The origin of the Year of the Goat
In folklore, the sheep is a great figure like Prometheus in Greek mythology. Prometheus was sent to the stage for stealing the fire of the heavens, and the sheep were taken away for stealing the seeds of the grain.
In ancient times, there was no grain in the world. Humans depended on vegetables and weeds for a living. Serious malnutrition made people face hunger and thin.
One autumn, a god sheep came to the mortal world from the Heavenly Palace and found that the human face had a dish and looked wilted. When asked why, it is known that humans do not grow food, and even what is called food does not know. God and sheep are very kind, and immediately tell people to bring them some food next time. It turned out that only Tiangong Yutianli was planted with nutritious food. The jade emperor is unwilling to share the delicious food for humanity. After returning to the Heavenly Palace, the god sheep sneaked into the 御田 in the middle of the night to protect the gods, and took off the grain (rice, glutinous rice, wheat, beans, hemp), which was contained in the mouth, and the sky was not bright, slipping into the mortal world. Humans have been very curious to hear that the sheep have brought them grain seeds. God sheep gave the seeds to humans, and told the method of planting the grain, and quietly returned to the Temple of Heaven.
Humans planted grain seeds and grown crops that year. At the time of harvest, the human saw the ears of the grain, which resembled the head of the sheep, and like the tail of the sheep. The harvested food was sweet and sweet, and the harvested linen was light and warm. After the autumn harvest in the autumn, people held a grand ceremonial ritual to thank the gods for their kindness. The rituals of the peasant ancestors of this autumn harvest winter still exist in some rural areas.
The grand ceremonial ceremony stunned the Jade Emperor, and the Jade Emperor thought of the emergence of grains in the world. Immediately think of the god sheep to bring the valley to the world. After finding out the situation, Jade Emperor moved to anger the sheep, ordered the Heavenly Palace to slaughter the sheep in the world, and asked people to eat the lamb.
In the second year, the strange thing happened. In the place where the sheep and the sheep were typed, the grass was first grown, and then the lamb was grown. From then on, the sheep were passed down from generation to generation to eat grass and make their own meat and milk unselfish. Contributing to human beings, human beings are grateful to the sheep, and they hold a wax festival every year to commemorate.
When humans heard that the Jade Emperor wanted to pick twelve animals for the human zodiac and gave it to God, people unanimously recommended the sheep as such zodiac. Although the Jade Emperor was fascinated by the incident of the Sheep Thief, it was difficult for everyone to agree and had to agree that the sheep had become a zodiac.
Sheep can represent beauty. The word "beauty" in Chinese characters is a combination of the words "sheep" and "big". The beauty of the sheep is a vivid manifestation of the aesthetic tendency of the ancients.
The people who belong to the sheep are generally docile and considerate. They are rich in food and food, and can always be taken care of and assisted by others. And the fate of everyone can be decided not only in the zodiac. All should be good at educating their children to make them excellent and moral.
