The calendar in our country is very different from that in other countries. In the traditional culture of China, we are used to using the zodiac to represent the year, from the first mouse, cow, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken and dog to the last pig. One animal represents a year, and one * * has twelve animals as representatives. I asked my mother, "Why are there mice and cats in the zodiac?" My mother told me a very interesting story.
One day a long time ago, people said that they would choose the twelve zodiac signs, one zodiac sign a year, which is regarded as the human zodiac signs. There are so many animals in the world, how to choose? People thought of a way to set a day for animals to sign up and choose the first twelve animals as the zodiac.
Cats and mice are neighbors and good friends. They all want to sign up. The cat said, "Let's register together tomorrow! But I always go to bed late. What should I do? " The mouse said, "Never mind! I'll get up early tomorrow morning and wake you up, okay? " The next day, the mouse got up early, ran to register and forgot to wake the cat. As a result, the mouse became the first animal in the 12 zodiac, and the cat woke up and ran to the scene. The positions of 12 animals were full, and the cat was angry because it was not selected. Since then, cats and mice have become enemies. Hee hee! No wonder the cat is going to catch mice!
2. How to write the zodiac in the zodiac composition?
One spring, the cat was sunbathing under the eaves, and overheard the ox and his daughter-in-law say, "In two days, the organizing committee decided that all animals would go. Before the selection 12 animals are the most diligent animals, and they can be human animals. " The cat was very happy. It immediately told its good friend Mouse the good news. The mouse said, "I'll call you in two mornings, so you can sleep peacefully!" " "Because the mouse knows in his heart that cats are notoriously lazy.
Day by day passed, and soon on the third day, the mouse 1 got up. It didn't wake the cat, but left by itself.
In this way, the mouse won the first prize and the cat and mouse became enemies.
3. How to write the composition of the zodiac?
According to legend, a long time ago, before the zodiac was selected, the gods of heaven posted notices in Zhang greatly, inviting animals to sign up. At that time, cats and mice were very friendly to each other. When the cat got the news, it immediately told the mouse and said to the mouse, "Brother Mouse, I am a person who likes to sleep late. Can you wake me up tomorrow morning? "
Hearing this, the mouse readily agreed. The cat and the mouse were very comfortable together and fell asleep peacefully. The next morning, before the sun came out, the mouse got up. It yawned lazily and stretched. Because he was so excited, he completely forgot to wake the sleeping cat. The mouse went out of the house with a whoosh and walked happily to the registration office. Walking, it suddenly saw a strong old cow, rushing to the registration place.
The mouse saw it and was very anxious. At this critical moment, the mouse rolled its eyes and an idea went deep into its mind like lightning. It smiled and said insincerely to the old cow, "Dear Uncle Niu, are you going to sign up?" You get up early, the sun just came out half a head. I didn't sleep well last night. After that, he pretended to yawn and pretend to be helpless. Without waiting for the old cow to answer, he went on to say, "Excuse me, can I sit on your back?" There is a companion on the road. "The old cow was fooled by these sweet words, and it just stopped there. The mouse seemed to see through its heart, put on a pitiful and pleading expression, and then sighed. When the old cow saw it, she quickly agreed: "Yes, of course. "
As soon as the old cow finished speaking, the mouse jumped on its back, proudly set up its legs and looked around. When the old cow and the old mouse approached the registration place, the sun was already halfway out, the rooster crowed loudly, and the animals set off for the registration place in groups of three or five. The cat fell asleep because it didn't hear the mouse calling it and didn't know that the sun had shone on it.
As soon as the sly mouse saw the registration place, he jumped up at once, quickly slipped off the head of the old cow and ran happily to the registration place. When the old cow found that she had been cheated, she flew into a rage and jumped on the mouse. It's too late, the mouse has arrived at the registration place, and the old cow can only sigh. What about the cat? When it woke up, the sun was shining. When it arrived, the registration was over.
Now, do you know why there is no cat in the zodiac and why the mouse is in front of the old cow?

A long time ago, this dragon was adopted by the Jade Emperor, so it lived well every day. Of course, dragons also know everything about the sky.
One day, the Jade Emperor made a list for all animals to compete for the throne of the zodiac. But there are only twelve places. The dragon was the first to know about it, and immediately went to please the jade emperor, hoping to become the first of the 12 zodiac animals. A year has passed in an instant, and the animals practiced hard the night before the game in order to be the first in the zodiac. What about dragons? It thought in bed: Our dragon is deeply loved by the Jade Emperor, and even if I come last, he will definitely help us win the first place.
The next day, the playground was crowded with people and almost all the animals came. Let's go Twelve athletes started a tense competition. As expected, Long ranked first in the first half. In the second half, the dragon became more and more proud; The happier I am, the slower I walk and I laugh at other players from time to time. The competition finally ended. The Jade Emperor stood on the platform and said, "Now, I declare the first place is". Suddenly, the blood of the audience instantly solidified, "old mouse! Second place, cow! Third place, tiger! Next are rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, throats, chickens, dogs and pigs! " The audience cheered. However, the dragon cried. He said, "I was too proud to win the first place in the zodiac." Then, it flew back to its Dragon Palace in the East China Sea and never saw anyone again.

4. Composition of Stone Carving Square 100 Notes on Jiaxiang International Stone Carving Art Avenue Dear leaders and distinguished guests, my name is Yan Zhongquan, and I am an employee of Jiaxiang Stone Carving Factory of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. Today, I am very honored to introduce our Jiaxiang and our pride-Jiaxiang International Stone Carving Art Avenue.
Jiaxiang County, located in the west of Jining City, Shandong Province, has a long history and outstanding people. According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period, Lu Aigong went hunting in the west and got a unicorn. This place is named "Jiaxiang" because it means beauty and auspiciousness.
Jiaxiang is the hometown of Ceng Zi, one of the "four great saints" in ancient China. The stone carving of Wushi Tomb, a national first-class cultural relic protection unit to which Jiaxiang belongs, is a classic representative of ancient stone carving art in China, and is praised by historians as "the historical encyclopedia of Han Dynasty". Jiaxiang's stone carving art is famous at home and abroad. Jiaxiang's stone carving industry has developed rapidly in recent years and achieved remarkable results. It was named "the hometown of stone carving in China" by the Ministry of Agriculture.
Since the reform and opening up, Jiaxiang's economy and various social undertakings have developed rapidly. Jiaxiang is becoming a hot spot for investment and entrepreneurship.
In order to improve Jiaxiang's reputation and popularity, integrate lapis lazuli resources, and build a stone carving brand, the county party committee and county * * * have held a stone carving art festival with great public opinion from September 24th to 26th every year since 2004. It is in this context that Jiaxiang International Stone Carving Art Avenue came into being.
In order to keep up with the development of the times, improve the quality of Jiaxiang's urban construction and increase the charm of the city, Jiaxiang County Party Committee and County * * * specially invited famous domestic experts to transform the existing "Chengxiang Avenue" in Jiaxiang County, and creatively planned the "Jiaxiang International Stone Carving Art Avenue" on this basis. At the same time, according to the characteristics of Chengxiang Avenue and Jiaxiang's resources, the organization invited famous stone carving artists at home and abroad. Jiaxiang Stone Carving Factory of Central Academy of Fine Arts (053768 14208) hired well-known sculpture experts at home and abroad, and gradually created and carved a number of fine stone carvings, which were arranged in the center and both sides of Chengxiang Avenue, forming the landscape of "International Stone Carving Art Avenue" and making it a beautiful landscape in Jiaxiang County. Jiaxiang International Stone Carving Art Avenue will make full use of China? Jiaxiang International Stone Carving Art Festival is a key platform to display and promote Jiaxiang's image. Since the first art festival in 2004, it has attracted famous sculpture artists and urban planning experts at home and abroad to participate in the construction. It is planned to gradually build a high-grade, high-grade and high-quality stone carving art avenue after three or four art festivals.
In 2004, Jiaxiang Stone Carving Art Festival specially invited some well-known sculptors at home and abroad to create two series of stone carvings according to different themes for a section of the east end of Chengxiang Avenue, and then the Jiaxiang Stone Carving Factory of the Central Academy of Fine Arts carved and recreated them. These two series of works are based on the characteristics of Jiaxiang's existing resources and created according to Jiaxiang's future development needs. The themes are Han Soul Series and Happy Auspicious Series. Han Feng's Han Soul Series includes five works: Wen Jing gave birth to Tu Ping, Ma Xu Party, Little Girl Learning to Dance, Ceng Zi's Filial Piety, and The Legend of Jin Lu. The series of happiness and auspiciousness includes longevity, good fortune, Spring Festival couplets, the pride of Yangyang and the legend of Ye Jin. First of all, I will introduce the archway of Jiaxiang International Stone Carving Art Avenue to all the guests.
Interpretation of the archway of the International Stone Carving Art Avenue This archway is 15.2 meters high and 25.4 meters wide. Across a road with a width of 100 meters, there are three doorways, of which the middle doorway is 8.2 meters wide and the left and right doorways are 8.2 meters wide. According to relevant experts' research, this archway is the largest archway in China at present. In order to welcome the first Jiaxiang Stone Carving Art Festival, Jiaxiang Stone Carving Factory of Central Academy of Fine Arts completed this archway in only two months.
Look, the top of this archway is engraved with the words "the hometown of stone carving in China". This title was awarded by the Ministry of Agriculture, and Jiaxiang is one of the four stone carving towns in China. The name of Art Avenue is engraved below-China Jiaxiang International Stone Carving Art Avenue.
Look at the four pillars. There are four Kirin carefully carved by stone carvers. Kirin is a symbol of good luck and a mascot of Jiaxiang. Look at their energetic forms, as if to show you our Jiaxiang propaganda slogan-enter Jiaxiang, be happy and auspicious. Next, I will introduce the first work of art of Jiaxiang International Stone Carving Art Avenue-Jumping Horse to all the guests.
Comments on Ma Xu's Stone Carving Works Ma Xu's Stone Carving Works were created collectively by some teachers and students of the Sculpture Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. This work cleverly puts Huo on the tomb of the sick horse; Horse stepping on Yan Feima (that is, the horse unearthed in Wuwei, Gansu Province, which is now a tourist symbol of China); Horses in Han figurines; Xiu Xiang Liu Bang Mount; Combined with a feldspar, it becomes a perfect stone carving.
This stone carving is advanced in conception and exquisite in craftsmanship. The four horses are lively, imposing and lifelike. The author regards the heads of four horses as the main part of his work, which not only means "only taking horses as the leader", but also implies that our Jiaxiang economy will develop as fast as running horses. In addition, it also symbolizes Jiaxiang County's determination to lead the people of the county to a well-off society and its sincere commitment to many people who come to Jiaxiang for business, investment and settlement.
Well, we invite all the guests to enjoy the second work of Jiaxiang International Stone Carving Art Avenue-Wenjing Shengping Map. The commentary of Wen Jingsheng Tu Ping is good. Next, I would like to introduce the third work of Art Avenue, Wen Jing Sheng Tu Ping.
Wen Jing Sheng Tu Ping was created collectively by some sculptors of China Academy of Fine Arts ... The main body of the work consists of a stone pillar, surrounded by the rising landscape of Han painting.
Wenjing refers to the reign years of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty and Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, which is the most prosperous period of Han Dynasty. Because of the policy of stabilizing the country and developing the economy put forward by Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, the economy of Han Dynasty was prosperous, and this period was also a famous period of "the rule of cultural scenery" praised by later generations.
Please pay attention to different aspects of work. We can see that the main face of the work is a dynamic form-a Han dynasty figure who "walks out" to outline the theme of the work, confident and heroic figures plus others.
5. Write a composition with three of the zodiac signs. Why does the mouse rank first in the zodiac? How did cats make enemies with mice? 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 house and mysteriously said to the cat, "Hello cat, I will give you a task-as long as you get an animal for eleven months, I will make you the best seat in it." The cat suddenly became happy when she heard this, and thought, If I sit in the best seat ... The cat thought about it and took action immediately, maybe it was too excited.
The cat went to the old cow's house first. While the cat was talking to the Jade Emperor, a clever mouse was eavesdropping in the corner. When the mouse knew that the cat was the king, the mouse began to figure out how to win the first plan, so that the cat could not get the title of "boss"-the mouse flew to the Heavenly Palace and asked the cat to inform the old cow, and then said many sweet words to the Jade Emperor. Finally, the jade emperor was told to lose his head before letting the mouse. The cat took eleven animals to receive the prize, but when the cat saw the mouse, it was very angry because the mouse robbed him of his "boss" position.
The cat asked the jade emperor why, and the jade emperor said, "This seat is full, so you can't change it casually." The cat was in a hurry: "That ... that can't make an exception?" "No, this is the rule of our heavenly palace." The Jade Emperor said sternly. The cat had to go back to his home. At the moment he came back, the cat glared at the mouse. After a while, the mouse came back. He proudly said to the cat, "What's the matter?" ? You don't want to be king anymore! "The cat is angry. He suddenly jumped on the mouse, so that the mouse quickly slipped into his room and never came out.
This is how cats form hatred with mice, and this is how mice become the first. Did you guess right?
Instructor: Cao Shuangzhi
In the ranking of the zodiac, why do mice rank first with their younger generation? First of all, this question puzzles the sages of mankind and the wise men of today: mice are pitifully small in size, and people can hold them in their hands to play with.
The choice of the zodiac and the arrangement of the zodiac are not complicated, but they are close to the daily life and social life of the Han people, which can be guessed. Zodiac animals can be roughly divided into three categories: one category.
Why does the mouse rank first in the zodiac? The Origin and Legend of the Twelve Zodiacs "Fayuan Zhu Lin" quoted the Dajijing as saying that the origin of the twelve Zodiacs is: "Outside Jambu-Di^pa, there are twelve animals in the square sea, which are bodhisattvas. Human nature should be a bodhisattva.
6. How to write the Chinese zodiac composition Our calendar is very different from other countries. In the traditional culture of China, we are used to using the Chinese zodiac to represent the year, from the top mouse, cow, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken and dog to the last pig. One animal represents a year, and one animal represents twelve animals.
I asked my mother, "Why are there mice and cats in the zodiac?" My mother told me a very interesting story. One day a long time ago, people said that they would choose the twelve zodiac signs, one zodiac sign a year, which is regarded as the human zodiac signs.
There are so many animals in the world, how to choose? People thought of a way to set a day for animals to sign up and choose the first twelve animals as the zodiac. Cats and mice are neighbors and good friends. They all want to sign up.
The cat said, "Let's register together tomorrow! But I always go to bed late. What should I do? " The mouse said, "Never mind! I'll get up early tomorrow morning and wake you up, okay? " The next day, the mouse got up early, ran to register and forgot to wake the cat. As a result, the mouse became the first animal in the 12 zodiac, and the cat woke up and ran to the scene. The positions of 12 animals were full, and the cat was angry because it was not selected.
Since then, cats and mice have become enemies. Hee hee! No wonder the cat is going to catch mice.
7. The Year of the Pig is coming to an end, and the Year of the Rat is coming.
It's the Year of the Rat in 2009 and 2008. In the zodiac, the pig is at the bottom and the mouse is at the top, so it is called "the mouse is the boss".
In ancient times, people divided a day and night into twelve hours, and one hour at that time was equal to two hours now. For example, midnight is midnight, sunrise is Shi Mao, noon is noon, sunset is unitary and so on.
The ancients matched twelve hours with twelve kinds of animals according to the time of animal activity. That is, at night 1 1 until the next morning 1. This time is the most active time for mice, so mice are used to match the zodiac.
In China, the zodiac is deeply rooted in people's hearts. When it comes to age, ordinary people often say the zodiac first.
The year you belong to is called the animal year. In people's minds, the animal year is unlucky for the owner, so it is necessary to wear a red belt or a red shirt or something.
Why is the animal year unlucky? Maybe it's psychological. For example, if you are a mouse, you will show your true colors in your animal year and stop being a human being.
Does the connection between people and animals in the zodiac indicate that there is an inseparable relationship between China people's thoughts and nature? Man is a member of nature. People and all kinds of animals live on the same earth. They are close friends. In a profound word, everything is one with me. Half of the Zodiac animals are domestic animals. There are five common animals: tiger, rabbit, snake and monkey, and only one virtual animal is dragon.
Livestock are raised by people, have feelings for people and serve them. The other five kinds of relationships with people are more complicated.
Like a tiger, it is an animal that hurts people, but it is a great symbol in people's impressions; Rabbits and monkeys are not classified as domestic animals, but they are also friends of people; Only mice and snakes are disgusting animals. Why is the mouse listed as the zodiac? Some people have analyzed that the mouse is the first of the 12 Zodiac because of its strong reproductive ability and cleverness, which was envied by the ancients. As for snakes, the image is extremely bad, and the bad guys are described as "snakes and scorpions".
However, because the image of the dragon is a manifestation of the snake totem, our ancestors endowed the dragon with noble status with their imagination, and the snake is bound to attach to it, so it is called "Little Dragon". It is said that people born in the Year of the Rat are smart, cheerful, romantic, humorous and observant. I hope all people who belong to the rat say so.
8. How to become a composition of the Chinese Zodiac It took us about 1 hour to take a taxi from Zhangjiajie Railway Station to Huanglongdong Square.
How big the square is! I am amazed: it is about ten times as big as our school playground! But it is not monotonous at all. There are Victoria Concert Hall, pocket gourds and pumpkins, marble statues of the Chinese Zodiac, and large and small waterwheels in the square.
I admire in my heart: Huanglong Cave, the scenery outside is still so rich, and the scenery inside that cave is absolutely more charming. Just thinking about it, I unconsciously arrived at the mouth of Huanglong Cave.
Above the hole, the three characters "Huanglong Cave" painted with red paint are particularly conspicuous. As we approached the mouth of the cave, a cool breeze blew on our faces, which made us cool a lot after being roasted by the scorching sun.
But as soon as I entered the cave, I secretly complained: it seems to be the winter of March 9, and it is so cold that people tremble. But there is no way, so I have to follow the tour guide with trepidation.
Walking through the 100-meter corridor of the cave "throat", we came to the first scenic spot we watched-"Dragon Dance Hall". I saw a small cave on the high cliff. The caves are full of stalactites and stalagmites of various shapes and sizes. Against the colorful lights, it really looks like a brightly lit dream stage.
The tour guide said that this is the place where the Dragon King dances and the smallest hall in the cave. Looking at the Dragon Dance Hall, I suddenly thought: Maybe the Dragon King is in this hall, enjoying the dance! After leaving the Dragon Ballroom, I saw many stalactites and stalagmites that surprised me.
I don't know how far I walked, and I came to the first underground river in the cave-the "Xiangshui River" with a water depth of more than ten meters. According to the tour guide, giant salamander (also known as giant salamander), a national second-class protected animal, actually lives in this bottomless river.
We got on the boat and looked at the scenery on both sides of the river bank while playing with the cool river. One of the most striking is a lifelike "faucet" (a huge stalactite).
Above the stalactites are a pair of delicate "dragon horns" that look like branches. Under the "Dragon Horn", a pair of green bowl-sized "eyes" stared at us viciously, which made people feel creepy. What's even more frightening is that the door width under the "eyes" and the "mouth" are half open and half closed, revealing fangs, as if the whole life can be swallowed up in one bite. Although this faucet is terrible, it is one of the most striking scenery in Huanglong Cave, from which the name "Huanglong Cave" comes.
After landing, I really felt the beauty of Huanglong Cave: as if I had entered the "Dragon Palace". There are towering "cedars"; Layers of "Qian Shan Wanshui"; Rockets 1 and 2 soaring; The naughty "little monkey" in Huaguoshan; The "granary" with abundant grains; Wonderful and touching Piano; The resplendent "harem" ... is really dazzling, dazzling.
But what attracts me most is the indomitable spirit of the Dragon King's treasure-"Anchor Needle". I saw a slender stalactite standing in the middle of the stone, far higher than the stone, which seemed to stand out from the crowd.
This is the longest stalactite in Huanglong Cave, only 5 or 6 meters away from the top of the cave, and it is also the landmark scenery of Huanglong Cave. It's a pity to come to Huanglong Cave without seeing the "Dinghai Shenzhen". Huanglong Cave is not only famous for its "Dragon Palace", but also the only "maze" in the cave that needs to buy another ticket for sightseeing.
After leaving the Dragon Palace, we went to watch the maze. Stalactites and stalagmites in the "maze" are not scattered like those in the "Dragon Palace", but many of them are connected together, and most of them are dripping.
It is this connection that tourists will get lost if they walk a little, which is why they have the name "maze". In the "maze", there are natural white stalagmites and a wavy stone flower everywhere.
I think: this ticket really didn't come in vain. Compared with the majestic and rugged "Dragon Palace", this "maze" is more delicate and lovely. Walking out of the maze and passing the covered bridge on the Crystal River, the second underground river in the cave, we unconsciously returned to the exit of Huanglong Cave, and we had to say goodbye to Huanglong Cave reluctantly.
Until now, the scenery of Huanglong Cave still appears in my mind from time to time. I really hope to have a chance to go to Huanglong Cave again! Your article has begun to mature: it is well used and its thinking is clear. Detailed description, rich imagination, true feelings and clear center.
Disadvantages: There are too many scenic spots. With our temporary Chinese level, it is still a little difficult to grasp the feeling of writing. I suggest that one or two scenic spots in detail should be full.
