How were the Chinese zodiac animals arranged by month in ancient China? Our ancestors created the lunar calendar: the first month of the lunar calendar, the winter has not passed, the ice and snow, the Shan Ye is empty, and there are few animal activities. Only tigers haunt the mountains for food, and tigers roar all over the fields. People designate the first month as the "Tiger Moon"; In February of the lunar calendar, the spring breeze warms up, the earth warms up, the grass arches the earth, revealing new green, and rabbits begin to be active at this time. People call February "Rabbit Month"; March is foggy, accompanied by thunder, and dragons appear, which is called "Dragon Moon"; April is warm, and the snake comes out of the hole, which is called "snake moon"; The grass grows in May, and people like to call horses, which is called "Ma Yue"; In June, lush vegetation and sheep are everywhere, which is called "sheep month"; In July, the trees are lush and monkeys haunt the mountains, which is called "Monkey Moon". Mid-autumn festival in August, killing chickens and drinking alcohol, called "chicken month"; Autumn harvest in September, stealing dogs, called "dog month"; It is cool in October and full of fat pigs in autumn, which is called "pig month"; 1 1 month snows, and there are many mice in the house, which is called "rat month"; In the cold of December, the old cow returned to the shed and was called "Niuyue".
Mark the moon with the zodiac, so people created the zodiac to mark the days. North seven books? Wei Shou Chuan records: "The first day of the first month is the day of rooster, the second day is the day of dog, the third day is the day of pig, the fourth day is the day of sheep, the fifth day is the day of ox, and the sixth day is the day of horse ..." The auspicious days of Yi people are also related to animals, which are tiger day, rabbit day, dragon day, horse day, sheep day, monkey day, chicken day, dog day, pig day and rat day in turn.
What are the twelve months in a year? The first month of every year corresponds to a tiger, not a mouse. The complete order from the first month to the twelfth month is: tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog, pig, mouse and cow.
So the Year of the Monkey is in May of this year's lunar calendar.
Why doesn't the month corresponding to the zodiac start with a mouse? An interpretation of the selection and sequencing of animals in the zodiac. That is, from rats, cows to pigs in 1 month and February respectively. . /kloc-corresponding to 0/2 months.
What does January of the lunar calendar have to do with mice? First, let's take a look at what the ancients were doing in January.
Just after the Spring Festival in January, the weather is cold. It's winter at home except visiting relatives and friends. Before winter, people stored a lot of food, not only people but also mice. In winter, it is difficult for mice to find food outdoors, so their activities become very "eye-catching". There is a folk saying in Jinan: Mouse, mouse, come early on January 1st. In many areas of our country, there is a saying that rats marry women in the first month, which is a reflection of the frequent activities of rats in January. The ancients associated mice with January to remind people to beware of mice, and later it was extended to imply that people should not waste time. Its logical order is rats-prevent rats-repair doors and windows cabinets-repair other utensils. It implies that people should not be idle even at home in winter, and can do things that they can't usually take care of.
February corresponds to cattle. In some places, the first day of February is regarded as the Spring Festival, and people are asked to "be lazy" and "eat Yangchun cakes", indicating that they should work hard. In Song Dynasty, Ceng Gong wrote in "Walking North on February 8th" that "I will be promoted from Gaoting to Zhu Bei, and I want to take a long time to start spring ploughing." February is a good season for spring ploughing, and cattle are the helpers of cultivated land, so it is most appropriate to use cattle to refer to spring ploughing. Cattle are associated with February to remind people to plow their fields in spring in time and not to miss the busy farming season.
The third place in the zodiac is the tiger, which was originally regarded as the god of four images, corresponding to the west, and then combined with the theory of yin and yang and five elements, the concept of white tiger appeared. In ancient legends, the white tiger is the god of war, with magical powers such as exorcism and disaster relief. The white tiger is related to March, which means offering sacrifices. Sacrifice was a very important thing in ancient times. As the saying goes, "the great event of the country lies in worship and martial arts" (Zuo Zhuan). Thirteen years into a public ") will sacrifice and war side by side in the front, can be seen.
But unlike other parts of the world, our ancestors were sacrificed in the early days, not the gods. (China's ancestor worship even suppressed and delayed the spread of early religion. In fact, before Buddhism was introduced, China had not formed a widely unified religious belief. Not only does the state attach importance to sacrifice, but it is also an important event to sacrifice ancestors among ordinary people.
For example, in ancient times, when a house caught fire, the first thing to be rescued was not property but ancestral tablets; For some reason, the family can move without other things, and the ancestral tablets must be brought with them. For another example, villages in the west are built around churches, while villages in China are built around ancestral temples (places where ancestors are sacrificed). Today's China people also have the habit of Tomb-Sweeping Day's grave-sweeping, but compared with the ancients, it is far from the attention and realm.
Here is a passage "When moving south to Hangzhou, Yang? V granted Cheng Zhonglang to live in Lin 'an. Because his father (Zhong Xianggong Yang Bangyi) was buried in Jiankang, every year in Tomb-Sweeping Day, the whole family went to the cemetery to offer sacrifices. For the convenience of sacrifice, Yang? V built a villa in Hongshan, Wuxi, between Nanjing and Hangzhou, as a habitat on the way to the festival. "Note 3: The villa was built on the way to the grave, not only because of wealth, but also because of concern.
Next is the rabbit, which means hunting. In April, plants grow and spring warms bloom, which is a good time for hunting. Is hunting important? Why did you bring it up?
Take 1965 "bronze pot with banquet pattern" unearthed from the Warring States Tomb in Baihuatan, Chengdu, Sichuan as an example. The design of the pot body is divided into four layers, and each layer is related to archery (shooting, shooting and hunting). Not only that, hunting scenes are everywhere in ancient literary works or other artifacts. As far as hunting is concerned, it can be big or small. The simplest one is similar to an outing, and the older one is Shi's Jiangchengzi. "Hunting in Mizhou" is "yellow on the left, pale on the right, sable with golden hat, riding a flat hill for thousands".
A bigger one, such as Mulan Autumn, which Emperor Kanggan was very keen on? One ",this has risen to the national level, similar to today's military exercises. Of course, the biggest scene is Cao Cao's sentence "Hunting in the East of the River" in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which calls the war of dumping the country "hunting", showing great pride and feeling that the world is in my hands. Needless to say, the relationship between rabbits and hunting is worth mentioning. Before he died, Reese said to his son, "If I want to lead another yellow dog, I will go to the East Gate of Shangcai to chase a sly rabbit. How can I get it? "It's embarrassing to hear this.
Ranked fifth is the dragon. Unlike other animals in the zodiac, the dragon is an "artificial" animal, so it can only play a symbolic role. In ancient mythology, one of the main "functions" of dragons is ... > >
