Li Han thought so in his heart, and then suddenly heard a bear child shouting "Brother Han".

When I looked back, I saw a group of bear children in the village running over from a distance with their schoolbags on their backs.

It seems that the bears are back from school. Seeing Li Han, the bear children were all very happy.

After the bear children ran closer, a bear child named Dongzi said: "Now that Brother Han is here, we can ask Brother Han directly about that question just now." ”

Another bear child named Ryoko said, "Okay, they all say that you are wrong, but you still don't believe it." ”

"Huh?" Li Han wondered, "What is the problem? Did you two just argue about something?"

Dongzi nodded and said, "Brother Han, did you say that there is a 'sheep' in the zodiac?"

"Zodiac?" Li Han understood, and said with a smile: "Are you just arguing about whether there are sheep in the zodiac?"

Dongzi said: "Yes, Brother Han. I said that there are no sheep in the zodiac at all, but Ryoko said that there are sheep. ”

Liangzi said at this time: "Originally, I have an aunt who belongs to sheep." ”

Dongzi said: "Then you must be misremembering. ”

Liangzi said: "No." ”

The two little ones fought again. Li Han is a little embarrassed, a child is a child, and he can fight for any problem.

However, it is not surprising that the two little ones would quarrel over this.

Because, it's normal for someone to get it wrong.

The 12 zodiac signs, everyone knows and feels that they know the 12 zodiac signs very well.

But if you really want to say all the twelve animals, not necessarily how many people can say it completely without looking at the data.

It feels familiar, but it doesn't have to be that way.

For example, I suddenly ask you, is there a sheep in the zodiac?

There will be a lot of people who are not sure and say, "There should be." ”

Or, equally uncertainly, "Doesn't seem to have one." ”

This is true for adults, let alone two little ones.

Li Handu thought carefully for a while before saying, "Dongzi, you are wrong about this question. There are indeed sheep in the Chinese zodiac. ”

"Yay!" Ryoko cheered, "I'll just say yes." How's it going? You know you're wrong, right?"

Dongzi said: "Brother Han, there are really sheep, why don't I have any impression!"

Li Han smiled: "Of course it's true, behind the horse is the sheep." ”

Dongzi muttered, "Okay. ”

Next, Liangzi was proud, Dongzi was depressed, and the two little guys had completely different expressions, which made Li Han look a little funny.

However, when it comes to the 12 zodiac signs, it is indeed very interesting.

Looking at the bears, Li Han said: "We just said that there are indeed sheep in the zodiac. Now I'm going to ask you one more question. ”

Hearing Li Han say this, the children all looked at Li Han in an instant, looking very interested.

Ryoko is no longer proud, and Dongzi is no longer depressed.

Li Han said: "Do you tell me that there are cats in the zodiac?"

Cat?

The bear children all looked positive, and after a long while, Dongzi said, "Probably not." Right? Brother Han. ”

Ryoko said, "It seems to be, and it doesn't seem to be." I don't know about this. ”

The rest of the bear children said yes, some said no, and some said they didn't know.

After the bear children chattered for a while, Li Han said: "This time, it is Dongzi, Xiao Tong, and Xiao Gu that you are right. There are no cats in the zodiac. ”

"Yay!" this time it was Dongzi, Xiao Tong, and Xiao Gu who cheered.

Li Han smiled and continued to ask, "So, do you know why there are no cats?"

Why?

At this moment, all the bear children were only stunned with wide eyes.

How do they know why? They never even think about it.

Of course, they don't know why it's normal.

Because, it's not just them. In fact, all the people don't know why?

Because, the formation of the zodiac signs has been very long. It is impossible to verify when it began to originate?

It can only be traced back to the pre-Qin period, and there is already a relatively complete zodiac system.

Then by the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were already zodiac documents that were exactly the same as the current zodiac signs.

Such a long-ago thing, who knows why there are no cats?

I can only guess scientifically, and that should be because when the zodiac was formed, there was no such animal as a domestic cat.

Because the domestic cat was introduced to China later, it must be later than the period when the zodiac was formed.

So, this may explain why there are no cats in the zodiac?

But that only explains why there are no cats?

It can only be speculated that the origin of the zodiac signs is related to the worship of animals in that period.

These twelve animals are the twelve animals that people worship, so that the zodiac signs are gradually formed.

Of course, why are the zodiac animals the 12 animals? Although there is no scientific explanation.

However, it can be explained by something called "myths and legends".

No one knows why, but in the world of myths and legends, or in the cultural world of the zodiac, there is a reason for it.

Those reasons are also often very interesting and have shaped various cultures about the zodiac.

In previous lives, there were very rich records of the culture and legends of the 12 zodiac signs.

There are many records in historical documents, as well as a lot of legends that have been circulated among the people.

Since the formation of these legends, after the continuous processing of people in different periods, it can be said that the resources have been quite abundant to this day.

However, this was in a past life.

This is not the case in this world.

I don't know why, the legends and culture about the zodiac in this world have very few to this day.

Li Han suspects that at a certain time in history, for some special reason, there was a fault in the inheritance of legends and cultures about the zodiac.

In other words, there was a break in the process of circulation.

Just like Zhuo Wenjun's "Baitou Yin" before, and the story of Liang Zhu have not been handed down.

Why are there no cats in the zodiac? There is a legend that has been widely circulated in the past life, which perfectly explains this problem.

However, there doesn't seem to be that legend in this world.

Maybe it never happened, or maybe it was interrupted at some point in history.

This is undoubtedly a very regrettable thing.

Li Han inadvertently learned about such a situation before, but he didn't think too much about it at the time, and then gradually forgot about it.

Now, listening to the bear children arguing about the issue of the zodiac, Li Han suddenly remembered it again.

This is also the reason why he asked, why is there no cat in the zodiac?

Now that you remember, let's tell the children about that legend.

It's like telling a funny story to the kids.
