called rat ? Why can everyone beat the thief head and thief head rank first among the twelve zodiac signs? What virtue can you do! The reason why the zodiac rat became the first of the twelve zodiac signs: In ancient China, the twelve hours from day to night were divided into yin and yang. The rat appeared at night and did not return to his nest until dawn. Therefore, there is a saying that "the rat bites the sky and opens the sky", saying that it is because the rat bites the gap in the night and the genius lights up, so the rat ranks first among the twelve zodiac signs. This is also the judgment made by the ancients on the objective understanding of the world and everything. It has to be said that the ancients were so wise.
The first of the twelve zodiac signs, the rat belongs to water in the five elements. That is to say, when the chaos in heaven and earth is first divided, the sky is generated at midnight. If there is no drainage, the chaotic energy will not be separated. Rats are animals that consume things. At this long night, it is the time when the mice are most active and powerful, so they are born in the year of the rat. At the same time, the 11th month of the lunar calendar is also called Zi month. Legend has it that the mouse and the cat were friends, and they had agreed to go to the Heavenly Palace to fight for the zodiac sign together. After the mouse quietly got up, it did not wake up the cat, so it secretly went to the Heavenly Palace and used all its means to win the first place. The cat held a grudge against the mouse from then on. The two have also become irreconcilable enemies.
