Chapter 373 Children are arguing about the zodiac
Li Han thought this in his heart, and then suddenly heard a naughty child calling "Brother Han".
Looking back, I saw a group of naughty children in the village running over from a distance with their schoolbags on their backs.
It seems that the naughty children have come back from school. Seeing Li Han, the naughty children are all very happy.
After the naughty kids ran closer, a naughty kid named Dongzi said, "Now Brother Han is here, we just need to ask Brother Han directly for the question."
Another naughty child named Liangzi said, "Okay, everyone says you are wrong, but you still don't believe it."
"Hmm?" Li Han asked in confusion: "What's the problem? Are you two just arguing about what problem?"
Dongzi nodded and said, "Brother Han, do you think there is 'sheep' among the twelve zodiac signs?"
"The twelve zodiac signs?" Li Han understood and smiled, "You are just arguing about whether there are sheep among the twelve zodiac signs?"
Dongzi said: "Yes, Brother Han. I said there are no sheep in the twelve zodiac signs, but Liangzi just said there are sheep."
Liangzi said at this time: "I have it, I have an aunt who is born in the Sheep."
Dongzi said: "That must be because you remembered it wrong."
Liangzi said, "Not."
The two little guys started to fight again. Li Han smiled a little. Children are just children, and they can fight for any problem.
However, it is not surprising that two little guys will have a dispute over this.
Because, it is normal for someone to make mistakes.
Everyone knows the twelve zodiac signs, and they also feel that they know very well about the twelve zodiac signs.
But if you really want to say the twelve animals completely, without checking the information, there may not be many people who can say it completely correctly.
Everyone feels familiar with them, but in fact it may not be that way.
For example, I suddenly asked you, are there sheep among the twelve zodiac signs?
There will definitely be many people who say unsure, "It should be."
Or to say that it is equally uncertain, "It seems that there is no."
This is true for adults, let alone two little guys.
Li Han thought about it carefully for a while before saying, "Dongzi, you are wrong with this problem. There are indeed sheep among the twelve zodiac signs."
"Yeah!" Liangzi cheered, "I'll just say yes. How about it? Do you know you're wrong?"
Dongzi said, "Brother Han, do you really have sheep? Why don't I have any impression of it!"
Li Han smiled and said, "Of course there is really there, and there is a sheep behind the horse."
Dongzi muttered, "Okay."
Next, Liangzi was proud and Dongzi was depressed. The completely different expressions of the two little guys made Li Han a little funny.
However, when it comes to the twelve zodiac signs, it is indeed very interesting.
Looking at the naughty children, Li Han said, "We just said that there are indeed sheep among the twelve zodiac signs. Then I'll ask you another question now."
After hearing what Li Han said, the children all looked at Li Han in an instant, looking very interested.
Liangzi is no longer proud, and Dongzi is no longer depressed.
Li Han said: "Do you tell me that there are cats in the twelve zodiac signs?"
cat?
The naughty children all looked like they were thinking positively. After a while, Dongzi said, "It shouldn't be. Right? Brother Han."
Liangzi said, "It seems there is, but it seems there is no. I don't know this."
Some of the other naughty kids said yes, some said no, and some said they didn't know.
After the naughty children chattered for a while, Li Han said, "This time it's Dongzi, Xiaotong, Xiao Ku, you guys are right. There are no cats in the twelve zodiac signs."
"Yeah!" This time it was Dongzi, Xiao Tong, and Xiao Ku who cheered.
Li Han smiled and continued to ask, "So, do you know why there are no cats?"
Why?
Now all the naughty kids were stunned with their eyes wide open.
How could they know why? They never thought about this problem.
Of course, they don't know why it's normal.
Because, it’s not just them. In fact, everyone doesn’t know why? Li Han doesn’t know either.
Because the formation of the twelve zodiac signs has been very long. It is impossible to verify when did it originate?
It can only be traced back to the pre-Qin period that a relatively complete zodiac system existed.
Then by the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were already records of zodiac signs that were exactly the same as the current twelve zodiac signs.
For such a long time, who knows why there are no cats?
I can only guess more scientifically, that should be because when the twelve zodiac signs were formed, there was no animal like a domestic cat.
Because the period when domestic cats were introduced to China was later, it must be later than when the twelve zodiac signs were formed.
So, this may explain why there are no cats in the twelve zodiac signs?
However, this can only explain why there are no cats? In addition, those animals that do not have one cannot explain it.
It can only be speculated that the origin of the twelve zodiac signs is related to people's worship of animals during that period.
These twelve animals are the twelve animals that people worship, and thus gradually formed the twelve zodiac signs.
Of course, why are the twelve zodiac signs these twelve animals? Although it cannot be explained scientifically.
However, it can be explained by something called "myths and legends".
Why there is no cat? No one knows the reason, but in the world of myths and legends, or in the cultural world of the twelve zodiacs, there is a reason.
Those reasons are often very interesting and have formed various cultures about the twelve zodiac signs.
In previous lives, there were very rich records about the culture and legends of the twelve zodiac signs.
It has included various records in historical documents, as well as many legends circulating among the people, etc.
Since these legends were formed and were continuously processed by people from different periods, they have been passed down to this day, and their resources can be said to be quite rich.
However, this was in the previous life.
This is not the case in this world.
I don’t know why, but there are very few legends and cultures about the twelve zodiac signs in this world that have been passed down to this day.
Li Han suspected that at a certain period in history, due to some special reason, the legendary cultural heritage of the twelve zodiac signs had a fault.
In other words, there was an interruption during the process of circulation.
Just like Zhuo Wenjun's previous song "The Song of White-Heads" and Liang Zhu's story have not been passed down.
Why are there no cats in the twelve zodiac signs? There was a legend that was widely circulated in the previous life, which perfectly explained this problem.
However, there seems to be no legend in this world.
Maybe it has never happened, or it was interrupted at a certain period in history.
This is undoubtedly a very regrettable thing.
Li Han accidentally learned about such a situation before, but he didn't think too much at that time, and later he gradually forgot about it.
Now, listening to the naughty children arguing about the twelve zodiac signs, Li Han suddenly remembered again.
This is also why he asked why there are no cats among the twelve zodiac signs?
Since I remembered it, let’s tell the children that legend.
Just treat it as telling the children an interesting story.
