A new ode to the seven laws and twelve zodiac signs

: Chu Mai

1.

Yang Shanshen's painting

Rat: the first of the twelve zodiac signs.

The whole world calls this gentleman a traitor, but this gentleman is actually unusual.

Living in the depths of grain and grass is an excellent opportunity to add meals.

The mole drank the river as he pleased, and the ferret god invited him as a pet.

Everyone loves Mickey's image, and the disco garden is competing to see it.

2.

Yang Shanshen's painting

Bull: Diligence.

I have devoted my life to plowing the land and not complaining about others.

The treatment is just warm and full, and the whip is not loving.

Sorting is willing to give in, climb with heavy load and go forward bravely.

Loyal, loyal, I recommend Xuanyuan.

3.

Yang Shanshen's painting

Tiger: King of Animals

God's megalomaniac seized the panic of all animals, and the greatness given by God is.

Quiet as a ghost, moving like an eagle dog, moving like lightning to scare jackals.

I was imprisoned to sharpen my bones and occasionally went to Pingchuan to clean my stomach.

Don't complain that if you hide your light on the other side of the ridge, glory will leap over the hill again.

4.

Yang Shanshen's painting

Rabbit: Flexible and witty.

He has a cheerful figure, running between fragrant forests and green grass.

Be kind and upright, keep your ears awake and build a safe cave skillfully.

Don't wait for the grass near the nest, but think about it.

Birds bow and shed tears, but teach eagles and dogs to distinguish loyalty from treachery.

5.

Yang Shanshen's painting

Dragon: an auspicious animal

Nine seems to have really penetrated Changhong, and it is vertical and horizontal.

Sowing rain and calling the wind to leave jade toes, rising clouds and spitting fog proudly.

You are an emperor everywhere, and you have never been good at Ye Gong.

Dancing with great energy, the royal family is domineering and brilliant.

6.

Yang Shanshen's painting

Snake: Smart and witty.

The tail is as soft as a dragon, winding out of the hole to find rat tracks.

The bourne ultimatum, which was ambitious to swallow elephants, turned into a cup bow.

High-impedance cut the snake into a bully, and the pattern is obvious.

Although cold-blooded, Jinshan water is full of true feelings.

7.

Yang Shanshen's painting

Horse: galloping on the battlefield

Riding dust over a hundred rivers, chasing clouds and stepping on Yan Meng.

Lu Yue's sword solved the great difficulty, and the red rabbit galloped with a whip.

Bole is wise and just, and Sai Weng is wise and long-lived.

Unload the saddle and remember a thousand miles of ambition, and don't forget to report to the sages.

8.

Yang Shanshen's painting

Goat: the process of opening Thai rings.

The southern country flies down Xiangyun, and the dancing sun holds the ear and benefits the people.

Kneel on your knees and celebrate Changchun with Tana.

Make trouble without reason, make amends, although it is late.

People compete for food because of the fishy smell, and the meat is delicious.

9.

Yang Shanshen's painting

Monkey: the spirit of struggle

Value position over power, persevere and strive for perfection.

The pride is earth-shattering, and Dan's heart is terrible.

The golden hoop sticks up and knocks on the bone, and the somersault clouds turn the world of mortals.

Surrender and eliminate evil, escort and protect the true feelings.

10.

Yang Shanshen's painting

Chicken: Angri Star Officer

Chen Si dawned and made great achievements, and Angri Guan Xing used to sing red.

Inspirations must depend on it, and hospitality must be respected.

Learning to sing wit depends on strength, and Xiao He is among the loyal subjects.

I love being Woodenhead, forgetting that God gets together and shakes the glory.

1 1.

Yang Shanshen's painting

Dog: a loyal guardian

Honest, do not love power, risk one's life and forget one's death to run forward.

Gatekeepers occasionally confront people's potential and stay out at night.

Defenders dare to swallow the moon, chasing thieves and catching thieves.

A pair of discerning eyes can distinguish between petty and noble.

12.

Yang Shanshen's painting

Pig:

Tao is doing nothing, but having it, and the waist is round and the feet are short as sleep.

A unkempt face is ashamed to receive visitors, and a humble room is ashamed to see the sky.

It is rare to confuse with Bajie, and contentment is always happy.

Zhu men's long arch is blessed with high stars, and his worth is getting higher and higher.
