What does the old rural saying "nine out of ten sheep are incomplete, and one is in the palace" mean?

There is an old saying in rural areas: Nine out of ten sheep are incomplete, and one of them will sit in the palace. It means that people born in the Year of the Sheep have a bad life and cannot live a good life. This sentence is very popular among the people. Some people even deliberately do not have children in the Year of the Sheep. This is actually very unnecessary. This sentence has a certain degree of feudal superstition, and people originally said it to express their dissatisfaction with the Empress Dowager Cixi.

The ten sheep and nine imperfections are related to Cixi. The Empress Dowager Cixi was born in the Year of the Sheep. As the actual controller of the Qing Dynasty, she did many things that humiliated the country and lost power externally. She also failed to maintain domestic stability internally. Uprisings continued in various places and the people were in dire straits, so the people particularly hated Cixi. As a result, the folk began to have the saying "Ten sheep and nine incomplete". It is mainly a spiritual victory method for the people, using this method to express their hatred for Cixi.

Nine out of ten sheep are not trustworthy. When we hear these common sayings, we must learn to distinguish them. Some common sayings are the wisdom of life from the past, and some are just dross. The predecessor of "Ten Sheep and Nine Blessings" was "Ten Sheep and Nine Blessings", but later the name was changed because Cixi was born in the Year of the Sheep. Sheep have been loved by people since ancient times and are considered to be beautiful animals. Our Chinese character "美" means "sheep" on the top and "big" on the bottom, which shows that people think sheep are beautiful. In addition, our country has long had the saying "Three Yang Kaitai", which also believes that sheep can bring good luck.

In short, whether it is "nine out of ten sheep" or "nine blessings out of ten sheep" is just a very subjective statement, the zodiac sign has no impact on a person's destiny. If a person wants to live a good life, he only needs to choose a good direction and then work hard to live a good life. If you are obsessed with this kind of feudal superstition, even the zodiac signs that are recognized as good luck will not help.
