The Myth Story of China Zodiac Chicken Chicken ranks 10th among China Zodiac Animals. Because every day from 5 pm to 7 pm (that is, at sunset), the chicken will go back to its nest for the night, so the twelve branches of the chicken belong to you.
Chicken is the only animal among poultry that is listed in the zodiac. Why did you put the chicken into the zodiac alone? This is all because of the chicken's competitive personality. It is said that when the Jade Emperor awarded the Zodiac, he only considered animals that contributed to human beings, and poultry chickens were not ranked at all. One day, King Chicken saw that the horse which had been named the Zodiac was loved by people, wearing a gold saddle and silver stirrups. He was very envious. Ma Kaidao said: "It is not difficult to get people's love, as long as you can give full play to your strengths and do something for people." You were born with a good voice. If you use it well, you may make a contribution to mankind. "When the chicken king came home and pondered, he finally thought of waking up the sleeping people with his golden voice at dawn. So, at dawn every day, the chicken king gets up early, sings loudly and wakes people up from their sleep. People are very grateful to the chicken king. However, at that time, the jade emperor's standard for sealing the zodiac was only animals, not birds, and he was anxious about the king of chickens. One night, the chicken couldn't figure it out. A wisp of ghosts flew to the Heavenly Palace and cried in front of the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor thought it over carefully. The contribution of the Chicken King was not small, and the criteria for choosing the zodiac were really wrong. So he picked a red flower around him and put it on the head of the Chicken King to show comfort and reward. King Chicken woke up and found that there was really a big red flower on his head, so he wore it to see the four heavenly kings. The four heavenly kings realized that this was the jade emperor's "royal red flower", so they made an exception and let the chicken king compete for the seats in the zodiac.
On the day of the Lunar New Year, chickens and dogs get up at the same time and take a walk together. As we approached the Temple of Heaven, the chicken was afraid that the dog would take the lead and flew in front of the dog. When the dog came to his senses, he suddenly looked up and saw that the chicken was already sitting in the tenth place of the zodiac! Helpless, the dog had to sit behind the rooster. Since then, dogs have no affection for chickens, and they chase them when they see them. Until today, the dog Yu Nu has not disappeared, and the phenomenon of "dogs driving chickens away" is still visible. And the chicken, though still wearing a big red flower, is always ashamed of the dog, so the chicken always blushes every day in Chen Si.
The story of the origin of China Zodiac chicken;
Chicken ranks tenth in the zodiac, belonging to the twelve earthly branches, so it is also called "chicken time" at thirteen o'clock-from five to seven in the afternoon. Yi hexagrams for "different for chicken".
King Chicken is a competitive guy, always making trouble and fighting (this virtue still exists today). When the jade emperor sealed the zodiac, he considered whether animals contributed to human beings, and of course he could not rank the king of chickens. One day, King Chicken was very envious when he saw that the horse that was sealed with the zodiac was loved by people. So he stepped forward and asked, "Brother Ma, what is your honor today?" Ma replied: "I usually plow and transport things, and I have made great contributions to mankind in wartime." Of course, I should be loved. " "It is not difficult to win people's love, as long as you can give full play to your advantages and do something for people," Ma said. Take animals that have been sealed with the zodiac as an example. Cattle can plow the fields, dogs can watch the door, pigs can feed people, dragons can rain, and you are born with a golden voice, which may be helpful to mankind. "
The chicken king came home, thought about it, and finally thought of waking up the sleeping people with his golden voice. So every day at dawn, the chicken king gets up early and sings loudly to wake people up from their sleep. People are very grateful for the contribution of the Chicken King, and decided to ask the Jade Emperor to make the Chicken a god as the Zodiac.
However, at that time, the standard for the Jade Emperor to seal the zodiac was that as long as the animals were not birds, horses, cows, sheep and dogs were all involved in the six animals, but there was no chicken, which made the chicken king very anxious. He shouted his neck with red eyes, but there was no result.
One night, the chicken king couldn't figure it out, tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep. A wisp of ghosts flew directly to the Heavenly Palace, came to the Jade Emperor's Hall and cried to the Jade Emperor. It is really incomprehensible that he wakes up all beings every morning and makes great contributions, but he is not allowed to be selected for the zodiac. Say that finish, tears flow down. As soon as the Jade Emperor thought about it, the contribution of the Chicken King was really great, and the standard for choosing the zodiac was really wrong. He picked a flower in front of the temple and put it on the Chicken King's head as a reward.
King Chicken woke up and found that there was really a red flower on his head, so he wore it to see the four heavenly kings. The four heavenly kings recognized that it was the jade emperor's "royal furnace red flower" and knew that the jade emperor valued the chicken king, so they made an exception and let the chicken king participate in the zodiac competition. On the day of competing for the zodiac, the chicken and the dog got up at the same time and went hand in hand. When approaching the Heavenly Palace, the chicken was afraid that the dog would be caught first, and even flew to the front. The dog was eager to catch up, but it never caught up. The result was behind the chicken. From then on, dogs have no good feelings for chickens, and they chase them when they see them. Until today, the phenomenon of "dogs driving chickens away" is still visible. As for the chicken, it still blushes every morning and wears a beautiful big red flower on its head.
5-7 pm (that is, "You Shi"). At this time, when the sun sets on the mountain, the chicken begins to sweep its nest in the cage and spend the night, so it belongs to the chicken.

The folklore story about chickens is about 200 words. Yang Guifei and "Princess Chicken"
"Princess Chicken" is a famous dish in Suzhou. Its practice is to choose the tender wings of broilers and stew them with mushrooms, mussels, tender bamboo shoots and green peppers. Princess chicken is characterized by bright colors, green, milky yellow, black and white, which are pleasing to the eye, fresh and tender to eat and fragrant. This is a rare delicacy.
Princess chicken, as can be seen from the name, must have a deep relationship with any princess. As it turns out, this imperial concubine is not a tightener, but Yang Yuhuan, who "as long as she turns her head and smiles, there will be a hundred spells, and the powder and paint in the sixth palace will go up in smoke".
About 1200 years ago, when Emperor Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty was in power. At the beginning of Li Longji's accession to the throne, Yao Chong and Song Jing were appointed to govern the country, which made the social and economic development of the Tang Dynasty reach its peak, which was called "the prosperous time of Kaiyuan" in history. However, in his later years, Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty was extremely fatuous, and the Tang Dynasty fell from the peak of development. Spoiling Yang Guifei is an important manifestation of his fatuity in his later years.
Yang Yuhuan was originally Li Longji who took a fancy to her, but she couldn't find a way to marry her and became a high-ranked imperial concubine. With Yang Guifei, Tang had fun with her all day and all night, and handed over state affairs to a group of traitors such as Li and Yang.
One day, Emperor Huang of the Tang Dynasty drank wine and sang a duet with Yang Guifei, which fascinated him. When he was drunk, he even shouted, "Good wine, good wine! Have fun! " Yang Guifei is also fascinated by the gods, crying and saying, "I want to fly to heaven!" " "Tang Huangming because drunk listen to wrong, thought that the imperial concubine to eat" flying ",immediately let the eunuch life chef to do it. After listening to the emperor's Oracle, the chefs looked at each other: I never said there was a dish called "Flying", but the emperor had a golden mouth. If you can say it, you have to do it. The chefs racked their brains. A chef said that the eagle flies high, which is probably "flying to the sky"! Hearing this, everyone quickly made two braised eagles. I tasted it and found that the eagle meat was sour! So the chefs began to think again. Among the chefs, there is a famous Suzhou chef named "Su Shoutou". He thinks chicken's muscle is the most tender and tender, and it must be delicious to fly to the sky with it. He told everyone his idea, and everyone had to do it when they heard it. They scrambled to find a few chickens, cut off their wings, stewed them with mushrooms, mussels, bamboo shoots and green peppers, and made them "fly to the sky". Everyone saw that this dish was delicious and delicious, so they decided.
The eunuch brought "Flying to Heaven" to the imperial concubine, and her eyes suddenly lit up when she woke up in the bar. Tang Huangming also tasted it and was amazed. He asked the eunuch what it was. Eunuch said quickly, this is your majesty just ordered "flying". At this time, Tang remembered the imperial edict that he was drunk now, and he was embarrassed. At this time, Yang Guifei, who was eating "flying to the sky" with relish, said: "This dish is bright in color, tender in meat and delicious, which is similar to my princess in Guiyang. Let's call it' the princess chicken'! " After listening to Tang, he even claimed to be kind.
Later, Su Xiong retired in his later years and brought the cooking method of "Princess Chicken" back to Suzhou. This dish was handed down from generation to generation in Suzhou.

What's the story of the zodiac chicken? Legend has it that this chicken has a comb and horns, which is very beautiful. At that time, dragons had no horns and nothing on their heads. So before the Jade Emperor decided on the ranking order of the zodiac, the dragon wanted to find a way to make himself beautiful, so he kowtowed to the rooster every day, saying that the rooster would be beautiful even if it had no horns, so he asked the rooster to lend him his horns. After listening to the dragon, the rooster lent his horn to the dragon and asked the centipede to testify. Later, at the Zodiac Festival, the rooster lost to the dragon, and he was very angry. He went to Long Yaojiao early in the morning. The dragon saw that the horns on his head were particularly beautiful and didn't want to give them back to the rooster. When he saw that the cock needed horns, he jumped into the water and hid. Because the rooster can't swim, he can only stand on the shore and call "Brother Long, give me back my horn". He gets up early every morning and crows over time (the rhythm is a bit like that). Later, the rooster went to the centipede to judge. Before the centipede actually accepted the benefits of the dragon, it was because the cock lost face by perjury in front of everyone, so the cock held a grudge against the centipede, so we can see that now the cock pecks like crazy every time he sees the centipede until the centipede dies.

Idiom stories and fable stories about chickens.
During the Warring States Period, Meng Changjun of Qi liked to attract all kinds of people as guests, claiming to be 3,000 guests. He is open to all guests. Those who are talented let them do their best, and those who are not talented also provide accommodation.
On one occasion, Meng Changjun led all the guests to the State of Qin. Zhao Haoqi of Qin kept him and wanted him to be prime minister. Meng Changjun didn't dare to offend Zhao Haoqi of Qin, so he had to stay. Soon, the ministers advised the king of Qin, saying, "It is not good for the king of Qin to keep Meng Changjun. He was born in the royal family, and he had fiefs and family members in the state of Qi. How can he really work for Qin? " Zhao Haoqi of Qin felt right, so he changed his mind and put Meng Changjun and his men under house arrest, just waiting for an excuse to kill them.
King Taizhao has a favorite concubine. As long as the concubine says one, Zhao Haoqi won't say two. Meng Changjun sent for her help. The princess agreed, on the condition that she would get a white fur coat (made of the hair under the armpit of the white fox) as a reward. This can be called Meng Changjun, because as soon as he arrived in Qin, he gave the white fur of this fox to Zhao Haoqi of Qin. Just then, a door said, "I can get the fox and the white fur!" " "Say that finish and left.
It turns out that this doorman is best at stealing dogs. He first learned the situation, knowing that Zhao Haoqi liked the fox fur coat so much that he couldn't bear to wear it for a while, so he put it in the exquisite storeroom of the palace. By moonlight, he escaped the patrol's eyes and easily got into the storage room to steal the fox hair. The princess was very happy to see the fox Bai Qiu. She tried to persuade Qin to give up the idea of killing and prepared to send him back to Qi in a few days.
Meng Changjun did not dare to wait for two days, and immediately led his men to ride eastward overnight. It was midnight when I arrived at Hanguguan (now Lingbao County, Henan Province, which was the east gate of Qin State). According to the law of Qin State, Hangu Pass is not opened until the cock crows every day. Why do chickens crow in the middle of the night? When everyone was worried, only a few "oh oh" cocks crowed, and then all the cocks outside the city crowed. It turns out that another public in Meng Changjun can crow like a chicken, and the chicken will crow as soon as it hears the first crow. Why do you crow before going to bed? Although the soldiers guarding the customs felt strange, they had to get up and open the door to let them out.
At dawn, Zhao Haoqi of Qin learned that Meng Changjun and his party had escaped, and immediately sent troops after them. I've been through Hangu Pass for a long time.
Meng Changjun fled back to Qi with the help of a confidant.

The story of castrating hens It is said that there is a scholar in Wuding County, Yunnan Province who wants to pay tribute, and there is only one hen at home. He was very angry and didn't want the hen at home to bring benefits to the landlord, so he thought of a way to make the hen never lay eggs again. A few months later, the landlord suddenly wanted to see the scholar, who was afraid and thought it was a hen, so he had to lie about his illness and stay at home. You can hide in the first day, but you can't hide in the fifteenth. The landlord sent someone to invite you. The scholar had to bite the bullet and go to see the landlord, who was overjoyed and asked him how he raised chickens. Why is it so delicious? The meat is tender and the soup has a long rhyme. The scholar explained the reason and the landlord ordered him to pay tribute every year. After that, castrating hens became the choice of royal banquet.
