Our country's annual calendar is very different from other countries, in the traditional Chinese culture, we are used to use the twelve Chinese Zodiac signs to represent the year, from the head of the lineup of the rat, the ox, the tiger, the rabbit, the dragon, the snake, the horse, the goat, the monkey, the chicken, the dog to the end of the pig, one kind of animal to represent a year, a **** there are twelve kinds of animals to do the representative. I asked my mom, "Why is there a mouse in the Chinese zodiac and no cat?" Mom then told me a very interesting story.
One day a long, long time ago, people said to choose twelve animals, one year by an animal as the human zodiac. There were so many animals in the sky, how to choose? People thought of a way, set a date, the animals to enroll, choose the first twelve animals to do the zodiac.
The cat and the mouse were neighbors and good friends, and they both wanted to sign up. The cat said, "Let's go to the registration together tomorrow! But I always sleep, what to do?" The mouse said: "Never mind! Tomorrow I will get up early in the morning and then wake you up, won't that be fine?" The next day, the mouse got up early and ran to enroll, forgetting to wake up the cat. As a result, the mouse became the first of the twelve animals in the Chinese Zodiac, and when the cat woke up from his nap and ran to the spot, the twelve animals were already full, and the cat was angry that he hadn't been chosen. From then on the cat and the mouse were enemies. Hee hee! No wonder the cat wants to catch the mouse!

One spring, the cat was sunbathing under the eaves of the house, and overheard the yellow cow and its daughter-in-law was saying, "In two days, the organizing committee decided that all the animals are going to go, and the previous twelve animals were chosen as the most industrious animals, and they can be the people's genus. " Cat heard, can be happy bad, it immediately told the good news to a good friend mouse. The mouse said, "I'll call you in the morning of the next two days, so you can sleep in peace!" Because the mouse knew in his heart that cats are notoriously lazy.
The days went by, and soon it was the third day, and the mouse got up at 1:00, and it did not wake the cat, but went by itself.
In this way, the mouse got first place, and the cat and the mouse became enemies.

Legend has it that a long, long time ago, before the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac were chosen, the gods in the sky, in order to choose the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac, posted a big notice for the animals to come to sign up. At that time, the cat and the mouse are very friendly with each other, the cat got the news, immediately told to the mouse, and said to the mouse: "Mouse brother ah, I am a sleepy person, tomorrow morning when you wake up, can you wake me up ah?"
As soon as the mouse heard this, he readily agreed. The cat was so relieved for the mouse that he went to bed peacefully. The next morning, before the sun came up, the mouse got up, and it yawned lazily and stretched. Because he was so excited, he had long forgotten about waking the sleeping cat. The mouse 'giggled' and walked out of the house, happily striding towards the registration site. As he walked, he suddenly saw the strong old ox, hurrying towards the enrollment place.
The mouse saw, very anxious, in this urgent moment, the mouse eyeballs a turn, an idea like lightning deep into its mind, it smiled and walked forward, false to the old cow said: "Dear uncle cow, hello, you are not going to enroll ah? You are up so early, the sun is only out for a little half a head. I didn't sleep well last night." Saying this, it pretended to yawn and put on a helpless face, and without waiting for the old ox to answer, it went on to say, "Excuse me, may I sit on your back? It is just right to have a companion on the road." The old ox was confused by these sweet words, and it stopped dumbly where it was; the mouse seemed to read its mind, and put on a pitiful and pleading expression, and then sighed. The old cow looked at it, and hastily agreed: "Yes, of course."
The old cow just finished, the mouse will "miso" a jump to its back, proudly set up legs, looking around. When the old cow and the mouse almost to the enrollment place, the sun has come out half a head, the rooster loudly chirping, the animals in groups to the enrollment place to go. The cat, who had not heard the mouse call him, was asleep and did not know that the sun was already shining on the ***.
And the cunning mouse saw the enrollment site, it jumped up, quickly slipped from the head of the old cow down, gleefully to the enrollment site to go. The old bull found fooled, angry and fire, to the mouse rushed over. But it was too late, the mouse has long been to the registration site, the old ox can only be next to the sigh. The cat, when it woke up, the sun was already shining, it rushed over, the registration has long been over.
Now you know why there is no cat in the Chinese zodiac, and why the mouse is in front of the old ox?

A long time ago, dragons were adopted by the Jade Emperor, so they enjoyed glory and wealth every day. And, of course, the dragon knew everything that was going on in the sky.
One day, the Jade Emperor sent out a list asking all the animals to compete for the throne of the zodiac. But the quota was only twelve. The dragon was the first to know about this, and immediately went to please the Jade Emperor in the hope of becoming the first of the twelve zodiac signs. A year went by in the blink of an eye, and the animals practiced hard the night before the competition in order to be the first in the zodiac. But what about the dragon? It was in bed thinking: we dragons are favored by the Jade Emperor, even if my last place is not afraid, he will help our first place.
The next day, the stadium was crowded with almost all the animals. The start! Twelve athletes began the intense game. As expected, the dragon was in first place in the first half. In the second half, the dragon became more and more proud of himself; the happier he became, the more he walked slowly, laughing at the other players from time to time. The game was finally over, the Jade Emperor stood on the podium and said: "Now, I announce that the first place is" At that moment, the blood of the whole audience froze for a moment, "Old-rat! Second place, Ox! Third place, tiger! Next, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Throat, Chicken, Dog, Pig!" The whole audience cheered. But the dragon cried, and said, "It's all because I was too proud that I didn't get first place in the Zodiac." Then he flew back to his Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, and never had the face to come out and see anyone again.

5. Write an essay using three of the twelve Chinese zodiac signsWhy is the mouse first in the zodiac? And how did the cat and the mouse make a raw feud? Let's read the story and think about these two questions together!
Once upon a time there was a cat, one day the Jade Emperor came to the cat's home to the cat mysteriously said to the cat: "Hello cat, I'll give you a task - as long as you get the eleven months of the animal I will let you do inside the best seat." The cat listened to the heart of the heart all of a sudden happy flowers, thought: if I sat in the best seat ...... cat thinking about thinking immediately acted, may be too excited to do so.
The cat first went to the house of the old bull, when the cat and the Jade Emperor to talk, a cunning, clever mouse is listening in the corner, let the cat as the king of the matter was known to the mouse, the mouse began to calculate how to take down the first so that the cat does not get the "boss" of the title of the plan - - the mouse while the cat went to notify the old bull that the cat would not be able to "boss" this title. -The mouse took advantage of the cat to inform the old bull when the fast darted to the Palace of Heaven, and then to the Jade Emperor said a lot of rhetoric, and finally the Jade Emperor was said to the head to let the mouse to be the first. The cat came with eleven animals to collect the prize, but when the cat saw the mouse, it was angry, because the mouse robbed him of the "boss" position.
The cat looked for the Jade Emperor to comment, but the Jade Emperor said: "This son is full of can not accommodate, and can not be changed at will." Cat heard anxious: "That ...... that can not make an exception once?" "No, this is the rule of our Heavenly Palace." The Jade Emperor said sternly. The cat had to go back to his house, and at the moment of walking back, the cat glared fiercely at the mouse. After a while, the mouse came back as well, and he said to the cat arrogantly, "Well? You won't be able to be the king from now on!" The cat got angry, and he suddenly pounced on the mouse, scaring him so much that the mouse hurriedly slipped into his house and never came out.
That's how the cat got into a feud with the mouse, and that's how the mouse got to be number one. You guessed it right?
Instructor: Cao Shuangzhi
In the ranking of the zodiac, why is the mouse small for big, in the first place? This question first let the human philosophers and today's wise man puzzled: on the physical size, the mouse is very small, let a person a lift can play open in the palm of the hand.
Selection and arrangement of the Chinese zodiac The choice of the twelve animals in the Chinese zodiac is not complicated, it is close to the daily life of the Han Chinese and social life is guessable. Among the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac, they can be roughly divided into three categories: one.
Why is the rat first in the zodiac? The origin of the twelve zodiac signs and legends "Dharma Garden Pearl Forest" cited the "Great Collection of Sutra" said the origin of the twelve zodiac signs, said: "Yama Floating outside, the four sides of the sea, there are twelve beasts, and is the Bodhisattva guide. The first birth of the human path, when the Bodhisattva.
6. How to write an essay on the Chinese ZodiacChinese Zodiac our country's calendar and other countries are very different, in the traditional Chinese culture, we are used to use the Chinese Zodiac to represent the year, from the top of the list of rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, goats, monkeys, chickens, dogs to the end of the pig, one kind of animal on behalf of the year, a **** there are twelve kinds of animals to do on behalf of.
I asked my mom, "Why is there a mouse in the Chinese zodiac and no cat?" Mom then told me a very interesting story. One day a long, long time ago, people said they would choose twelve animals, one year by an animal as the human zodiac.
There are so many animals in the world, how to choose? People thought of a way, set a date, the animals to sign up, choose the first twelve animals to do the zodiac. The cat and the mouse were neighbors and good friends, and they both wanted to sign up.
The cat said, "Let's go to the registration together tomorrow! But I always sleep, how to do?" The mouse said, "Never mind! Tomorrow I get up early in the morning, and then call you to get up is not it?" The next day, the mouse got up early and ran to enroll, forgetting to wake up the cat. As a result, the mouse became the first of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac, and the cat woke up from sleep and ran to the scene when the twelve animals were full, the cat was not selected, very angry.
From then on the cat and the mouse became enemies. Hee hee! No wonder the cat wants to catch the mouse.
7. Essay on Chinese ZodiacThe Year of the Pig is coming to an end and the Year of the Rat is approaching.
It is now the year of 2009 and 2008, the year of the rat. In the twelve zodiac signs, the pig is in the last place, the rat ranked first, so there is a "rat boss" said.
In ancient times, people will be divided into twelve hours a day and night, when an hour is equal to two hours now. For example, the middle of the night for the son of time, sunrise for the dawn, noon for the noon, sunset for the You time.
Ancient people according to the animal infestation activity time, the twelve hours with twelve kinds of animals. Zi time is eleven o'clock in the evening to the next morning, this time is the most active time of the rat, so Zi time and the rat with the genus.
In our country, the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac are y rooted in people's hearts. When it comes to age, the people often first say the genus.
To the year of their own Zodiac, known as the year of birth. In people's minds, the year of birth is unlucky for the owner, to wear a red belt or a red shirt or something to avoid a sacrifice.
Why is the year of birth inauspicious? It may be a psychological effect. For example, if you are a rat, in the year of your birth, you should show your true colors and stop being a human being.
Linking people to the animals in the Chinese zodiac, does it mean that the Chinese have an inextricable chain of relationships with nature in their thinking? People are a member of the natural world, people and all kinds of animals live on the same planet, is a close friend relationship, with an esoteric word, that is, "all things and I am one". Twelve zodiac signs, half of the domestic animals, and five are common tiger, rabbit, snake, monkey, only a virtual animal dragon.
Domestic animals are raised by people, and people have feelings for people, for people. The other five have a more complex relationship with people.
Such as the tiger, is hurtful to the animal, but it is in people's impression is a symbol of might; rabbit and monkey are not listed as domestic animals, but also people's friends; only the rat and the snake, is an animal that people loathe, why the rat is listed in the Zodiac? Some people analyze because of the rat's fertility, and clever, for the ancients envy, so the rat as the first of the twelve zodiac signs. As for the snake, the image is very bad, describing the bad guys as "snakes and scorpions".
But because the image of the dragon is a manifestation of the snake totem, our ancestors played the imagination, there is a dragon this kind of noble identity, the snake can not help but climb, so called "small dragon". It is said that people born in the year of the rat is smart and clever, cheerful, romantic, rich in sense of humor and observation, I wish all the people who belong to the rat so say.
8. how to become a zodiac essay how to writeWe took a cab from Zhangjiajie Railway Station for about an hour or so to get to the Yellow Dragon Cave Square.
The square is huge! I was in awe: it was about a dozen times the size of our school playground! But it's not monotonous at all. The square has a Victorian concert hall, there are pocket gourds and pumpkins, twelve Chinese zodiac marble statues, and large and small waterwheels.
I marveled in my heart: Huanglong Cave, the periphery of the scene is still so rich, that the scene inside the cave must be even more fascinating. Thinking about it, unknowingly arrived at the entrance to the Yellow Dragon Cave.
Above the cave entrance, "Huanglong Cave" three big words with red paint are particularly conspicuous. Approaching the entrance, a cool breeze came to us, making us cooler under the scorching sun.
But once in the cave, only secretly complained bitter: as if to the winter, cold people shivering. But I have no choice but to shiver and follow the guide.
After walking through the cave "throat" 100 meters long corridor came to the first attraction we viewed - "Dragon Dance Hall". See high on the cliff wall there is a not too small grottoes, grottoes all over the large and small, different forms of stalactites and stalagmites, in the colorful light backdrop, can really be like a brightly lit, fantasy stage.
Listening to the guide said that this is the place where the Dragon King dances, and it is also the smallest hall in the cave. Looking at the Dragon Dance Hall, I suddenly thought: maybe the Dragon King is in this hall, is enjoying the dance! After leaving the "Dragon Dance Hall", I viewed many stalactites and stalagmites that surprised me.
I don't know how far to go, but to the cave in the first dark river - water depth of more than ten meters "ringing water river". Listen to the guide introduced in this bottomless river actually live in this national second-class protected animal giant salamander (also known as dollfish).
We sat on the boat, while playing in the cool water while watching the guide pointed out the scenery on both sides of the river bank. One of the most striking was a vivid "dragon head" (a huge stalactite).
Stalactites above is a pair of tree branches look like a delicate "dragon horn", "dragon horn" below, a pair of green bowl mouth large "eyes" staring at us menacingly, making a person look at the creepy. Make a person look at the creepy, more terrible is the "eyes" below the door as wide as the half-open half-closed to reveal the sharp teeth of the "mouth", it seems that a bite can be swallowed alive to eat the whole life. Although this dragon head is very scary, but it is one of the most striking sights of Huanglong Cave, "Huanglong Cave" name also comes from.
On the shore, I really feel the beauty of the Yellow Dragon Cave: as if entering the "Dragon Palace". There are lofty "cedar"; layers and layers of "thousands of fields"; straight up in the sky "rocket" 1, 2; naughty "Huaguo Mountain "little monkeys" of the "Mountain of Flowers and Fruits"; the "granary" of the "grain harvest"; the marvelous and touching "piano"; the glorious "Harem" ...... is really dazzling, dazzling.
But the most attractive to me is the Dragon King's treasure - the top of the "sea god needle". Just see a thin and long stalactites towering between the stones, the height is far more than the stones, like a branch of the plum alone, cranes and chickens.
This is the longest stalactite in Huanglong Cave, only 5, 6 meters from the top of the cave, but also the iconic scenery of Huanglong Cave, Huanglong Cave is not to view the "Sea Needle", that can be a pity. Huanglong Cave in addition to the "Dragon Palace" known, there is a hole in the only need to buy another ticket sightseeing "labyrinth" is also very famous.
We left the Dragon Palace and went to see the Labyrinth. "The stalactites and stalagmites in the Labyrinth are not spread out like in the Dragon's Palace, but many of them are connected and most of them are dripping with water.
It is so connected, the tourists will be a little lost, so there is a "labyrinth" this name. In the "maze" natural alabaster stalagmites all over the place, there is a wave roll like a stone flower.
I thought: this ticket is really not in vain, compared to the majestic rough "Dragon Palace", this "labyrinth" is more delicate and lovely. Out of the "labyrinth", through the second dark river in the cave - "labyrinth" under the "crystal river" on the bridge
The cave is the first of its kind in the world, and it is the first of its kind in the United States.
To this day, the sights of Huanglong Cave are still in my mind from time to time, and I really hope that I will have the opportunity to revisit it again! Your article has begun to mature: the shift is well used, the article is clear. Descriptions are detailed, imaginative and relatively rich, emotionally real, clear center.
There are shortcomings: the attractions are too rich, with our temporary language level to write or a little difficult to grasp the feeling. I suggest that the detailed writing of the attractions of one to two to write some fullness is already enough.
