Through the previous introduction of the Chinese zodiac, I think you have a very comprehensive understanding of the origin and culture of the Chinese zodiac, as well as the meaning behind each zodiac. In fact, each zodiac has its own guardian deity, let's take a look at it next!

The zodiac culture (sheng xiao wen hua) involves the relationship between people and themselves, between people and nature, between people, and between people and society.

生肖龙(sheng xiao long), There are many theories about the origin of the dragon. Wen Yiduo infers that the clan with the snake as the totem has successively merged many other totem clans, forming a "dragon totem with the snake as the main body, with the head of the horse, the tail of the hyena, the horn of the deer, the claws of the dog, the scales and whiskers of the fish".

An story called the "Great Race" tells that the Jade Emperor decreed that the years on the calendar would be named for each animal in the order they reached him. Cat drowned and failed to be in the zodiac.

生肖兔(sheng xiao tu), The legend of Chang'e running to the moon originates from the "Huainan son. Watching the Ming training". Chang'e is accompanied by a jade rabbit in the middle of the month.
