<wbr> <p> Only the heart doctrine <wbr> of mouse concept · www.thebeijingnews.com 2-10, 2008 12: 47: 46 · Source: Beijing News <wbr> </ p> <p> Why was a .mouse to the top of the Chinese zodiac? this question a lot of people want to do not understand. </ p> Now that is a topic that folkway natural to look for answers from folklore. Folk tales with a positive image of a reverse two .explains "the origin of rat boss": a tricky Parkour, a meritorious. Of course, "boss" is not a mouse in the folk culture of the only identity, mouse while playing a God, a fool and Mammon's role. Therefore, see .mouse never hurry to scream loudly, it might bring to you the new year and good luck! <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Accidental rat </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p .> 2008 as the year is in fact an accident, a settles a known accident. </ p> In addition to the old, had spread between the beginning and end of a past event the cause: <p> <wbr> </ p .> <p> Swire, God decided to make it all the livestock, to mark the audition process was the year of birth - the Zodiac is the time to come. </ p> Due to the enthusiastic applicants so much, God decided to use .a test for example to swim out of the 12 privileged PK. That was then satisfied are the players in the water, especially cats. It is similar with the mouse, ready to work together. Mouse hearts are beating up than yours: it too would .like to test the first place, but that the cat not thus became its closest competitor? so that morning, the mouse went straight to the examination room. But when the cat is at home in the WHIR slept. Till it big dream, things have .settled irretrievable. The cat is deeply humiliating, or waters; fury, it jumped to the given mouse flutter in the past, began a cat and mouse's eternal theme: hunted down and fled ... <p> The above plot desire but also explains .the three natural and human behavior: why do cats eat rats, why nature cats do not like swimming or even take a bath, as well as why the zodiac sign of the rat but not cat. </ p> Such interpretation contains everything a spirit ., not academics and all have modern science education of the clergy, but too long for the majority of Chinese people loved. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Another way, this also illustrates the folk stories just in our country .. </ p> This was not that other peoples no Zodiac, on the contrary, in the East and the many civilized countries equally to 12 specific animal signs birth date of conception, that is the concept of the Zodiac, zodiac animals, but there .is a specific list. For example, in Viet Nam has the Chinese zodiac, rat, ox, Tiger ... But they went a bit is the cat, but we are of the rabbit. Thus, Viet Nam has both a person and shushu .have cats - - just don't know that they will not be fighting could get married. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> There are more than a cat is Viet Nam. </ p> In Babylon, ranking .first in priority is a cat, not mice. In ancient Greece, the cat is in the eighth bit, not mice; and Greece after ancient Egypt of the Eastern Mediterranean, the situation is somewhat strangely, 8-bit is the mouse, there is .no cat, although cats there is a monster. This shows that we have no cat mouse Zodiac concepts, the world civilization is an occasional examples rather than necessity. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> <wbr> </ .p> <p> Oriental Prometheus </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Why can a mouse first HOS Zodiac? folk story of course also have to explain the mystery: who claims should be cattle in heaven .of a stabilization must in the first, but incompetence has cleverness of the mouse, it attached to the bull's tail, till the last Sprint of cattle, small rodents a grin, under pain of old cattle to tail, mouse sent across the finish, the .first hit. </ p> Another story, the rat jumped onto the old cow's horn, acceptable. People cry out: the greatest mouse! because majority of people have this kind of voice, so eventually, as we know it has become a leader .. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> These ideas are similar with the story before, depicting how despicable informs trickery and occupy the first place. </ p> But there are some vulgar letter but with our existing concepts in .different materials, they prove in animation before the arrival of the era, in fact, the mouse and not all are a pair of unethical, dangerous features. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> According to Zhejiang Lishui, places .such as tale of Jinhua, precisely because in those mice into the seeds so that stolen began with rice cultivation of human civilization. </ p> On this feature so the mouse can be drained away Zodiac of boss John Yun, and people have finished harvesting .the rice after leaving three strains to them for a living. Similar to the legendary North to the South of Shandong peninsula, to the ethnic Fujian, Guangdong Han in circulation. While in the southwest of Miao, Bai and Yi story, you tend to eat .the mouse rests with the original grain is they bite out of the chaotic help human ignorance of reward. Their furtive, greedy character is also considered to be the worst instincts of man from: "after the results were out, no credit, rats are everywhere .to steal food to eat. "Similar of the condemned in Shandong Qingcheng, Shanghai Chongming, Guangdong Chaozhou, etc. can also be heard. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Pumi nationality, Naxi, Lisu people even believe .that Moon is mouse stolen, it Assistant is the golden frog; spiders, flies or OWL, those subsequently mostly people do not like or contempt for life. </ p> Together they only calendar laborious world with light. There are similar in ancient books .. Qing Liu Xian-Ting the cradle the guangyang Miscellanies "also agree to similar concepts: rat bite chaos, then played the role of the open days, which is headed by a rat; next is the cow, that is because cattle can land, .the universe, with the world. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Visible, the mice in a heavenly and evolution are dressed with irreplaceable important Royal Sonesta, than Greece myth of Prometheus, AZ and. </ p> .As for the mouse all the shortcomings, perhaps to daode and clothing, contrary to dayItaly price. Prometheus district stole a fire that also tied Yong in Caucasus by piercing pain; mouse down than the dreadfulness of the image, greedy disposition, filthy habits, it .is nothing to torture. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> In Yunnan, jianchuan County heqing Bai there, on the mouse's appearance change has a detailed description: Legend of the initial human progenitor Greek girl and Peng shrimp is extremely .ugly, and they all put hair, skull as cattle head, mouth like pigs mouth, spitting out a pair of fangs, neck like Python neck, hands like white, bone like Tiger handheld ... </ p> Other animal sympathize with them ., each with its own body of organs, as they change appearance. Rats sacrificed their own skin, cattle used his head replaced him on the head ... The original mouse is the skin such as ningzhi, cattle is the sword eyebrow langmu, Eagle .or Dragon is a hand where the gentlest hands, pigs are the gear such as gourds, rhinoceros - baizu jianchuan heqing and witnessed the birth of the twelve animal sacrifices and without regret, as well as the history of human aesthetic. <p> < .wbr> </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> You envious rat's longevity? </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> On the mouse's tolerance and gratitude, a hidden .emotions, and common sense. </ p> From this perspective, it lives on in food, as well as in the zodiac sign of all human capabilities, can be regarded as a small reward and incentive. In fact, people sometimes have to resort .to Buddhism, the expression on the mouse. In Zhejiang Quzhou region, it is said that because the mouse do good deeds, the Maitreya Buddha gave the name. The "old" is the title, and to its numerous. <p> <wbr .> </ p> <p> Description of the mouse is also a thought-provoking indeed. </ p> In Wu, this awareness is increasing, it called for the "old bugs". Insect was once the ancient Chinese in the pan .on the species, including squamous cell, feathers, wool, a., bare 5 classes. Direct to "bug" in the name of the organism, Tiger only referred to as "cornered the rustler", is to let people are afraid of snakes ., in many places is called the "serpent". The importance of the mouse are also evident here. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Of course this is not conclusive. </ p> Sixteenth century monumental Materia provides .different interpretations: "(MUS), the longest of its longevity, commonly known as the mouse." And as early as the fourth century ad, the famous Taoist GE refers to an earlier one called the "Jade" reasons of ancient books, claiming .: "300-year-old rat shou, full color is 100 years old then." <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Don't you see Walter · Disney's early stages and Mickey Mouse also permanent youth. < ./ p> However, in the nature of the rare white mice - - if you see it, it was not stolen from the laboratory come out, then congratulations you rich. According to some mystery classics, "to mirror figure", "the spirit .should be recorded, the recording profile ", and so on, the NIH may not be true life, which is the soul of underground treasures. To not love Bo, underground treasure really charm, as" ear foot red, the Red orbit "around .the shape, the NIH, has smote it where Habitat, a shovel, there are hundreds of millions of Hebei province. However, please note it's ears and feet are not red, not all mice are so-called "possession of God", in .other words you dig the West with the East fruitless if no wonder these so the paper. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> In fact, often contradictory between the records of ancient books. </ p> Foregoing the Jade .strategy "said mice live a century later would become the NIH. But another book in the mysterious" called "to 100-year-old rats into bats". More ancient writings, Han Yang Xiong the dialect of records and which resonates: bats in .Kanto people there are two individual claims that one said, flying squirrels, one mouse. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Mouse and the relationship between the bat is a former Science times an interesting topic. </ p> .Allegory in the West often want to mingle with the claimed bat beasts team, they claim to be a mouse's cousin; but our legendary also stresses that the bat and mouse are Pangu when there is the ancient species, one of the only white bats at that .time had been alive to the Tang dynasty, into human form, claiming to be a piece of fruit and old ... Maybe Yang Xiong is right in the beginning of the universe, the mice and the bat is actually the same kind of animal - .anyway, it really is quite old. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> The first mouse folk thinking on both sides </ p> <p> <wbr> < ./ p> <p> Because the mouse shape and name, makes a pair in Chinese often fortunate with the opposites: "little mouse". </ p> But this is not the most exaggerated, Fujian, Guangdong Taiwan and will "in some .areas are called "rats" satisfied ". Rumors that the Jade Emperor had been ordained cat to the Chinese zodiac, but mouse trick overthrew the cat, named should be back to, from this is it. <p> <wbr> </ p .> <p> There are also so-called "rat cat" salutation, appeared in the notes to the harmonic catalogue: that someone love cats, originally called it the "tiger cat"; others encourage that Tiger as long, so called "My .Neighbor Totoro "; but some say the Dragon can easily be cloud masks, so called" cloud cat "; and that cloud the vulnerability of wind, the wind was wall block, more powerful than the wall is the mouse will make hole, then, .in turn, also called "wind cat" and "wall cat" and "rat cat"! </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> These contradictions and integrated concepts are concentrated in the mouse on this species ., probably not by chance, because we can cite more. </ p> First, and the "rat cat" on the appropriate structure a story, that the mouse's daughter, in line with the principle of millionaire, first proposed marriage to the Sun ., the Sun than clouds, cloud than wind ... Finally married to their own kind. According to the study of the comedy comes from India, but in China also is widely disseminated. Interestingly, in the South, there is another version of the .mouse in the end but a very different history, namely the mouse it refused the daughter eventually married the cat, the cat will be the bride with a pro-choice! team, and take it into his abdomen. Such a thing for rodent is a .tragedy, the cat is unexpected surprises, for giving people in terms of the story, but a farce and spectator in good taste. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> As noted earlier had </ p> Mentioned, the .attitude of people to the mouse also just pure hate and loathing: General view mouse waste food warehouse, observance of the human work, consumption home main property, and so on, so the North has more of a "mouse"; but the former see .NIH is the treasure of God. Guangdong have "money mouse" strokes "Choi, at Tian Jin had a rat a hedgehog as the God of faith. This idea also in Tibet, Tibetans have three Mammon, adjoins the salmonella days, black cloth huangbu .LU-LU King Kong and King Kong, their common characteristic is left hand holding the mouse, the mouse also called spit Po beast. While certain areas of the Han nationality that rats in person, the rats run away will wreck; part of the businessmen .think rats in money, which breaking its killing rat wealth; and traditional farmers think House mice is a symbol of affluence, a mouse suddenly leave, do not think, is the fire of Siu, etc. <p> <wbr> </ p .> <p> The mouse is the first person of hesitation, rat ends from folklore and cultural point of view of history, their interest may require consideration. </ p> And every new year is approaching wuzi: mouse over street, perhaps not everyone .will be unanimously after calling it for you. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> □ Zhu xuqiang (Ethnologist) </ p>.
