There is a song at the beginning: Brother Zui, why do they all say that you are an incomplete person?

The story about the zodiac is a very interesting topic. The stories mentioned here include myths, legends and allusions. In the ranking of the zodiac, why do mice rank first with their younger generation? First of all, this question puzzles the sages of mankind and the wise men of today: in terms of size, the mouse is so small that people can hold it in the palm of their hands and play with it. It is the smallest of the 12 zodiac signs. ; On brute force, it can hardly be compared with the strength of cattle, the fierceness of tigers, the divine power of dragons and the prancing of horses. In terms of quality, the steadfastness of cattle, the kindness of rabbits, the diligence of horses, the meekness of sheep and the reality of pigs are all many times better than those of mice. On wisdom again, the cleverness of monkeys and the cleverness of dogs are above that of mice. To say the least, even if snakes are the most vicious, I'm afraid they have to be in front of mice. But the fact is that the little mouse is the first in the zodiac! This problem is still an unsolved case. Some people say that the legal newspaper probably has only one explanation: the guy who ranks the zodiac is a corrupt official, taking bribes and bending the law. He accepted the huge interests of the mouse, made a power and money transaction, and put the first gold crown on the head of a little mouse without virtue and talent. This is of course just a far-fetched joke. But it is true that human beings have never found a convincing explanation for this. However, human beings are, after all, the smartest advanced animals among animals. Many years after the zodiac was confirmed, people finally made up a folk story that may be self-deceiving and self-explanatory, so as to explain why rats rank first in the zodiac. This story called "the biggest mouse" is spread in the Central Plains of Hunan and Hubei. After the mouse, cow, horse and sheep were elected as the zodiac, the mouse said, "I should be the first." Cattle, horses and sheep were unconvinced and said, "Why do you rank first?" The mouse said, "I am old, so I want to be the first." Niu Ma and others couldn't help laughing: "Are you as old as us?" The mouse said, "We don't count when we argue, so let others speak." Cattle, horses, sheep, etc. Everyone agrees to let people comment. So they discussed ways: led by cows, horses, sheep and mice, they walked through the streets one by one to see what people said. In the street, a cow came and people said, "This cow is very strong." When the horse came, people said, "This horse is really tall." When the sheep came, people said, "This sheep is very fat." Finally, the mouse swaggered towards me. When people saw a big mouse suddenly coming out of the street, they all chased it and shouted, "What a big mouse! What a big mouse! " In this way, cows, horses and sheep have nothing to say, and mice rank first. In addition, there is a similar story about the ranking of the twelve genera among the people. There is also an interesting story about how the zodiac signs are arranged: at the beginning of chaos, just after heavenly stems and earthly branches, the Jade Emperor ordered the gathering of all the animals in the world, and selected the zodiac signs according to the twelve branches of purple, ugly, yin, wool, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai. After the news came out, it alarmed two good friends, Flower Cat and Mouse. The flower cat said to the mouse, "I will be elected in heaven at five tomorrow." I have a problem with sleepiness. Please call me then! " The mouse repeatedly said, "OK, OK!" " But the next morning, the dishonest mouse got up secretly and left without saying goodbye. On this day, Yunnan, the beast in Lingxiao Hall, began to be selected. According to the difference between heaven and earth, the Jade Emperor selected twelve kinds of land and water animals, including dragon, tiger, ox, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog, pig, rabbit, snake and mouse, as the zodiac. The rooster had two beautiful horns at that time and was also included in the beast. The Jade Emperor was about to give up his seat for them when he saw the black raccoon pig coming out. Although it is stupid, it likes to make trouble. It said, "Since the Jade Emperor has chosen a leader, I am willing to share your worries, be a just person and arrange my brothers in turn." The Jade Emperor was overjoyed. He told the pig to be selfless and cut off contacts, so he retired from the DPRK. As soon as the Jade Emperor left, the zodiac became a pot of porridge. At the beginning, everyone unanimously elected a gentle and generous workhorse to sit in the first place. Even the mighty tiger and black dragon respected it and agreed. However, the mouse curled up in the corner appeared and protested. It says, "I have a large number. If you don't believe me, let's race on the earth and listen to the opinions of the people. " So, the cow and the mouse came to the street in the city center. When the cow passed through the crowd, people didn't respond. At this time, the mouse "whistled" and climbed onto the cow's back to make a standing pile. People in the street shouted, "What a big mouse!" By the time people took out sticks to hit them, the mouse had run away. When the mouse came back to brag, all the animals were keen on cows. Only the black pig is secretly happy. It feels that only in this way, no matter how big or small, it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad, so it may be an impostor and it also benefits from it. So, with a stroke of a pen, it picked the mouse first and put the old cow behind. This annoyed the tiger and the black dragon. They shouted loudly and made all the animals tremble. Many animals are busy.
