-----The 10th of the 21st mysteries in the world solved by the Theory Earth Prisoner
Why did the mouse become the first of the 12 zodiac signs? (Also titled: Why is the reason why the mouse is ranked first in the 12 zodiac signs closely related to the "benefactor of the Chinese ancestors"?)
Humans' far-fetched and wrong answers
Caused by eating wax, caused by the time, caused by the yin and yang claws, caused by running, caused by birthday celebrations, caused by reproductive ability.
The truth revealed by the Theory Earth Prisoner
The mouse, with its instinct to "eat" rice, guided the humans who floated into the earth and discovered the food that allowed them to survive on the earth. The mouse is the benefactor of the Chinese ancestors.
Today, we use the Theory Earth Prisoner as the code key to solve the 10th of the 21st mysteries in the world: Why did the mouse become the first of the 12 zodiac signs?
Why did the mouse become the first of the 12 zodiac signs? It is a puzzle that no one in the world has been able to solve so far. For thousands of years, there have been many different opinions. The strange phenomenon is that everyone says that rats are bad, but it is still the first of the twelve zodiac signs. According to the custom in the Eastern Hemisphere of the Earth, most people are born with the twelve zodiac signs. When they meet the year of the rat, there are still few couples who avoid suspicion and give birth to children. From ancient times to the present, there are many explanations for why rats are the first of the twelve zodiac signs.
However, all the statements are confusing and have abandoned an important truth, that is, rats are the first contributors to the survival of humans who just floated into the earth in the ancient times.
This "conclusion" has long been recorded in the oracle bone script created by the ancestors of the Chinese in ancient times.
The shape of the word "rat" in the oracle bone script looks like an animal with a sharp mouth and a long tail gnawing something. What is it gnawing? The thing being gnawed is on the head of this animal, with three dots. All oracle bone inscription experts say that these "three dots on the head" are the "debris" left by the animal after it gnawed the food. In this way, the answer left by the Chinese ancestors to our descendants has been ignored by our descendants.
The original meaning of the oracle bone inscription of the word "rat" is that the animal is gnawing food, so it is also called "rat". There are several rat characters recorded in the oracle bone inscriptions of the late Shang Dynasty. The shape is upright and has a long tail, which is very pictographic, but the more pictographic is still that the "rat" animal is gnawing something, and the thing being gnawed is still on the head of this animal, with three dots.
So, what are these "three dots"?
These "three dots" are the "rice" that the "rat" has gnawed half of into its stomach. "Rice" is the answer that has been ignored for thousands of years.
In the oracle bone script, the character "米" has three dots on the top and three dots on the bottom. The three dots on the top represent rice grains, and the three dots on the bottom also represent rice grains. The horizontal line in the middle represents the abundance of rice grains. "米" is a pictograph in the oracle bone script, which looks like a pile of rice grains. Later, the character shape changed and became the character "米" today.
Among the characters related to animals in the oracle bone script, only the character "鼠" has the character "米" on the top, which is two oracle bone characters combined into one.
The oracle bone script tells us with its "elements" of character creation that the mouse guided humans with its instinct of "eating rice" and let humans who floated into the earth discover the food that allows them to survive on the earth - grains of rice. The mouse that eats "rice" is the benefactor of the Chinese ancestors.
1. There are so many records in the classics, but there are no many famous scholars in history
The Chinese zodiac, also known as "zodiac signs", includes rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog, and pig. They have a long history and are an important part of Chinese traditional culture.
In the pre-Qin period, there were records in the classics, and the bamboo slips of the Qin Dynasty explained it like this: "Daily Book": The thief is Zi, the rat, and the thief has a sharp mouth and sparse beard; Chou is the ox, and the thief has a big nose and a long neck... This is shown in the cultural relics unearthed in Hubei.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wang Chong's "Lun Heng" also mentioned: Zi, the rat knife..., which clearly stated the attributes of the twelve earthly branches corresponding to the rat, the first of the twelve zodiac signs.
During the Southern Dynasties, Shen Jiong's "Twelve Zodiac Signs" said: Rat tracks are on the dusty desk, cattle and sheep come down at dusk, tigers roar in the empty valley, rabbit moon opens the dragon to the window, marshes are far away and green, snakes wander around willows, horse orchids are picked from afar, sheep carry the beginning of spring planting, monkeys are ashamed of chestnuts, chickens drink clear wine, dogs are thinking about things outside, and pigs are stupid officials.
Zhang Hua of the Western Jin Dynasty said in "Records of Natural History": Tang Fang ascended to heaven, chickens and dogs left, but the evil of rats was not gone, and rats regretted it, and their intestines came out three times a month, so they were called Tang rats.
Liu Xian of the Qing Dynasty quoted Li Changqing's "Songxia Pavilion Zhuiyan" in "Guangyang Miscellaneous Notes": Why is Zi the rat? It is said: The sky opens in Zi, and if there is no gnat, its qi will not open the rat, which is a gnat. So the night is not yet over, and it is the time for the rat to get the order, so Zi is the rat.
Zhao Yi of the Qing Dynasty pointed out in "Yu Yu Cong Kao": The northern folks did not have the twelve zodiac signs of Zi, Chou, Yin and Mao at first, but used rats, cows, tigers and rabbits to record the years... and then it was passed down.
The world's first poetry collection "The Book of Songs" also recorded the rat in the twelve zodiac signs. There are five poems in the "Book of Songs" that mention "rat", including "Xiaoya", "Binfeng", "Zhaonan", "Yongfeng" and "Weifeng". Two poems are about rats, and three poems use rats as metaphors.
The poetry collection "The Book of Songs" and "The Book of Songs·Xiaoya·Chegong" say: On the auspicious day of Gengwu, I sent my horse.
"The Book of Rites·Monthly Order·Jidong" says: Unearthed cattle to send away the cold.
However, for thousands of years, why did so many famous scholars and literati on the land of China not leave people with any relevant texts about "why the rat became the first of the twelve zodiac signs"? The reason is very simple. They do not agree with the "race theory, claw theory, time theory, wax eating theory, and birthday celebration theory" circulating in the market.
2. Unparalleled reproductive ability is not the reason for being selected as the first of the twelve zodiac signs
In ancient times, the pictographic character "rat" did not refer to a single animal or several animals of the same genus, but a general term for a variety of animals of the superfamily Muridae. Rats are widely distributed on various continents except Antarctica.
There are more than 1,300 species of rats in the world. They are one of the few animals that maintain close contact with humans. They can be seen in almost all countries in the world.
In ancient China, rats were pets. Records about pet rats can be found in the pre-Qin classic "Er Ya". Rats are spiritual, intelligent, and mysterious, representing the will of heaven and ghosts.
The reproductive capacity of mice is so strong that it is unparalleled. Mice reproduce by giving birth to live young. They are one of the mammals with the fastest reproductive capacity and the strongest survival ability. The number of mice is amazing, and the total number exceeds the human population by several times. The life span of mice is 1 to 3 years. They can reproduce when they grow to 2 or 3 months old. They have 6 to 8 litters a year. The gestation period is about 21 days. Each litter has 5 to 10 mice. The mice continue to reproduce after 2 or 3 months. In a year, a great-grandmother female mouse can increase the number of mice in the family to more than a thousand.
The food that mice like to eat is also liked by humans, such as peanuts, melon seeds, cereals, rice, potatoes, etc. A mouse can eat about 9 kilograms of food a year. The viruses infected by mice are very easy to infect humans. The bubonic plague took away one-third of the population of Europe. Venice stipulates that ships must be quarantined for 40 days. The Italian word 40 is written as quaranta, which later became the English word "quarantine".
However, the unparalleled reproductive capacity is not the reason why the mouse is the first of the twelve zodiac signs, because there are several other animals that have the same reproductive capacity as the mouse and are countless times more famous than the mouse, such as bees. The egg-laying capacity of a queen bee can reach 3,000 eggs a day at most.
3. The five reasons that are widely circulated among the people that led to the mouse becoming the first of the twelve zodiac signs are not convincing
Some people compare the twelve zodiac signs of the Chinese nation with the twelve constellations popular in the West, hoping to find some clues, but the comparison is disappointing. The twelve zodiac signs and the twelve constellations are two different systems. The symbols of the twelve constellations are mostly constellations and mythological figures, and the symbols of the twelve zodiac signs are mostly live poultry and animals. The twelve constellations start from the spring equinox in March every year, and the twelve zodiac signs start from the first day of the first month of the coldest month every year. It is inappropriate to use the twelve constellations to answer the connotation of the twelve zodiac signs.
So many famous scholars in Chinese history must know this, but they really don't understand why the Chinese ancestors listed the mouse as the first of the twelve zodiac signs? Therefore, they tried to summarize the reasons why the mouse became the leading zodiac sign in the twelve zodiac signs into the following five aspects.
a. Far-fetched legend--Eating wax caused the mouse to become the first of the twelve zodiac signs
Some documents say that the mouse gnawed the candle and found gunpowder hidden in the candle. It was said that the enemy of Huangdi hid it and wanted to harm Huangdi. The mouse saved Huangdi's life. Huangdi listed the mouse as the first of the twelve zodiac signs to show gratitude. This far-fetched legend is in vain and cannot be taken seriously.
b. The legend of the cat--The time caused the mouse to become the first of the twelve zodiac signs
The twelve hours in China are Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai, and each hour corresponds to two hours now.
Since the Han Dynasty, China has used the twelve earthly branches to record the twelve hours of a day. There are twenty-four hours in a day, and each hour is two hours. The ancients said that in the zodiac, each animal represents an hour. Ox, rabbit, snake, sheep, chicken, pig, even numbers are listed, tiger, dragon, horse, monkey, dog, odd numbers are listed (rat is not included).
Rat, near midnight, comes out and bites a gap in the chaotic state between heaven and earth. This is "rat bites the sky open". Scholars in China explain the relationship between earthly branches and zodiac from the perspective of the twelve hours of day and night. After the sky is opened, the earth must be opened. The earth was opened in Chou, and then there were cows plowing the fields... and then extended to the twelve earthly branches, and the twelve earthly branches were linked to the common animals in our lives for easy memory. For example, 2019 is the year of Hai, and also the year of the pig. Once this is said, everyone will know it.
This order is unreasonable. Where are our domestic cats? The rat was eaten by the cat hiding on the side before it could bite a crack in the chaos between heaven and earth. How could the ancients be so stupid as to choose such an incapable animal as the first of the zodiac? In addition, the twelve earthly branches were only used to record the twelve hours of a day in the Han Dynasty. So, before the Han Dynasty, what was the position of the rat in the zodiac of every 10 years?
c. The legend that the front and back toes of the zodiac animals are different from those of the cat family - the claws made the rat the first of the twelve zodiac animals
In order to properly correspond the twelve zodiac animals with the twelve earthly branches, the ancients took great pains. The twelve zodiac animals correspond according to the odd and even toes of the toes. Odd-toed animals are yang, and even-toed animals are yin.
We have seen the claws of cows and pigs. They are round hooves, divided in half in the middle, with two small auxiliary toes. Generally speaking, cows and pigs have four fingers on their hooves, rabbits have four fingers on their hooves, chickens have three relatively long fingers in the middle of their hooves, and a shorter finger next to them. Sheep also have four fingers on their hooves. The snake's tongue is also split in the middle and divided into two. Before degeneration, it had four toes. Therefore, the hooves or claws of these animals are all even numbers.
Dragons really existed in ancient times. The Qing Dynasty Code Map records that five claws are dragons, four claws are pythons, horses' hooves are not divided in half, but one, monkeys have five fingers, dogs and tigers have five fingers on one claw, so the fingers of these animals are all odd numbers.
They believe that the reason why the rat was chosen as the first of the twelve zodiac signs is because of the above reason. According to the concept of yin and yang, the twelve animals are divided into yin and yang categories, and the numbers of odd and even numbers of toes on the animals' feet are used to rank them. The rat has four front legs and five back legs, and they have the same odd and even numbers. Rare things are precious, so the rat is ranked first.
This ranking is also unreasonable. Counting the claws of the rat, it is just that the thumb is short, not that there are only 4 claws. For example, elephants have 5 toes on each forelimb and only 4 toes on the hind limbs. For example, cats have 5 toes on the front paws and only 4 on the back paws. There is no trace of the fifth toe degeneration. In nature, there are many four- and five-legged animals with different front and back toes. Why didn't the ancients choose other animals such as elephants and cats as the first of the twelve zodiac signs?
In addition, from the time of Fuxi to the early time of Nuwa, there was a calendar that used ten months to represent a year. Even in the time of Huangdi, this ten-month calendar was still widely used, and it was not until the time of Tang Yao that it was adjusted. In this ancient calendar, the beginning of the year was on the first day of the first lunar month, and the Spring Festival was also on the first day of the first lunar month. There were ten months in a year, and a month had 36 days. After 10 months, it was 360 days, and the remaining 5 days were used for the New Year.
Fuxi, Nuwa, Huangdi, Tang Yao Before the Han Dynasty, a year was represented by 10 months. It is conceivable that there was no practice of using the twelve earthly branches to record the 12 hours of a day at that time. According to the logic of the odd and even numbers of toes, the positions of the twelve zodiac animals could not be arranged at that time. Which position did the rat rank?
In addition to the above versions of the story, there are also fantastic stories:
d. A legendary story that cannot be taken seriously - a race led to the mouse becoming the first of the twelve zodiac animals
Huangdi wanted to select 12 animals to serve as guards, and stipulated that first come first served. The old cow ran fast and soon came to the first place. The mouse ran slowly, so it secretly climbed onto the horns of the old cow, and when the old cow reached its destination, it jumped off the horns and became the first. The tiger and the dragon were dissatisfied and were named the king of the mountains and the king of the sea, ranking behind the mouse and the cow... All the zodiac animals competed and finally ranked. This is the legendary story of the order of the twelve zodiac animals.
e. Myth story involving the Jade Emperor - Birthday celebration led to the mouse becoming the first of the twelve zodiac signs
The Jade Emperor celebrated his birthday and decided to select 12 animals in the order of reporting as heavenly guards. The cat was sleepy, so he knocked on the mouse's door and asked the mouse to wake it up and go together. The mouse agreed, but in the early morning of that day, the mouse quietly set out and arrived at the river. The mouse took advantage of the moment when the cow swam into the water and jumped into the cow's ear. The cow carried the mouse to the Jade Emperor's door. The mouse jumped out of the cow's ear and came to the Jade Emperor first, winning the first place.
4. The real reason why the mouse became the first of the twelve zodiac signs is that the mouse made great contributions to the survival of the Chinese nation on the earth
The above five reasons for "why the mouse became the first of the twelve zodiac signs" are all "taken for granted". In China, a fixed "explanation" pattern has been formed. Although this "explanation" is untenable, there is no better explanation, and most people just follow the crowd.
The real reason why rats became the "first of the twelve zodiac signs" is "food". What is the biggest problem for people to go to a new place? Eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating. After the Chinese people floated to the earth, the biggest problem they encountered was also food.
In the article "Why did dinosaurs become extinct", we talked about how the Chinese people tried to eat a lot of food at that time, including dinosaur meat and other animal meat, fish in the water, and fruits in the mountains. Today's scientific common sense tells us that in this world, there is no kind of meat and vegetable food that can be eaten regularly, and no kind of meat and vegetable food can fill the stomach, except for a kind of food called carbohydrates, that is, rice, wheat, corn and other grains.
Rat, among the twelve zodiac signs, eats unique food: grains and cereals. Among the twelve zodiac signs, other animals: cows eat grass, tigers eat meat, rabbits eat grass, dragons eat meat, snakes eat meat, horses eat grass, sheep eat grass, monkeys eat fruits, chickens eat omnivores, dogs eat feces, and pigs eat omnivores. The food they eat is not suitable for humans to eat regularly.
Among the twelve zodiac animals, only rats eat carbohydrates, rice, grains, wheat and other grains. It can be said that in ancient times, rats, with their instincts, let humans discover the food that allowed them to survive on the earth.
Why do humans have to eat carbohydrates every day, that is, rice, wheat, corn and other grains? Because one-third of the energy of the human body comes from carbohydrates, and staple foods rich in carbohydrates provide the human body with three major energies. The energy of the heart needs carbohydrates, and the burning of muscles needs carbohydrates. Carbohydrates play a key role.
Why can't humans eat only meat every day? Because the harm caused by eating only meat every day is very obvious to the human body. If humans only eat meat every day, even if they only eat a few ounces, the mortality rate is one-quarter higher. Only consuming meat will not only increase the burden on the kidneys, but also cause fatty liver, obesity, hypertension and other diseases.
When they first arrived on Earth, relying on rats, humans had their own staple food--carbohydrates, which allowed them to survive on Earth. All nations in the world worship rats to a greater or lesser extent. It was rats that kept them alive. The ancestors of the Chinese nation are grateful to rats.
The rat has made great contributions to the survival of the Chinese nation on the earth. As an emotional animal, the ancestors of the Chinese nation, who else could they choose if not the rat as the first of the twelve zodiac signs?
5. "Rat" has a high status in the minds of ancient Chinese and ancient cultural people
Rat has a high status in the minds of Chinese cultural people. When the word "rat" was first created, it was of a very high generation. It not only refers to rats, but also to other things. "Shuowen Jiezi" says: Rat is the general name of burrowing insects. It is pictographic. All rats are derived from rats. "Rat" was a "general name" for a large class of animals at that time. Today, in Chinese characters, there are many different animals with "rat" as the radical, and some are not rodents to which rats belong. Rat has a special meaning in the minds of ancient people.
The ancients believed that "rat" represented "yang energy" and the cave where "rat" lived represented the place where life was born. It was said that "mysterious and mysterious, the door to all wonders". In "Zhou Li", there was an official called "Xueshi": Xueshi was in charge of attacking hibernating beasts, and each used its own things to burn them, and regarded them as a symbol of the mystery of the earth. In the Wa myth "Sigangli", there is a narrative of "we are led by rats", praising rats living in caves and starting humans to discover the source of survival.
Xuanzang's "Da Tang Xiyu Ji" also mentioned the legend of rat soil tombs, emphasizing that the rat king has supernatural powers. "Zhuangzi·Yingdiwang" further stated: rats burrowed deep under the sacred hill to avoid the danger of smoke and chisel.
Xue Fucheng's "Yong'an Notes" in the late Qing Dynasty recorded: Northerners regarded foxes, snakes, hedgehogs, rats and weasels as gods of wealth. People dared not offend these five animals when they saw them.
Today's archaeologists have discovered exquisitely carved rat-headed insect-shaped jade in the remains of the Hongshan culture 6,000 years ago.
In India, the mount of the twelve zodiac animals, which is known as the "master of all obstacles" and "overcomer of obstacles", is also a rat. The rat is a god worshipped by Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. The reason why the rat appears in the twelve zodiac animals of India is that it embodies a certain decisive power. What else could this power be besides food?
Vietnam has twelve zodiac animals, and the rat is also the first one. It is the same as the Chinese zodiac animal, and the "cat" replaces the "rabbit". They are: rat, ox, tiger, cat, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog, pig.
Japan has twelve zodiac animals, and the rat is also the first one. The pig is a wild boar, and the cat replaces the rabbit. They are: rat, ox, tiger, cat, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog, wild boar.
Thailand has twelve zodiac animals, and the order is different from that of the Chinese nation. They are: snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog, pig, rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon.
India has twelve zodiac animals, and rat is the first one. There are two differences from the Chinese nation: "lion" replaces "tiger", and "sparrow" replaces "chicken", which are: rat, ox, lion, cat, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, sparrow, dog, pig.
Egypt has twelve zodiac animals, which are: ox, goat, monkey, donkey, crab, snake, dog, cat, crocodile, flamingo, lion, eagle.
The Mayans have 12 zodiac animals, the Greeks have 12 zodiac animals, and the Sumerians have 12 zodiac animals. The fifth one is the dragon.
Why is the rat the first of the twelve zodiac animals? The reason is that the rat, with its instinct, allowed humans who floated into the earth to find the food that allowed them to survive on the earth. The rat is the benefactor of the Chinese ancestors. The theory of the earth enclosure explains this conclusion today. I hope you know the correct answer from this.
