This star has some salty fish

Seeing Li Han's return, the busy workers on the construction site greeted Li Han one after another.

Li Han responded one by one with a smile, and at the same time walked around the construction site, the progress of the construction period was faster than he imagined.

Judging from the current progress, there will be another ten days, and I am afraid that it can be completed.

After the parking lot is completed, Li Han plans to continue building some other necessary facilities.

Like farm offices, more public toilets, etc.

Anyway, according to the current development situation, those facilities will have to be built sooner or later.Then take this opportunity to build them all.

There are also suggestions from tourists whether it is possible to build some hotels for accommodation?

Sometimes they actually wanted to stay in the village for one night, but because there was no place to live, they had to rush back.Or rush to live in Xunxian Town.

Li Han thought about it, and it seemed to be okay.He has made enough money now that he has no problem building a hotel.

If so, fix it.Anyway, if it is not repaired now, it is estimated that it will be repaired in the future.

There are still many facilities to be built.However, Li Han is not in a hurry, one project at a time will be fine.

There will always be a time when all construction is not.

Chapter 373 Children Are Arguing About Zodiac Signs

Li Han was thinking this way, and then suddenly heard a brat shouting "Brother Han".

Looking back, I saw a group of brats from the village running over from a distance with their schoolbags on their backs.

It seems that the brats are back from school.Seeing Li Han, the bear children were all very happy.

After the brats ran close, a brat named Dongzi said, "Brother Han is here now, so we can just ask Brother Han the question just now."

Another brat named Liangzi said, "Okay, everyone says you're wrong, but you still don't believe it."

"Huh?" Li Han asked suspiciously, "What's the problem? Were the two of you arguing about something just now?"

Dongzi nodded and said, "Brother Han, do you think there is a 'sheep' in the Chinese zodiac?"

"Twelve zodiac signs?" Li Han understood, and said with a smile: "You are just arguing whether there are sheep in the twelve zodiac signs?"

Dongzi said: "Yes, Brother Han. I said that there are no sheep in the twelve zodiac signs, but Liangzi just said that there are sheep."

Liang Zi said at this time: "It has always been. I have an aunt who belongs to the sheep."

Dongzi said, "You must have misremembered."

Liang Zi said, "Not really."

The two little guys fought again.Li Han smiled a little. Children are children, and they can fight over any issue.

However, it is not surprising that the two little guys would have a dispute because of this.

Because, it's normal for someone to get it wrong.

The twelve zodiac signs, everyone knows it, and they all feel that they know the twelve zodiac signs very well.

But if you really want to name the twelve animals completely, without checking the information, there are not many people who can say it completely correctly.

Everyone feels that they are familiar, but in fact it may not be the case.

For example, I suddenly ask you, is there a sheep in the Chinese zodiac?

There will definitely be many people who are not sure and say, "There should be."

Or say with the same uncertainty, "It seems not."

This is true for adults, let alone two little ones.

After thinking about it carefully for a while, Li Han said: "Dongzi, you are wrong about this question. There are indeed sheep in the twelve zodiac signs."

"Yeah!" Liangzi cheered, "I'll just say yes. How about it? Do you know you're wrong?"

Dongzi said: "Brother Han, do you really have sheep? Why don't I have any impression!"

Li Han said with a smile: "Of course it is true. Behind the horse is the sheep."

Dongzi muttered, "Okay."

Next, Liangzi was proud and Dongzi was depressed. The completely different expressions of the two little guys made Li Han amused.

However, when it comes to the twelve zodiac signs, it is indeed very interesting.

Looking at the bear children, Li Han said: "We just said that there are indeed sheep in the Chinese zodiac. Now let me ask you another question."

Hearing what Li Han said, the children all looked at Li Han instantly, looking very interested.

Liangzi was no longer proud, and Dongzi was no longer depressed.

Li Han said: "Can you tell me that there are cats in the twelve zodiac signs?"

cat?

All the bear children looked positive thinking. After a while, Dongzi said, "There shouldn't be any. Right? Brother Han."

Liang Zi said: "It seems to be there, but it seems not to be. I don't know about it."

Some of the rest of the brats said yes, some said no, and some said he didn't know.

After the brats chattered for a while, Li Han said: "This time, Dongzi, Xiaotong, and Xiaoyu are right. There are no cats in the Chinese zodiac."

"Yeah!" This time it was Dongzi, Xiaotong, and Xiaoyu who cheered.

Li Han smiled, and continued to ask: "So, do you know why there are no cats?"

why?

Now all the brats could only stare wide-eyed in a daze.

How do they know why?Never even thought about it.

Of course, they don't know why it's normal.

Because, it's not just them.In fact everyone doesn't know why?I don't know if I have covered Li Han.

Because, the formation of the twelve zodiac signs has been very long.For a long time, it has been impossible to verify when it originated?

It can only be traced back to the pre-Qin period when a relatively complete zodiac system existed.

Then in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were already records of zodiac signs that were exactly the same as the current twelve zodiac signs.

So long ago, who knows why there are no cats?

I can only make a more scientific guess, it should be because when the Chinese zodiac was formed, there was no such animal as a domestic cat.

Because domestic cats were introduced into China late, it must be later than the formation of the twelve zodiac signs.

So, maybe this can explain why there are no cats in the Chinese zodiac?

However, this can only explain why there are no cats?In addition, those animals that do not have it cannot be explained.

We can only speculate that the origin of the Chinese zodiac is related to people's worship of animals in that period.

These twelve animals are the twelve animals worshiped by people, thus gradually forming the twelve zodiac signs.

Of course, why are the twelve animals in the Chinese zodiac?Although it cannot be explained scientifically.

However, it can be explained by something called "myth and legend".

Why no cats?No one knows why, but in the world of myths and legends, or in the cultural world of the zodiac, it has a reason.

Those reasons are often very interesting and form various cultures about the zodiac.

In the past life, there are very rich records about the culture and legends of the twelve zodiac signs.

It includes various records in historical documents, as well as a lot of folk legends and so on.

Since these legends were formed, they have been continuously processed by people in different periods, and have been passed down to today. The resources can be said to be quite rich.

However, this was in a previous life.

Not so in this world.

I don't know why, but there are very few legends and cultures about the twelve zodiac signs in this world that have been handed down to this day.

Li Han suspected that at a certain period in history, due to some special reason, there was a gap in the cultural inheritance of the legends about the twelve zodiac signs.

In other words, there was an interruption in the process of spreading.

It's like Zhuo Wenjun's "Baitou Yin" and the story of Liang Zhu failed to be handed down.

Why is there no cat in the Chinese zodiac?In the previous life, there was a widely circulated legend that perfectly explained this problem.

However, that legend does not seem to exist in this world.

Maybe it never appeared, or it was interrupted at a certain period in history.

This is undoubtedly a very regrettable thing.

Li Han had learned about such a situation by accident before, but he didn't think too much about it at the time, and gradually forgot about it later.

Now, listening to the brats arguing about the twelve zodiac signs, Li Han suddenly remembered again.

That's why he asked why there are no cats in the Chinese zodiac?

Now that you remember it, tell the children about the legendary story.

Think of it as telling a funny story to the kids.

Chapter 374 Why is the mouse the boss of the Chinese zodiac?

After the bear children stared wide-eyed for a while, Dongzi said, "Brother Han, we don't know about this problem, and we have never thought about it. Do you know why?"

Li Han smiled and said: "This question can only be speculated about the answer. The twelve zodiac signs were formed very early, almost formally formed as early as the pre-Qin period. At that time, there was no such animal as a 'house cat' in our country. Therefore, There are no cats in the zodiac.”

So this is ah!The bear kids nodded one after another.

Although they don't know exactly when the pre-Qin period was, they understand the reason.That is, when the Chinese zodiac was formed, there was no such animal as a domestic cat.

Although the reason is understood, the children's reaction is relatively flat.For this reason, they obviously have no interest.

Li Han was not surprised, he knew that these little guys were not interested in such a formal answer.

So, Li Han said again: "Actually, there is another reason."

"What's the reason? Brother Han." The brats said in unison.

They may not be interested in the answer, but what answer?They are curious again.

Li Han said: "This reason is a long story. It was a long, long time ago. At that time, there was no such thing as the twelve zodiac signs.

One day, the Jade Emperor decided to choose twelve animals as zodiac signs in order to let people in the world remember his affiliation in the year he was born.

Therefore, the Jade Emperor informed all the animals in the world that any animal that wants to become a zodiac sign can go to a certain place to sign up the next morning.The twelve kinds of animals that arrive at the destination first are the animals of the twelve zodiac signs. "

Li Han said while observing the expressions of the brats, all of them looked very interested and listened very carefully, which was completely different from the reaction when they heard the answer before.

Sure enough, it is still a story-based answer, which can interest these little guys.

So, Li Han continued to finish the story.

This story has been widely circulated in the previous life. It follows that both the cat and the mouse wanted to become animals of the zodiac sign. At that time, they were still good friends, and they made an appointment to set off together the next morning.

But the cat likes to sleep late, let the mouse wake it up the next morning.

As a result, the next morning, the mouse thought that one less animal would mean one less competitor.Without waking up the cat, he set off alone.

The final result is naturally that the mouse was successfully selected, but the cat was not selected.

This is a legend, of course it is not true, but people often like and are willing to process such legends.

And this can also be said to be a precious cultural wealth.

Such an interesting story, the bear children will definitely be very interested.

This is true.

After hearing the story, the bear children all had very excited expressions.Dongzi said, "Brother Han, where did you read this story? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

Li Han smiled and said, "You're right if you haven't heard it. Because this is a story I came up with myself."

"That's it." The brats didn't doubt it, they all knew that Li Han wrote the story.

They all like to read the stories written by Li Han, such as "The Adventures of Shuke and Beta" and "The Calabash Brothers".
