What is the ranking of the zodiac in turn?

Rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs.

Why does 12 Zodiac Mouse rank first?

The guy in charge of ranking the zodiac is a corrupt official, taking bribes and perverting the law. He accepted the great benefits of the mouse, made a power and money transaction, and put the first gold crown on the head of a little mouse without virtue and talent.

This is of course just a far-fetched joke.

But it is true that human beings have never found a convincing explanation for this.

However, human beings are, after all, the smartest advanced animals among animals. Many years after the zodiac was confirmed, people finally made up a folk story that may be self-deceiving and self-explanatory, so as to explain why rats rank first in the zodiac.

This story, called "the biggest mouse", is spread in Hunan and Hubei in the Central Plains.

After the mouse, cow, horse and sheep were selected into the zodiac, the mouse said:

"I should be in the first place."

Cows, horses and sheep are not convinced and say:

"Why is it ranked first?"

The mouse said, "I am old, so I want to be the first."

Niu Ma and others couldn't help laughing: "Are you as old as us?"

The mouse said, "We don't count when we argue, so let others say."

Cattle, horses, sheep, etc. Everyone agrees to let people comment.

So they discussed ways: led by cows, horses, sheep and mice, they walked through the streets one by one to see what people said.

In the street, cows come and people say:

"This cow is very strong."

The horse came and people said:

"This horse is really tall."

When the sheep come, people say:

"This sheep is very fat."

Finally, the mouse swaggered over. People saw a big mouse suddenly running out of the street, and they all chased it and shouted:

"What a big mouse! What a big mouse! "

In this way, cattle, horses and sheep have nothing to say, and mice rank first.
