Why do the old people often say that ten sheep and nine are incomplete, and when it comes to the heart, there are sheep in the family to come and see!
In fact, this old rural saying "ten sheep and nine incomplete" first came from King Wen of Zhou, who studied the I Ching Gossip in the Zhou Dynasty, which means that nine out of ten sheep are very happy, happy, and happy. In the process of circulation, it became "ten sheep and nine buddhas", because this "Buddha" we all know is not the meaning of negation, so that the transmission of ten and then ten hundred slowly became the "ten sheep and nine incomplete" that we now hear, and it is still very popular in society, especially in the countryside.
There is also a saying that the source of "ten sheep and nine incomplete" is because of political needs, Cixi belongs to the sheep, and at that time, in order to overthrow the rule of Empress Dowager Cixi, people looked for "nine evils" in Empress Dowager Cixi. Because the Xianfeng Emperor died of illness at the age of 26, coupled with the fact that the reputation of Empress Dowager Cixi was indeed not very good, there was a saying that it belonged to the sheep mistaken country, belonged to the sheep Kefu, and belonged to the fate of the sheep.
The sheep is one of the zodiac signs, and the source of the zodiac is the worship of animals. The earliest zodiac signs were used to indicate the twelve solar orientation times of the day, not to chronicle, let alone to be used as people's origins, so the statement that the life of the sheep is not good is completely nonsense and has no scientific basis.
The ancients regarded sheep as "virtuous animals", good herds, good benevolence, death righteousness, and knowledge of etiquette. The good flock refers to the sheep's liking to gather in groups; the good benevolence refers to the fact that the sheep do not like to fight even if they have horns; the death means that the sheep are quiet when they are slaughtered, and they regard death as a homecoming; and the zhili is an evaluation of the phenomenon of the lamb's kneeling. All kinds of data show that the ten sheep and nine incomplete are a kind of false rumors, in fact, every person who belongs to the sheep has good and bad, and the people who belong to the sheep are both kind and filial, enthusiastic and bold, and we should not arbitrarily deny the people who belong to the sheep just because of a misinformed word.
