Prometheus was brought to power for stealing fire from heaven and giving it to the human world, while the sheep was for stealing grain. Give seeds to the world and sacrifice your life for righteousness. Sheep have a very close relationship with Chinese civilization. As early as the period of matrilineal clan communes, sheep were one of the most important foods.
Sheep’s contribution to the development of traditional Chinese culture is reflected in various aspects such as writing, food, morality, and etiquette. According to legend, when the ancients were working or celebrating, there would be people wearing goat horns singing and dancing, from which the word "美" evolved. Our ancestors believed that sheep bring God’s care and gifts to the world, and regarded sheep as a lucky and wishful beast.
