What does it mean that a white horse is not a cow since ancient times? China has a history of 5,000 years, and has also created a long history and profound China culture. Among them, proverbs, as a vein of traditional culture, are widely circulated because they are easy to understand and catchy, and there are profound reasons behind many proverbs. For example, the older generation of farmers said, "Since ancient times, white horses have been afraid of green cattle, and sheep and rats will stop when they meet." What are they talking about? Next, let's take a look.

In ancient times, there were many customs and taboos when getting married. The most important thing is that the "eight characters" must be reconciled. If the eight characters don't match, there will be mistakes, so there will be various problems in the marriage of two people, which cannot be reconciled. Therefore, men and women in ancient times had to push the "eight characters" when they got married. Ask the fortune teller to calculate whether it is suitable for husband and wife. One of the eight characters is to calculate whether the zodiac signs of two people match. If they match, they can grow old together. And this proverb says that the horse belongs to the cow and the sheep belongs to the count.

Since ancient times, white horses have been afraid of green cows.

So why do you say that cattle and horses are unlucky? Why? No one can give a specific explanation, which may be related to the fact that the early green cattle were the embodiment of evil spirits. In Shan Hai Jing, there was a god named Kui, who was "shaped like an ox, pale and without horns, and had one foot, which means that this animal looks like an ox, and its bluish-black body has no horns, but only one foot. As long as this animal enters the water, it will be accompanied by wind and rain.

The first thing here is the early image of Qing Niu. According to Ying Shao's "Custom Yi Tong" in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the river god who made waves was a green cow (a pale cow), and Li Bing, the magistrate of Qiantang, became a white cow. With everyone's help, Qingniu tamed the Minjiang River.

But in the eyes of the older generation, the characters of horses and cows are incompatible, which may be related to their personalities. Horses are relatively strong and active. On the other hand, cows are calm and honest. When two people with different personalities are together, it is easy to have conflicts.

Whether the white horse and the green cow don't match is completely unfounded and violates the principle of "mutual development and mutual resistance" in ancient times. In traditional culture, the attribute of the afternoon horse is "fire", the attribute of the ugly cow is "earth", and the five elements are born in fire, which shows that the two are not incompatible. Moreover, the white horse and the green cow are the totems of the ancient Qidan nationality.

Shi Zai: Once upon a time, there was a man riding a white horse to the east, and a man drove a green ox cart across the Yellow River. Later, he married the place where the two rivers meet and gave birth to eight sons. The descendants of these eight sons multiplied into eight tribes, that is, the ancestors of the ancient Khitans. It can be seen that "White Horse" is not a "green cow", but a good match.

Once sheep and mice meet, they will rest.

The Chinese zodiac is a mouse and the Chinese zodiac is a sheep, otherwise it is easy to separate. This is because the attribute of offspring is water, while the attribute of ewe is soil, and the soil in the five elements is like water, so the combination of two people will be mutual, so the husband and wife will not go too far. In the eyes of the older generation, sheep are docile, but mice are cunning. If two people are at odds, there will be contradictions, husband and wife will be at odds, and marriage will fail. Therefore, there is still a saying that "once the sheep and the mouse meet, it is difficult for the marriage to last long."

In addition to the above two, in the eyes of the ancients, there are many genera, and many genera are similar. For example, because of the idiom "chickens and dogs are restless", dogs and chickens cannot be combined, otherwise life will be restless and quarrels will often occur. Another phenomenon is the "dragon-dish rabbit", so dragons or snakes don't match rabbits.

In fact, in our view today, these statements are nonsense and completely unfounded. But in ancient times, people thought this way because of the influence of thoughts. Their fundamental purpose was to make their children happy in marriage and look forward to a better life.

I have something to say: in modern times, with the improvement of people's educational level, few people care about mutual respect between genera. Two people get married and come together in order to create a better life together and spend the rest of their lives together.

Destiny is in our own hands, and happiness is to be won by ourselves. A good marriage needs both husband and wife to run together, so as long as two people love each other, understand each other, understand each other, tolerate each other, love each other and belong to each other, it doesn't matter. Don't you think?

The above has something to do with what a white horse is not worthy of a cow since ancient times, and it is about the sharing of marriage. After reading the marriage between cattle and horses, I hope this will help everyone!
