  Han Chinese zodiac of the twelve animals of choice is not complicated, it is with the Han people's daily life and social life, close to, is to guess. Lunar New Year in the twelve kinds of animals can be broadly divided into three categories: one is already being domesticated, the "Liu Xu", ie cattle, sheep, horses, pigs, dogs, chickens, they are human beings for economic or other purposes Erxun Yang , accounting for half of the twelve animals. "Domestic animals" in China's farming culture is an important concept, has a long history in Chinese traditional concept of "domestic animals thrive" on behalf of the family, a flourishing population, good luck. Chinese New Year when people usually mention the "domestic animals thrive", so that animals are domestic animals has become a necessity. The second category is the wild animals in the well-known to people, and people's everyday social life is closely related to animals, they are tiger, rabbit, monkey, rat, snake, some for fear that people involved in human life, such as the tiger, snake; were for the people to hate, taboo, but the survival of mankind depends rodents; more loved by people, such as rabbit, monkey. The third category is a traditional symbol of the mascot - the dragon, the dragon is the symbol of the Chinese nation, is a characteristic of many animals in one of the "artifact" is people think the "spirit of things." Dragon represents wealth and good fortune, is the most symbolic color of auspicious animals, not least so zodiac dragon position.
  Zodiac Why not cats?
  Shuai Chen Buddhism that since ancient times, people have different opinions Zodiac Why not cats, including the above story and the "cat and mouse" story, including to name a few, but are less convinced.
  Why cats can not list? In fact, the real reason is not a cat in ancient China. Cat native to Egypt, cats were introduced to China when the test has not. Zang, Department of folklore is brought back from India. Now there is no sign of the Zodiac when it comes to why the second cat to use the folk tales to explain. In fact, the cat was introduced to China before the Chinese have a Zodiac. So there is no cat zodiac, is not surprising. According to the classification of Zoology, tigers are mammals, carnivorous cats. Tigers and cats, in fact, the "capitalists" of the pro. With the Tigers on behalf of, the cat in the Zodiac, "General Assembly", the have no lack "voice" is also worthy of masturbation by Mian.
  Zodiac animal can be seen from the above choice is not random, but have a certain meaning, people are animals _select_ed for different angles, and with a certain significance.
  Then the twelve animals in what order is it? As mentioned earlier, produced in the ancient zodiac animal worship, totemism atmosphere, it is only a Preface by the number of animals by matching symbols and Earthly Branches, Why did you choose these ten two animals, who first who, after the order in accordance with what is not conclusive, because animals are produced in the ancient old culture, old people because of the time ordered mind has lost, the people of the legends are just on the It's attached to will only depend on the legend and imagination. Lunar New Year arrangement on the issue to the following three aspects of interpretation.
  First, the story of the zodiac folklore arranged.
  Second, scholars in ancient China, Twelve hour day and night from the perspective of the ancient commentary Earthly Branches and Shaw beast attachment relationship.
  Gou dark days, the chaotic one, mice, nearly midnight when the occasion out of activities, the chaotic state between heaven and earth to bite out of the cracks, "rat-bite days open", so the child is a mouse. After opening day, and then to provide land, "to the provision of the ugly", cattle farming, which is a provision in the matter, so the ugly ox. Yin shi is the time of birth, born and to die, lethal than the Tigers, Yin, another meaning of fear, so the Yin Tiger. Mao Shi, the signs for the sunrise, the sun should have from the diagram, away from the images of fire, Yin Yao contained within, the essence of the sun or moon, the rabbit, so it is a rabbit of Mao. Chen, the images of March, at a time when dragons line rain season. Chen is the dragon naturally. Shangsi, the images of April, on the occasion when the lush spring grass, the snake is a good day, like fish, have water in general. In addition, the Si Shi am, this time the snake is owned by hole, so, f is a snake. Afternoon, the afternoon when the yang to the extreme, chi is initiation. Horses the animals, ride running, hooves vacated, but from time to time upon the earth. Vacated for Yang, riding for the negative, horse leap between yin and yang, so the afternoon into the Zodiac. Sheep grazing is the best hour of the afternoon, easy on the fat, then that is not the time, so do not be sheep. After GENOTYPES not, is the cry on the hour near the Western Hills apes and monkeys jumping like outriggers at this time, therefore the monkey with application. Unitary for the moon appears, the moon is water, should the Kangua. Kangua, Yin Yao up and down, while the middle represents the sun, Wu Yao Yang essence. Therefore, the unitary is a chicken. As night fell, is Xushi. The dog is the vigil of the livestock, it became associated Xu dog. Then Haishi that between heaven and earth and immersed in a state of chaos, as the stone fruit wrapped as Haishi night covered everything on earth. Pigs are only know to eat Hunhundundun creatures, therefore the sign of the Zodiac Pig became Hai. The famous Song Dynasty Zhu Xi hold this view.
  The third is believed by the Chinese concept of yin and yang, the animals were divided into two categories, the twelve animals of the yin and yang is the parity of the animals varied toe scheduled.
  Toe around, the number of animals is generally the same, while the mouse alone is a former four-foot, hind foot five, parity with the body, rare, of course, came in first, followed by the ox, and four toes (even); tiger , toe (odd); rabbit, four toes (even); Long, toe (odd); snake, no toe (with even); horse, a toe (odd); sheep, four toes (even); monkey, Toe (odd); chicken, four toes (even); dog toe (odd); pigs, four toes (even). Support this argument is Songren Hong Xun, Ming Lang Ying in their academics are classified on the basis of, in his book "Seven Revised draft class Zodiac" made "Earthly Branches in the next," When yin and yang, so do not see the number of toes. Mice before a four claws, even as the shade, after the foot Ipomoea, odd as Yang. Midnight last night the first part of the yin, yang of the second half today, just use the mouse to represent children. Cattle, sheep, pig's trotters points, four chicken claws, along with lack of lips and four claws rabbit, snake tongue points, six persons shall be aggregate even, yin, accounting for six of the Earthly Branches. Ipomoea tiger, monkey, dog prong, horseshoe round and regardless of the six who are odd, is a yang, together with the mouse is a positive, accounting for six other Earthly Branches. Lang Ying of the classification method is classification by Hong Xun, the two are similar.
  These three explanations from different perspectives to explain the zodiac's order, civil order on the legend of Zodiac animals are very rich, while the spread of these legends enrich the content of the Lunar New Year, on the other hand promote the cultural heritage and development of the Lunar New Year . The twelve zodiac animals were divided into two categories, will be incorporated into the Chinese concept of five elements of faith into the purpose of life ceremony will be associated with the sign of the Zodiac, the Yin and Yang, Five Elements and the Zodiac correspond to the interpretation of other relevant life cultural phenomenon.

The moral of Zodiac
十二生肖的寓意
  Zodiac our country in pairs, six cycle, the embodiment of our ancestors, all of our expectations and Chinese requirements.
  Group I: rats and cattle. Mice represents wisdom, Daniel, hard-working. Both must be close together, if only wisdom is not hard to become a little smart, just hard work, do not use their brains to become stupid. So they have to combine, it is our ancestors first _set_ of the Chinese people expect and demand, and most important group.
  Group II: the tiger and the rabbit. The tiger represents bravery, the rabbit represents prudence. The combination of the two must be close together, so that we have a bold but cautious. If the brave leave the care to become reckless, and blindly care becomes timid. This group is also very important, so second place.
  The third group of dragons and snakes. Long on behalf of Tough, the snake represents flexibility. The so-called Gang are easy to fold, so just the easily broken; too weak soft and easy, too easy to lose the flexibility of the assertive, so firmness and flexibility is our history of Zuxun.
  The fourth group of horses and sheep. Ma on behalf of Walk the Line, straight goals, the sheep on behalf of rolls. If a person went straight goals for their own interests, regardless of the surrounding, is bound to encounter many conflicts in and around, then he is likely to achieve goals. However, if a person is with and around the consensus, then he did not even direction, and goals are also lost. So indomitable mettle must be closely combined with the rolls.
  The fifth group of monkeys and chickens. The monkey represents a flexible, regular chicken crow, represents constancy. Constant must be flexible and tightly together. If you are light and flexible, there is no constant, no matter how good policies not harvest. But if you are just a constant pool of stagnant water, a piece of iron, it would not have today's reform and opening up the. Only perfect blending between them, on the one hand with the stability and maintain the overall harmony and order, on the other hand can continue to work to move on.
  Finally, dog and pig. The dog represents loyalty, pigs represent the easy-going. A person who is loyal, not agreeable, it will repel others. In turn, a person who is easy-going, without loyalty, the man without principles. So whether it is a nation-state loyalty, loyalty to the team, or faithful to the ideals of their own, must be closely combined with the easy-going, so it easy to truly maintain the loyalty of heart. This is what we Chinese have insisted the cylindrical inner side, a gentleman and different.
  Every Chinese person has their own birth sign, some people are pigs, and some of the dog, which is the significance? In fact, our ancestors expect us to harmony, not biased, requires that we know how to cut to the corresponding surface. Such as the pig who could in his affable nature, but also to build loyalty; and Dog people are loyal in nature, to be easy-going.
