Foreigners laugh at Chinese Zodiac .
On one occasion , a group of Chinese people to participate in activities hosted by the European aristocracy composed of a delegation of the .
Most of them have relatives relationship with the royal family , very knowledgeable and accomplishment, kind and courteous , but they are hidden behind an arrogant self-cultivation . Last day of the dinner , may drink more, these aristocratic manners become more reckless .
During the evening, a German nobleman stood up and said : You Chinese people , how is what Zhu , dogs, mice ah ! Unlike us, are Taurus , Leo, Andromeda …… really do not know how to think of your ancestors !
The crowd breaks into laughter , but also clink with each other , the previous elegance completely gone.
It stands to reason , people cursing your ancestors , you even think of words to fight back, at least you can lift the table ah ! However , the presence of all the Chinese people do not say anything , it may not react .
Then there is a Chinese man stood up , with the calm tone, said: . ” Yes, China is indeed our ancestors Zodiac pairs, six cycle reflects our ancestors to our expectations and requirements .” At this time , the crowd slowly quiet down , but the face of the nobles or one of indifference .
The Chinese say : The first group is mice and cattle. Mouse represents wisdom , cow representatives diligence. Wisdom and diligence must be tightly bound together. If the light of wisdom , not hard , it would become a little smarter ; while just hard work, not their brains, it becomes stupid. Both must be combined . This is the first group of our ancestors expectations and demands , and the most important group .
The second group is the tiger and rabbit. Tiger representatives brave rabbit behalf cautious. Bravery and caution must be tightly bound together to be done bold but cautious . If the brave left cautious , it becomes a reckless , but not the brave , it becomes a timid. This group is also very important , so the Chinese people watching these aristocrats , adding: beware when we showed , do not think Chinese people do not brave face .
We looked deep in thought , the Chinese people continue to say : The third group is the dragon and snake, dragon represents fierce snake on behalf of flexibility . The so-called Gang are easy to fold, so just the easily broken , but if only the soft side of it is easy to lose assertive, therefore , firmness and flexibility are our teachings of our forefathers .
Followed by horses and sheep, horses on behalf of courage, sheep on behalf of rolls. If a person is selfish straight to the goal, regardless of the surrounding environment and , inevitably and constantly knocking around , not necessarily to achieve the final goal . However, a person to patronize and rolls , he may even have no direction . So, go ahead mettle , and rolls must be tightly bound together, which is the ancestor to our fourth group expectations.
The next monkeys and chickens. Monkey on behalf of flexible, regular chicken crow , on behalf constant. Constant must be flexible and tightly bound together. If you are light and flexible, no constant , no matter how good the policy is not harvested . On the one hand with the stability , to maintain the overall harmony and order , on the other hand there can move forward in the work , and this is the most fundamental essence .
Finally, dogs and pigs. Dog represents loyalty , pigs representatives easygoing. If a person is too loyal , do not know how easy-going , it will repel others. Conversely , a person who is easy-going , there is no loyalty, this man without principles . Whether it is for a national loyalty , or loyalty to their ideals , must be closely combined with the easy-going , so it will be easier to maintain balance deep inside .
Interpretation is completed, the Chinese say : Finally, I would like to know your Aquarius , Sagittarius constellation , such as you reflect on what your ancestors expectations and requirements ? Hope to enlighten me .
The nobles did not speak for a long time , the audience was silent.
Ashamed that this is the first time to understand the meaning of the zodiac . Reading to turn , because we are descendants
