Gengzi is one of the first branches of the lunar calendar, with a cycle of sixty years, which is called the stem branch of the lunar calendar. Stems: In the literal sense, it is equivalent to a tree trunk and branches. In ancient China, the heavens were the mainstay, the earth was the subordinate, the connection between heaven and the stem was called the heavenly stem, the earth and the branch were called the earth branch, and together it was called the heavenly dry branch, referred to as the dry branch. It is worth mentioning that at the same time, the year of Gengzi is also the name of the Western Liang Kingdom, (400-404) the era name of the Western Liang Wu Zhaowang in the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms era.

< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the ancient and modern different views of "rats" ranking first</h1>
1. The theory of yin and yang
The ancients divided the twelve hours from day to night into yin and yang. In the Ming Dynasty, a scholar named Lang Ying made inferences based on the activity time of animals, that is, the habits of animals. He believes in the "Seven Types of Revisions" that during the day and night, the sub-hour (23:00 midnight to 1:00 a.m.), the night is the darkest, the mouse is the most active, and the "child" is matched with the mouse; the ugly time (1:00 to 3:00 a.m.), other animals are so on.
2. "Rats" are given a mythological color
In traditional Chinese culture, the zodiac is not only twelve animals, but also given the status of gods, with different symbolic meanings. Rats have the habit of stealing grain, and the trouble in the family shows that "there is surplus grain in storage", which is a symbol of family wealth and a good omen. Because the sound of rats eating grain is very similar to the sound of counting money, there is also the saying "money rat", which is also considered to be an auspicious sign.
Mice have a keen sense of smell, very timid and suspicious, dexterous, very strong survival ability, can eat anything, and have a strong reproductive ability, a litter can give birth to up to 24, a female mouse can give birth to about 500 mice a year.
3. Folklore
A long time ago, the matter of the zodiac was under the control of the four heavenly kings, and what was the surname of the deacon's heavenly king at that time, the genus of the newborn person was what it was. Coupled with the emphasis on animal beliefs in the human world, it is believed that animals are spiritual, such as cat chanting, rabbit worship, dog house, dragon and snake to control water, monkey town mountain, cattle and horses ploughing the field, pigs and sheep for human consumption, etc. The Jade Emperor set a date, and whoever came earlier on that day could be ranked in the "Zodiac".
Cat and Mouse are still a pair of good friends, but Mouse knows that it is difficult to win, so he uses his brain. On the morning of the day when the regulations arrived at the Heavenly Palace, the little mouse quietly got up, did not go to call the cat, and secretly jumped on the horn of the old cow to hide itself, and the most resilient and diligent cow took himself to the Heavenly Palace, and the old cow was indeed the first to rush to the gate of the Heavenly Palace. At dawn, the four heavenly kings had just opened the gate of the Great Palace, and before the cattle could lift their hooves, the little mouse jumped down from the horns and went straight to the Great Hall of the Heavenly Palace. Although the Jade Emperor was reluctant to name this little mouse as a zodiac sign, Jun had no joke. Since then, cats and mice have formed a great vendetta, and when they see mice, they will chase and bite, becoming enemies for generations.
4. It is related to its own body shape
The Song Dynasty scholar Hong Xun wrote a book called Gu Manlu, arguing that the shape of animals determines their order. Zi, Yin, Chen, Noon, Shen, Shu Ju Yang (Masculine Branch), the zodiac signs are selected according to the odd and even number of toes of these animals. Mouse forefoot four toes, hindfoot five toes, posture strange, even are quite special, so in the first place, in order, cow (four toe), tiger (five toe), rabbit (four toe), dragon (five toe), snake (no toe tongue puppet), horse (single hoof), sheep (four toe), monkey (five toe), chicken (four toe), dog (five toe), pig (four toe).
Such an explanation, starting from the posture and habits of animals, to explore their connection with the hour seems to have a certain truth, but it does not explain why the hour should be matched by animals. In addition, such an explanation permeates the theory of yin and yang, and it overshadows the zodiac with a mysterious color.
