The story on the zodiac, is a very interesting topic, here the stories, including myths, legends, anecdotes well.In the Chinese zodiac's ranking on why rat small to large, behind the first one? First of all, let this man's sage and wise men of today's puzzling: on the body, tiny mouse, people can live in a raised open play in the markets, Zodiac animals, it is the smallest one. ; Of brute force, its strong and cattle, the mighty tiger, the dragon god, prancing horse, is simply not in the same category; of quality, practical cattle, rabbits good, hard-working horse, docile sheep, pigs reality, also appeared many times better than the mouse; again on the wisdom and smart monkey, dog intelligence, also in the mouse over. Back one step, even the most vicious than anyone else, I am afraid of the snake also came in front of mice. But the fact is that little mouse is the eldest zodiac!This question is still a unsolved, it is said, announced today that it is probably only one explanation: the guy in charge of Zodiac Ranking is a venal corrupt officials, he received a rat done a great trading power for money benefits of color when , the first gold crown added to the lacking virtue only of a small mouse head. This is of course a far-fetched joke. But, indeed, mankind have never found a convincing explanation. However, human after all, is the most intelligent animals, a senior animal, identified in the Chinese Zodiac Many years later, it finally compiled perhaps out of self-deception to justify a folk tale to explain why the rats in the zodiac ranked first. This is called "the largest rat" stories of the Hunan and Hubei in the Central Plains area: Mice and sheep, oxen and horses and other elected 12 Chinese zodiac signs, the mouse said: "I should be in the first place." Cows, horses, sheep, they are not convinced, saying: "Why do you row the first one?" Rat said: " I am, so I had to wait in the first. "beasts of burden and so can not help laughing laughed:" You have our life? "the mouse said:" We dispute the count a few, or people for it. "oxen and horses are all sheep people to comment on consent. Then they discuss the way: the leading cattle, horses, sheep, mice have one by one from the street came to see how people comment.
In the street, cows came, people said: "This cow is very strong." Horse came, people said: "This horse really high." Sheep came, people said: "This sheep is fat . "Finally, the rats walked blatantly Tingzhaoduzi, people suddenly out of the street to see a large rat, are chasing it shouting:" How big a mouse Yeah, good big a mouse Yeah! "As a , oxen and horses sheep have nothing to say, let rats came in first.
In addition, there is a similar folk story ranking 12 Chinese zodiac signs.
How about Zodiac ranking, and that up there an interesting story:
Chaos in early hours, attribution to just timing, the Jade Emperor ordered the universal call animal world, according to child, the ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, had, afternoon, no, shen, you, xu, hai 12 Earthly Branches selection of 12 Chinese zodiac signs.
After the news, alarmed both Tom and Jerry spent a good friend of a friend. Cat to the mouse, said: "Tomorrow, before dawn to go to heaven to be elected, the problems I have a snooze to when you have to call me a ah!" Mouse he kept: "The hard to say, hard to say!"
But the next morning, Machiavellian has secretly got up walked out of the rat.
That day, inside the celestial palace on the set of animals in Yunnan, began to be elected, the Jade Emperor by Heaven and Hell, singled out the dragon, tiger, cow, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, pig, rabbit, snake, rat 12 for 12 species of land and sea mammals to Zodiac. Cock long time with two beautiful angle, is also included in mammals.
Emperor just give them what row seating, saw a flash out of the black fox farms that though it was silent and stupid students cheek, but special love troublemaker, it is played: "The Emperor already selected leaders, Xiaochen ready for Jun sharing the burden, as a fair person, followed by qualifying for the brothers. "Jade Emperor heard this joyful, asked the pig to be impartial and off, on Tuizhao the.
Emperor left, Zodiac became gruel on the trouble.
At the beginning, we unanimously elected a moderate, tolerant of the old cattle the first place, even the mighty tiger, the black dragon respect it is also somewhat in agreement. However, mice have reduced drilling in a corner out of protest. It said: "I am big on large numbers, we do not believe that a test of a test of human and listen to people's comments." Thus, the old cattle and mice to the streets downtown.
Cattle in the crowd passed, people no response. At this time, rats "Chi Liu," all at once climbed to the cattle back playing vertical pillar to the streets of people have commotion: "A big mouse!" And other people came with sticks beat out, the mice had already Paoyuan.
Mouse back fanfare, the public do something for animals for cattle, only Black secretly pleased, it felt the only way, regardless of size, difficult to distinguish good and bad, to fish in profit from themselves, so, it first picked up a stroke of a pen mouse, the back of the ox.
This irritated the side of the tiger and the black dragon, Talia cried loud noise, shook the public animals shivering. Dragon and tiger animal who hastily public worship, unanimously elected the tiger as king of the mountain, black dragon is the king of fishing, the unified control of the world. Monkey for the tigers was "King" character Jin Bian, hanging in the tiger forehead, cock horns gave the black dragon. Since then, the black dragon wearing a crown. Tiger, the black dragon with human power, and also kept the mice and old cattle later. At this time, another rabbit out of a troubled, it soon as sneer, said: "Hey! On my mouse looks similar to me than the mice on the sub-major, I am the mountains guarding the king, should be front row at the Sea King."
Black dragon a furious, said: "You have to comb a break, let's test of a test of not convinced." Pig a suit the, and quickly said: "whiz, you will more than match Run, so dogs do you judge member. "
Dogs and chickens has never and it see chicken curry favor with Dragon, he wanted opportunity to tease them about it selected clusters of runway article thorns, secretly on the rabbit said: "Your tail is too long, would impede competition, to bear the pain afford to spare. "It is to cut a big slice of rabbit tail, leaving only a little tail root.
Start of the race, and black dragon clouds, flew a moment to go ahead, however, went to the bush when the time was vines tangle up in the corner, how are Abstract not down. Hare a leap up 18 ridge, went to the end of breath.
Black animals, despite public opposition, the rabbit came in after the black dragon tiger before.
Dogs go to the hare Hershey, sell it to the rabbit hard to say: "If one does not choose such a track, do not help you cut the tail, how can you win today, ah." Hare is holding it's tail cut thick sorry if hearing dog , write the three mouth, said: "Well! my ability to win with, without you, I can not lose this beautiful tail it!" dog one, all air red eye, it said: "Since you have skills, one being that we also walk it! "Hare said haughtily:" What is difficult, I Xianpao, you can catch me, I ask you to pick She only picked. "talking on the run up triumphantly. Dogs sharpening their claws, as to catch the up arrow. Soon, the thrust on the rabbits, hares bite the neck of its mouth while eating side, said: "Well, that under the pick She only picked up."
This thing, the dog is also affected by the sanctions, was relegated to the last head.
Black dragon race failed, often privately complained that chicken Sumikake tired it, cock it sad to hear another regret, it came to the beach on the Long said: "The Long brothers, that since the two horn no benefit to you, then Please return to me. "cunning dragon said:" This double-angle although harm me, but can decorate my instrument, but also you will see, to wait out the sun, sun, moon, under the East China Sea. "He then a Mengzi submarine went under the bar. Naive cock face value, it is up before dawn every day, hoping the sun came out from the Western Hills, craned his neck from time to time, the call to the sea: "Long Ge - Costa Rica! Angle - also - I ... ..."
From then lost two angle cock, it was ranked behind.
Only monkey, snake, horse, sheep, pigs, there is no set qualifying. Inomata ulterior motives instigated: "Monkey is a land of acrobatics brother king snake brother is in the water swimming expert, you Backwards it?" After some discussion, they decided to conduct a private test and then to earth, to acrobatics . Green Snake invited to a red horse, monkey invitation of the goat, it helps to do both clothing props.
At that time, there are 12 legs belly snake, walking up and clunky, and slow. Red horse is a pleasure in helping the man of action, it quietly to the snake with a thin tube to do a dragon clothing, dragon clothing above compiled a square pattern with horsehair, it is truly beautiful. Red horse double layer of fat scraped from the fuselage painted dragon clothing, so that the dragon is very creamy clothing. Green Snake wearing long clothing, cover the stupid leg, with the slide instead of walking, both sensitive and beautiful.
Goats usually sick of monkeys, too jumped on the day it jumped to its grass worn away, so less and less enthusiastic help of the monkey, the monkey would like to make up for deficiencies in what light Ding, goat body for help: "The sheep brother, please you cut me a little nap, after I Bu Bu Ding it. "goat upset and said:" the sky cold, you know, I rely entirely on the physical precious shirt too! "monkey had no choice but still light with Ding.
Game day, dressed in long green snake suit, while the branches on the coil, such as vines, while on the water slide flies. It raised his head and neck, only the ground tail tip, performing a variety of acrobatics, people cheered again and again. Monkeys performed a turn and saw it climb thick stick, swing, also won many accolades, when performing the "upside down bamboo", the monkey on the branch with the end of the tail volume, head down to start all kinds of thrills action, Suddenly he heard someone shout: "Look ah! monkey ass eyes on fire!" People are loud laughter together. Monkeys always defend their blunders, it blush flustered, busy with a tail to cover bottom, just listen to "splash", head-down a face full flower.
In this way, green snake, and red horse in the front row, goats and monkeys came in behind.
Animal drained to the public seating, Black to write in the most front, he said to himself: "this time but I promoted wealth, fame and fortune of the time! It comes inside the celestial temple, met with the Emperor. Emperor took seating table, took one look, said nothing, put in front of Black's name checked off, fill in the final head. Thus, the Jade Emperor to Taibaijinxing written by Earthly Branches row: offspring, ugly cow, Yin Tiger, Mao Rabbit , Chenlong, had a snake, Wu Ma, no sheep, monkey applications, Unitary chicken, Xu dog, Hai Pig 12 birthday table, and down an edict was made to the earth Duty Gongcao release.
For the selection has been set, the Jade Emperor anger still lingers, and gave Fish Cakes with a few words:
Useless fools and wrong.
Fine to eat frequently, a one-year slaughter.
Black was demoted, once had a pregnant gas. Mao lay it all day nest, no longer bother meddling has. However, sometimes heart is still itching, himself, with a mouth that arch the arch, fiddle with right and wrong.
Rats back home, happy to stroke the three and a half beard dance to awaken the sleeping cat. Cat asked: "Not yet you?" The mouse said: "The morning passed on, we also fight the first too!" Rat to the cat from his vivid descriptions boasts cute. Cat angry regret to say: "I have repeatedly told you, how do you not called me what?" Mice but dress down cat, said: "no longer your own ears? I tell you to go, you robbed me of my position Hing do ! "cat 1, so angry to be stood on a long, almond eyes open wide, it is the paws Lee Zhang Kaifeng, a sudden big stride forward pounced to, the mice ate.
Since then, Tom and Jerry became enemies for generations.
