Why do you say that women are sheep as soon as you get married, and "women are sheep, and they keep their rooms empty"?

In some areas of the Han nationality in the past, women were forbidden to be sheep when they got married. Jiang Yuanxi of the Ming Dynasty said in the book Eye of the Sky: "Women belong to sheep and keep empty rooms." People think that a woman who belongs to the sheep in the zodiac will die from her husband and will be widowed after marriage. Therefore, the woman who belongs to the sheep is not considered by the man. ?

People are jealous of women who belong to sheep, not because sheep are as fierce as tigers, but because there is a folk saying that "eyes show four whites, no husband keeps the house" and sheep's eyes are considered as "eyes show four whites". Perhaps this has caused the man's taboo, no matter whether the woman's eyes are really "revealing four whites", as long as they are sheep, they are afraid, so men are very jealous of women who belong to sheep when choosing a spouse. ?

When it comes to the marriage pairing of the old zodiac, it is forbidden for women to belong to the tiger sheep. Let's talk about the origin of these two genera first. The choice of the zodiac is not random, but closely related to the early life of human beings. Tigers are fierce animals in nature, powerful and powerful. During the hunting and gathering period, human beings became afraid of tigers and gradually changed from worship to worship, so many tribes took tigers as their totems, hoping to have the power of tigers. ?

Secondly, the origin of the zodiac is related to twelve o'clock, and the tiger ranks third in the zodiac, which is the Yinhu, that is, from 3 am to 5 am. At this time, tigers are the fiercest, foraging everywhere. Therefore, when people choose twelve kinds of animals as their animals, tigers are naturally one of them. Sheep are not as fierce as tigers. Sheep is one of the six animals and the main source of meat for human beings (all six animals are among the animals of the Zodiac). China recorded the domestication of sheep about 5,600 years ago. In ancient times, owning sheep was a symbol of wealth. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Bai Xixi, the famous prime minister of Qin State, exchanged sheepskin for official positions.
