Hello everyone, I'm pptgo
There is 1 month left until the Lunar New Year, and 2024 is the Year of the Dragon of the Chinese zodiac. Everyone is very aware of their zodiac signs, which is a long-standing tradition since ancient times. But how did this zodiac sign come about, how did it evolve to the present, and become an indispensable part of everyone's life?
The zodiac signs are a special way of using the year in traditional culture, and each zodiac sign corresponds to a specific animal, which is repeated every twelve years. This system originated in ancient times, and there was a relatively complete zodiac system in the pre-Qin period. The earliest hand-me-down document that records the same 12 zodiac signs as in modern times is Wang Chong's "On Balance" by Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
According to scholars, in the primitive society, the ancestors worshipped the animals closely related to their lives as the totems of their own people, which gave rise to the 12 zodiac signs. And created the year star, which divides the year into 12 months, and each month corresponds to a zodiac.
There are many different historical allusions and legends about the ** of the zodiac. One of the more famous is the story of the Jade Emperor's birthday. Legend has it that when the Jade Emperor celebrated his birthday, he ordered all the animals to come to celebrate his birthday on the ninth day of the first lunar month, and decided to select twelve animals in the order of reporting to congratulate him on his birthday, as guards on the road to heaven, and to take turns on duty every year. The 12 zodiac signs are not only widely circulated among the people, but are also used in various cultural activities, such as the Spring Festival, where everyone has their own zodiac year, which is reincarnated every 12 years. In addition, the 12 zodiac signs are also combined with the Chinese doctrine of the five elements, each of which corresponds to specific attributes of the five elements, thus forming a unique system of cultural symbolism.
In traditional culture, the dragon is a very important symbolic animal, representing honor, courage, good luck and change. As a result, the Year of the Dragon is often considered an auspicious and lucky year.
