Talk today with everybody belong to.
See often somebody sends a card, what what belongs to an ox is to cannot marry those who belong to a sheep, belong to a pig cannot marry those who belong to monkey. Return somebody to say your home made celestial bodies an ancient name for the planet Jupiter, want to fall with syncretic of chicken of the tenth of the twelve Earthly Branches so.
If of my dryasdust say this is superstitious, be sure somebody refuses to obey, so I am developed again gather up graveyard ability, say the source of this any of the twelve animals in detail.
Give birth to Xiao Shi to begin from time above all. Then we gather up first the celestial bodies word of this time. Actually time is two words, one when, a celestial bodies. First some celestial bodies, again when some.
Be in pictographic in, celestial bodies is brace up former word, it is a person hoe is being taken in the morning, so celestial bodies points to namely in the morning. I am in the article respecting before, the ancients decided October one by one with the method of get effect instantly, reform again later for in December all previous. Still have the change of lifestyle as the amplification of territory, taking sundial impossibly to go everywhere apparently, rough time method can use flourishing the first day of the lunar month of the month apparently, but this kind of method is not quite accurate, so people considered a first-rate method, view star (it is intellectual dot below) .
Above all people uses town heavenly body (Saturn) divide Huangjing roughly on average in day aerial method for 28 area, namely today's 28 constellation. Be in next every morning observation horizon rises the constellation that rise. Spring equinox is when for instance room constellation appears, the Summer Solstice is when constellation appears, the autumnal equinox is when Mao constellation appears, when empty constellation appears, be east to. Because be to use constellation to appear in the morning,will decide season, so ethereal constellation also is called stars. 28 constellation were abstracted to give 12 time.
Say a focal point: 28 constellation are a closed annulus, 12 celestial bodies are this annulus in 12 discontinuous paragraphs, remember certainly, there is painted eggshell from the back.
But science and technology needs to progress, methodological need is handy. Be not professional personage is the constellation that does not have method to write down clear sky, so have simpler method? Have for certain, use the Big Dipper namely.
Those who differ is seasonal, use the Big Dipper point to different. In midnight when, a bottle of handle of spring equinox the Big Dipper point to east, solstitial guideline, the autumnal equinox points to on the west, solstitial point to north. Then people represented 12 way with the n December, 12 celestial bodies are united eventually with 12 n rose.
Next we begin to say time. The Big Dipper can be not become only menology, still can look everyday time. People discovers a bottle of handle of the Big Dipper to be able to turn in the top of head everyday circuit. Namely every had turned the way that place of a time represents needs 1/12 day, then people begins to come with the Big Dipper time, with celestial bodies come time, it is time so (everybody applauses) . Of course people prefers to use the name that has life flavor quite to represent time, that is midnight, gallinaceous caw, smooth bright, sunrise, when feeding, border is medium, meridian, feed when, sunset, crepuscular, person is decided.
But the culture level of the farmer is finite after all, so the term of genteel still cannot remember, so a few time can express with the animal. The period of the day from 11 pm to 1 am with for instance active mice, the dog begins working the period of the day from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. . But right now 12 any of the twelve animalses are not complete.
What do we see 12 any of the twelve animalses have after all in light of now? The domestic animals that we often say occupied 6, dog of chicken of pig of equestrian flocks and herds. Remain, besides dragon, tiger, hare, snake, monkey, rat, it is the delegate that fierce danger steals. Write this I very deep feeling, on one hand the person is saying anguine mouse a brood, pig dog is inferior to, wait for slaughter the idiom such as kid, allege haughtily again on one hand oneself belong to a snake to belong to a pig to belong to mice, had thought without the person why?
We say an augur uses a book now " day book " . Came up out of land at present a lot of version, sleep for instance ground tiger Qin Jian, put equestrian beach Qin Jian, on the west river Qin Jian. " day book " in have " pilfer person " , those who tell is the day of 12 n correspondence, if produced theft, so should this bandits blossom unripe appearance?
Child, rat also, pilfer person acute mouth, sparse beard, ... ugly, niu Ye, pilfer person big nose long neck, ... the third of the twelve Earthly Branches, tiger also, pilfer person shape, hope to need, the face has Hei Yan. The fourth of the twelve Earthly Branches, hare also, pilfer person bedding face head. Celestial bodies, pilfer person man, qing Chi is lubricious... Si, bug also, pilfer person long and blacksnake eye. Midday, deer also, pilfer person long neck small , its body is not whole. ... not, ma Ye, pilfer person long tassel ear. Explain, annulus also, pilfer person round face... the tenth of the twelve Earthly Branches, water also... Qu, laoyang also... the last of the twelve Earthly Branches, pig also.
Saw, the appearance of these bandits is corresponding animal, these animals are the rudiment of 12 any of the twelve animalses. But it is different orderly, and return occurrence deer, mongolian gazelle, water. And be in current and all in the day book version that already discovered, the positional or of celestial bodies is empty, or is to use insect to express. This very good understanding, be depict bandits appearance after all, grows so that resemble dragon person is a monarch then, how can be thief. Can affirm so, the dragon of this moment has not brought into 12 any of the twelve animalses.
Have a view additionally, it is an any of the twelve animals the toe of the animal comes according to odd double interval, for instance rat the five fingers is odd number, next bovine hoof is two foot even number, catching a tiger is the five fingers it is odd number, arrived bunny is 4 foot are even number. But above in mentioned creature, still do not have this rule.
And dragon subtract later, the animal of 12 any of the twelve animalses uses appearance robber thief is more figure ah.
The person is cleverer and cleverer, science and technology is in progress. After 3 all all previous of Liu Xin, months months is applied in year of column, so natural these animals also were taken year on column. It is Chinese generation at that time, popular feeling of development of day person induction, so people begins mythological star official (you look, star becomes an officer) . Returned the small painted eggshell that writes down so that I say, serving!
East weighs Qing Long: Leopard of water of tiger of fire of fox of month of hare of day of racoon dog of earth of horny wood flood dragon, Kang Jinlong, an ancient nationality in China, room, heart, end, dustpan;
North weighs Xuan Wu: * of Zuo of water of pig of fire of rat of day of bat of the Xie that fight wood, Niu Jinniu, female earth, empty, Wei Yueyan, room, wall;
The west weighs Bai Hu: Water of monkey of fire of black of chicken of day of pheasant of earth of dog of gold of Kui wood wolf, a surname, stomach, Mao, Bi Yue, Zi, ginseng is simian;
South weighs rosefinch: Yin of snake of fire of horse of day of roe of earth of sheep of gold of well wood elk, ghost, willow, star, Zhang Yuelu, ala, water thing cross board at the rear of an ancient carriage.
The each constellation that gives 28 constellation namely matched an animal, look carefully, the animal that the rises in different month east that constellation place that says before me represents just is the animal that this month makes place is corresponding.
For instance Mao Yue namely of spring equinox east rises a room to lodge for the night in the morning, room day hare, the fourth of the twelve Earthly Branches is hare. What the autumnal equinox rises eastward in the morning is Mao constellation, mao day chicken, the tenth of the twelve Earthly Branches is chicken. And black is on the side of chicken, it is simian on the side of monkey, the wolf is on the side of the dog. An animal is prototype, deserve to go up again next a few power the animal of fierce mystery and of composition.
So what is the end that become? I think is to cooperate the thought of day person induction. According to my research, the celestial bodies before is bug, should be an earthworm, apparent and insufficient power fierce, so since high is old,lodge for the night in Qing Long, so be replaced with dragon. (Hong Jun is established when I reckon Xu Zhonglin writes apotheosis historical novel old ancestor also should be to suffer this to inspire)
Day person induction, person and day correspondence, next wantonly propagandist any of the twelve animals, slowly people accepted this fact, the any of the twelve animals arose.
So the issue came, according to the train of thought that I tell, if one individual the five elements is short of gold, so bring a big cock do you think the meeting is useful?
