emperor carved three horizontal lines on the tiger's front collar because of its winning streak. Later, humans were harassed by turtles in the East China Sea, and the land was Wang Yang. Shrimp soldiers and crabs will do evil on earth, and tigers will come to earth again to kill turtles and monsters. The Jade Emperor was so happy that he made great contributions to the tiger and added a vertical line to the three horizontal lines on his forehead. So a striking word "Wang" appeared on the tiger's forehead. Since then, the tiger has become the king of all animals, in charge of all animals. Today, the majestic word "Wang" can still be seen on the tiger's forehead.
After the notoriety of the lion spread to the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor decided to remove the title of the lion's zodiac and add the Beastmaster Tiger. Since then, the tiger has become an animal symbol, while the lion has been exiled to the far south. Of course, the tiger was also descended by the guards in front of the Jade Emperor Temple to keep the lower world peaceful forever. Today, there are also tiger charms, tiger rings and tiger carvings to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters. In rural areas, many people also like to wear tiger-headed hats and shoes for their children. As a blessing, this is not an evil, auspicious and safe plan.
3-5 am (i.e. "Yin Shi"). According to ancient records. At this time, the tiger is the most active, fierce and hurtful, because Yin Shi matches the tiger.
Stories and legends about the 12 Zodiac Legend has it that when the Jade Emperor ordered the selection of 12 animals as the Zodiac, all the animals wanted to be Zodiac and were named gods. However, this is the will of the Jade Emperor, and the animals selected by the zodiac must be helpful to human beings.
So all the animals showed their advantages in front of the jade emperor to prove that they were right-hand men. However, the origin of the zodiac dog happened with the cat.
Legend has it that before choosing the zodiac, the relationship between cats and dogs was very close. Cats think that dogs eat too much and squat at the door all day, which makes no contribution. Dogs think that cats only eat delicious food and do nothing all day. It's just chanting to scare mice, which doesn't contribute much. They argued endlessly, so they went to the Jade Emperor to judge.
The Jade Emperor asked the dog, "How much do you eat for a meal?" The dog honestly replied, "I watch the door and the garden every day, one pot at a time." The Jade Emperor asked the cat again, "How much do you eat for a meal?" The cat had a brainwave and said, "I can chant Buddhist scripture, catch mice and eat a lamp for every meal." The cat just wants to tell the jade emperor skillfully, not just eat a lamp. " He will earn his own living and catch mice to eat, so his contribution will be greater than that of dogs for a while.
After listening to the dog and the cat, the Jade Emperor came to the conclusion that the cat eats less and does more, and contributes more than the dog. When the dog heard this, he was very angry. He felt that the cat had hit himself with a disgraceful lie, so he scolded and chased the cat. The cat knows it's wrong, running all the way. When he got home, he didn't dare to show up and hid outside.
However, when choosing the zodiac, the following Tianguan did not follow the jade emperor's will and changed it to "whoever arrives first can become the zodiac", changing the jade emperor's meaning to a queuing system.
When the dog learned about it, he took the opportunity of the cat to avoid it and took the chicken to the Tiangong team. The chicken flew and ran away, ahead of the dog. The cat hid in the dark for a long time without seeing the dog. Only after I came out did I know that the dog first lined up to go to the Heavenly Palace, behind the chicken. Unexpectedly, the mouse played a trick and hid in the corner to become the zodiac. Cats used to belong to the zodiac. From then on, cats hated mice and killed them when they saw them. Although the dog became a zodiac, he was honest and never forgave the cat.
In real life, dogs are the closest friends of human beings. Since ancient times, human beings have domesticated dogs to serve themselves, catching prey, guarding their homes, guarding farmland for grazing and patrolling mountains. For people to watch. Dogs are not only human's closest companions. It is also the most loyal partner of mankind. Under no circumstances will a dog betray its master. However, the dog has won the trust of human beings with its loyalty, and it is indisputable that it is a human animal.
From 7: 00 pm to 9: 00 pm (that is, when it is dark), when the night comes, dogs keep watch at home and have the highest vigilance, producing a special vision and hearing, so they can see farthest and hear clearly, so they belong to dogs.
Stories and Legends about the China Zodiac 3 Once, a China man attended and received a delegation composed of European nobles. They are related to the royal family in Otawa. They are very knowledgeable and cultivated, and they are polite to people, but there is a kind of arrogance behind their cultivation. On the last day of the dinner party, perhaps because of drinking too much, these nobles became more natural. During the dinner, a German nobleman stood up and said, You China people are pigs, dogs and mice! Unlike us, they are all Taurus, Leo and Andromeda … I don't know what your ancestors thought! Everyone laughed and clinked glasses, and the previous elegance was completely gone.
It is natural for people to call your ancestors names. Even if you can't think of any counterattack, you can at least lift the table! However, all the people in China were silent, or maybe they didn't respond. China people stood up and said in a calm tone: Yes, the ancestors of China people are very real. Our zodiac signs are opposite to each other, and the six divisions in the wheel of karma reflect the expectations and demands of our ancestors. At this point, the atmosphere at the scene gradually quieted down, but the faces of the nobles remained indifferent.
China people say: The first kind are rats and cows. Rats represent wisdom and cows represent diligence. Wisdom and diligence must be closely combined. If you are smart and not diligent, you become smart; And just being diligent without thinking becomes stupid. The two must be combined. This is the expectation and requirement of our ancestors for our first group, and it is also the most important group.
The second group are tigers and rabbits. Tigers represent courage, rabbits represent caution. Courage and caution must be closely combined in order to be bold and cautious. If courage leaves prudence, it becomes recklessness, but without courage, it becomes timidity. This group is also very important, so it should be second. China people looked at these nobles and added: When we show caution, we must never think that China people have no courage.
Watching everyone lost in thought, China people went on to say: The third group is dragons and snakes, with dragons representing fierceness and snakes representing agility. The so-called rigidity is easy to break, too rigid is easy to break, but if there is only a soft side, it is easy to lose your mind. Therefore, combining rigidity with softness is our ancestral motto.
Then there are horses and sheep. Horses represent courage and sheep represent harmony. If a person only cares about himself and goes straight to the goal, regardless of the surrounding environment, he will inevitably bump into the surrounding area, and he may not be able to achieve his goal in the end. However, if a person is too busy letting nature take its course, he may even have no direction. Therefore, going forward must be closely combined with harmony, which is the fourth set of expectations of our ancestors.
Then there are monkeys and chickens. Monkeys represent flexibility, and chickens crow regularly, representing constancy. Flexibility and constancy must be closely combined. If you are flexible and not static, no matter how good the policy is, you will get nothing. On the one hand, it has stability and maintains overall harmony and order, on the other hand, it can move forward in flexibility, which is the most fundamental essence.
Finally, dogs and pigs. Dogs represent loyalty and pigs represent easygoing. If a person is too loyal and doesn't know how to be easy-going, he will exclude others. On the contrary, if a person is too easy-going and has no loyalty, he will lose his principles. Both loyalty to a nation and loyalty to one's own ideals must be closely combined with easygoing, so that it is easy to maintain a deep balance.
After the explanation, China people said: Finally, I want to know what expectations and requirements your ancestors had for you in Aquarius, Sagittarius and other constellations. I hope you can enlighten me.
These nobles didn't speak for a long time, and the whole audience was silent.
