The symbolic meaning of cattle

What does "China's Cattle" symbolize? Please reward me: The cattle in China symbolize hard work, hard work and humiliation (but generally refer to the common southern cattle, and the cattle in the north are labor slaves, which farmers use to drive away. In fact, no matter what kind of cow, it should be a symbol of hard work. There is also yak, which is also a symbol of homosexuality. ) Strong and powerful … and other good qualities.

What does the cow symbolize? 2009 is an ugly year, belonging to the ox, which is called the Year of the Ox in the lunar calendar. Since ancient times, various symbolic stories, myths, customs and allusions endowed by China cattle culture have been widely circulated.

The first symbolic ancestor totem

Many countries and nations in the world worship cows as totems. For example, the ancient Egyptians and Persians regarded the bull as the ancestor of mankind. The Chinese nation, from ancient times to the present, worships Yandi and Huangdi as ancestors. According to textual research, Yan Di's ancestral home is Tiantai Mountain in Baoji, Shaanxi. According to Records of the Historian, Emperor Yan "started from Lieshan and lived there" and was the leader of the Jiang tribe. He lived in the early Yangshao culture in primitive society. According to Shan Hai Jing, the bull's head of Emperor Yan is actually the totem of his tribe. Therefore, the activities of ancient Qixi (an annual festival) are all related to the worship of cattle ancestors.

In China, there are still many ethnic groups who worship cows as totems. * * * People worship yaks as totems. According to Tibetan historical records, some ethnic origins of Tibetans come from the "ancient yak and Qiang". The ancient Qiang people were "yak species, and the more Qiang they were, the more they were"; Totem worship of Mangniu is also a belief of Mongolians. The History of Buryat in Mongolia written by Lombok also records the myth and legend about the Mongolian ancestor "Idugan mated with Emperor Mangniu when roaming Lake Baikal". As an ancestral totem, its cultural communication and folk influence are far-reaching. Nowadays, whether it is the well-preserved primitive rock paintings about yak theme in Tibetan areas, the cow head ornamentation carved on bronzes in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, or even the yak bronzes unearthed a few days ago, it can be traced back to the totem worship culture of ancient China people with cattle as their ancestors.

The second symbolic meaning: the myth of creation

The ancient Emperor Yan led the tribe to nomadic fishing and hunting along the northwest river, and then came to the Central Plains in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. He tasted grass with the smell of ox tongue, knew the valley with the sensitivity of ox eyes, and moved mountains and rivers with the strength of ox, which made indelible contributions to the development and progress of the Chinese nation. According to Shan Hai Jing, Yan Di's youngest daughter, Nu Wa, swam in the East China Sea and drowned. Later, she turned into a bird of Jing Wei and took wood and stone from Yukio Hatoyama (now the eldest son) to "fill" the East China Sea. This is the famous myth and legend "Jingwei filling the sea". It embodies the creative feat of the tauren Emperor Yan.

It is also recorded in the Tibetan creation myth "The Origin of Everything": "The head, eyes, intestines, hair, hooves and hearts of cattle have become the sun, moon, stars, rivers, lakes, forests and mountains." This is the inevitable result of Tibetan ancestors' rich imagination after deifying or materializing their totem yak. The Song of Spa Zainiu, which is still widely circulated in Amdo Tibetan area, records: "When the Spa (meaning the universe and the world) was first formed, heaven and earth were mixed together. When Spa slaughtered the cow, he cut it off and threw it on the ground, and there was a high mountain peak. Cut off the oxtail and throw it on the side of the road, and there will be a winding road; Peel off the cowhide and spread it on the floor, and there will be a flat leaf. "

The third symbolic meaning: the ox king protects the gods.

Cattle became the folk patron saint, which originated from the ancient animal totem belief and later evolved into an animal god. There was a custom of offering sacrifices to the ox god in Qin Dynasty. "Zhu? "Wei Shui Zhu" quoted Biography as saying that Niu Wang was originally a big camphor tree in Nanshan and was illegally cut down. " The tree was broken and turned into a cow. Qin made a skirt. "The fusion of ancient and modern books? In the May 4th Movement of Nerve, I quote Notes of Liaohua Prefecture: "In the Ming Dynasty, there was the Niuwang Temple in the north of Yunnan, with Niuwang in the middle. "In modern times, the cowshed god worshipped by the people is also an anthropomorphic god, and it is sacrificed on July 25th and October 1st of the lunar calendar every year.

The Tibetan ancient book "God of Creation" also records that Son of God Niechizamp, a longicorn, descended from the sky and "came to be the owner of Tibetan yak". In Tibetan areas, "Jia Rong people worship the portrait of the bull's head, the wall is inlaid with grand white stones, and the roof is dedicated to the bull's head." Jia (A) Rong Tibetans in Aba Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture are still enshrined as "tauren".

The fourth symbolic meaning is the sacrifice of cattle to God.

Cattle are both gods and sacrifices to them. As early as prehistoric times, primitive people had been buried with cow bones, which was the beginning of the sacrifice of vertebral cows to the gods. After Shang and Zhou Dynasties, offering sacrifices to gods was as important as fighting. Zuo Zhuan: "The great event of a country lies in respecting peace and glory." At that time, the highest gods were ancestors and Emperor Yan, and the sacrifices were cows. "Zhen way: ... royal cattle three hundred. ""Ding Hai ... Mao 300 cattle. " In Anyang archaeology, a large number of cattle sacrificial remains have also been found. At that time, the sacrificial society also used cattle, with large livestock such as cattle as prison or prison, and small livestock such as sheep as prison. Book of rites? Wang Zhi said: "The country of the son of heaven is too prison, and the country of the princes is less prison."

What is the moral of the cow? Hard-working and tenacious "cow" explains the concept of Beijing Paralympic Games.

Jiang Xiaoyu, executive vice president of BOCOG, who is in charge of collecting Paralympic mascots, said that the design of the Paralympic mascot "Niu Fu Lele" was inspired by the ancient farming civilization in China.

He said that this image embodies the rich concept and Olympic spirit of the Beijing Paralympic Games. The good image of "Niu" is solid, diligent, tenacious and never gives up, which contains the spirit of self-improvement and tenacious struggle of disabled athletes, and is in line with the spirit of struggling and enterprising of Paralympic athletes and the concept of "transcendence, integration and enjoyment" of Beijing Paralympic Games.

Tang Koizumi, vice chairman and chairman of China Disabled Persons' Federation, also praised this image. She thinks that cattle are one of the animals closest to human beings. They are friendly, honest and full of affinity. In the long river of world civilization, pastoral is people's yearning and praise for a harmonious life. The image of cattle widely appears in literary works depicting natural, soothing and poetic pastoral life, reflecting people's yearning and hope for the harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

As a representative of the disabled, Wang Tao, a wheelchair photographer, participated in many important processes of selecting and modifying the mascots for the Paralympic Games, and he couldn't put it down. He said that the simple, optimistic and diligent image of "happy is good" reflects a positive attitude towards life. The Olympic Games advocates a positive philosophy of life, while the Paralympic Games advocates that physically disabled people have the same right to compete in the arena as healthy people, and this spirit will continue into their lives, so as to become stronger in life and add strength to social progress.

What's the meaning of cow? Belongs to the character of cattle.

Judging from the influence of birth time on the life of cows, cows born in the daytime are more active and aggressive than cows born in quiet nights. Similarly, cows born in summer are more relaxed and richer than those born in winter.

The nature of this zodiac is down-to-earth and never emotional. It is difficult to change a cow's mind by emotion alone. In some things, if people ask Niu's opinion, Niu always supports a reliable and sure plan. Others need to make full use of patience and wisdom if they want to win the lawsuit against cattle. People who belong to cattle are in good health and are not easy to get sick. A bull's self-confidence is uncompromising and he despises the weakness of others. If you are an ox, pay attention to cultivate more humor and enthusiasm, and you will be happier.

People born in this year are trustworthy, gentle and always seem to be in an orderly way.

Because you are steady and reliable, you will gain the trust of authority and leadership. Where there is responsibility, there are great people. At the same time, you have a natural leadership ability. You are good at restraining others with discipline, and you are too strict. People who belong to cattle are likely to succeed through personal struggle. You insist that everyone should do their duty, and at the same time, don't put obstacles in others' work. The disadvantage of being a cow is that it is very clever, haggle over every ounce and not easy to get close to. Although they are conformists, they are fair and can listen to opinions. However, it will be difficult to change your point of view, because people who belong to cattle are stubborn and sometimes even biased. People who belong to cattle are not tactful, do not know how to care about others, and often show the demeanor of a soldier, which is not suitable for public relations, diplomacy and fine work. However, the principle of honesty, unpretentious and practical is respected and loved by people. Being a cow makes all subordinates loyal, because there is nothing a cow can't do.

Animal signs symbolize the success of hard work. Being a scalper is a patient and tireless worker and doesn't want to take shortcuts. People who belong to cattle are quiet people with strong moral values and dignity, and they are never willing to use improper means to achieve their goals. Cattle people are self-reliant and don't like other people's help, so that others have to beg them to accept other people's services. Some people will unfairly criticize cattle people for their lack of imagination. In fact, their indomitable character and logical thinking are concealed by their simple and neat appearance. Silence and reserve mask cleverness and alertness. Although you are basically an introvert, your strong nature makes you a dignified and eloquent speaker when the opportunity comes. In a chaotic moment, cattle people are not afraid of danger, intimidation and natural self-confidence will bring everything back to order. But ... you should always remind yourself to be careful and not be carried away by victory.

People born in the year of the ox do things in an orderly way. People who belong to cattle adhere to a fixed pattern, respect traditional ideas and always do what people expect, so that people can expect their actions. Meticulous cattle people know that only by doing things step by step can they be invincible forever. The ox's brain is not chaotic, and others will never find that the ox lives by luck or sloppiness. What other Zodiac people can accomplish with temporary opportunities and the guidance of others belongs to cattle people who rely entirely on perseverance and dedication. Cows keep their word and keep their word. Secular prejudice doesn't matter to people who belong to cattle. People who belong to cattle will complete the work done by people who belong to cattle wholeheartedly and hate giving up halfway. Cattle people have magical endurance, but once they lose their temper, terrible things will happen and really need to be dealt with seriously. At this time, the cow will lose its mind and attack everyone on the road like a bull. The only way to solve this problem is to avoid the cattle and let them calm down slowly. Of course, unless you really can't stand it, people who belong to cattle won't fight.

Doing what you say is a principle that cattle people will abide by all their lives. The success enjoyed by cattle people depends entirely on their own strength. In short, a strong and disciplined person is unwilling to be bohemian in life. This indomitable bull will become the winner through its own efforts. People who belong to cattle don't like to be in debt, and the debt you owe others will be accurate to the last decimal place. Of course, you have the same requirements for others. If you owe someone something and you don't express your gratitude clearly, you will never forgive yourself. Others who are subordinate to the ox can't get a redundant empty thank you, but also belong to the ox ... >>

What does the cow represent in the zodiac? The Chinese zodiac signs are opposite to each other, and they are the six divisions in the wheel of karma, which embodies all the expectations and demands of our ancestors for us in China. The first group: rats and cows. Rats represent wisdom and cows represent diligence. The two must be closely combined. Only wisdom without diligence will become wisdom, and diligence will become stupidity. So the two must be combined. This is the first set of expectations and requirements of our ancestors for China people, and it is also the most important group.

What is the significance of cattle in western culture? 10 answer: Rao Ruihua

scholar

165438+1October 65438+June 12: 02 * * = people who have been sinicized.

Ren, former secretary of Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, recently said at a symposium held by Guangdong Humanities Society that modernization means westernization, and westernization cannot westernize China culture. Japan has been westernized for 100 years, and has retained more traditional culture than we have. Ren Lao is over ninety years old, but his summary is concise and powerful, hit the floor.

In fact, not only the modernization of China is westernized, but also the history of China. Because China is located at the eastern end of Eurasia, most of the foreign cultures it has absorbed come from the west, and South Korea and Japan in the east are still waiting for us to cultivate. If westernization is not limited to Britain and America, then both medieval localization and contemporary russianization are westernization. This article wants to talk about the westernization of ancient times. There is not much basis for imagining what ancient China was like. But with the progress of various disciplines, the foundation is getting richer and richer, so I will think of new things according to what I know and make a comprehensive imagination.

During the period of local autonomy in the Republic of China, the local culture was promoted, and Lu Xun's vernacular Chinese with Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent became a classic text for all China people, which is unimaginable today when the host will be laid off because of a little Hong Kong and Taiwan accent. It was at that time that the topic of comparing southerners with northerners became a hobby of literati and townspeople, just like comparing mainlanders with Hong Kong and Taiwan people today. Now the topic of southerners and northerners is no longer lively. The differences in language, customs and physical signs are all under the banner of hindering national unity. We turn a blind eye and say nothing when we see them. However, the differences between southerners and northerners do not depend on people's subjective will. Young people in courtship found the difference in blood group distribution between north and south, while scholars in prime of life found the obvious difference in gene distribution. I am not ashamed to talk about the racial differences between North and South.

The dividing line between southerners and northerners is between the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River in Qinling Mountains. The border is vague, but the national characteristics are remarkable. The blood type of southerners is O type, accounting for about 40% (A type is the most in Jiangsu and Zhejiang). Type b is the most common blood group in the north, accounting for about 30~40%. Southerners have more double eyelids and northerners have more single eyelids. Southerners are rich, while northerners are rare. Southerners have many depressions in their nasal roots, while northerners have few. Southerners have flat noses, while northerners have narrow noses. As far as general experience is concerned, it may be a bit difficult to judge whether a person is a southerner or a northerner, but it is easy to distinguish a group of southerners from a group of northerners. The difference between the north and the south is so obvious, but it is difficult to distinguish the southern and southern minorities, the northern and northern minorities simply by physical characteristics and blood type distribution. The investigation of DNA in recent years shows that the above intuitive judgment is consistent with DNA distribution. South * * * has a close relationship with southern minorities, and north * * * has a close relationship with northern minorities.

Before the Song Dynasty, the cultural center of * * * was always in the north. According to the above blood differences, most southerners should be assimilated southern minorities. Southern ethnic groups, including Fujian, Guangdong and even Zhuang and Dong ethnic groups, have a common legend that they are descendants of northerners who moved south, which can be explained by the psychology of worshipping Han. For example, it is said that the ancestors of Zhuang people in Guangxi came from Qingzhou, Shandong. In fact, Qingzhou is the hometown of Di Qing, a general of the Song Dynasty. He was not the ancestor of the Zhuang nationality, but he suppressed the uprising of the Zhuang nationality. The gap between legend and historical facts is worth studying by sociologists.

Cantonese Hakka dialect also retains a lot of vocabulary in Zhuang and Dong languages, and its grammar and tone system are also very close. Zhuang and Dong languages have a large number of Chinese loanwords, which are monosyllabic, and ancient Chinese is also monosyllabic. In the past, both Zhuang language and Dong language belonged to Sino-Tibetan language family, but later it was found that the basic vocabulary was very different. In terms of basic vocabulary, Zhuang and Dong languages and Austronesian languages (Malay and Madagascar) have many cognates. The homology of basic vocabulary can infer the homology of language, so the sources of Chinese and Zhuang and Dong languages have always been accepted by academic circles. Combining the blood differences between southerners and northerners, we can draw the conclusion that southerners are a minority assimilated by China culture.

The huge language differences and close blood relationship between northern minorities and northern minorities have made orthodox historians have a headache. Chinese is so different from Altaic language family in the north that vocabulary and grammar are not the same thing. Even the Tibetan language matched by Lang Lang to the Sino-Tibetan language family has a subject-object predicate structure. Like Altai, even though Tibetan only contains 800 far-fetched Chinese cognates, the basic vocabulary is only "I, wood, hand, ditch, cave, water, onion, radish, and no". Building a Sino-Tibetan language building on this cognate always makes people feel insecure. The formulation of Sino-Tibetan language family is still popular because ... >; & gt
