In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, not only the zodiac calendar was used, but also the famous Confucian Classmate Shen Jiong wrote China's first interesting poem of the zodiac: "The case of rats producing dust, cattle and sheep coming at dusk. The tiger roars in the empty valley, the rabbit opens the bright moon window, the dragon shadow is far green, and the snake willow lingers near. Ma Lanfang is far away and breeds sheep in spring. The monkey chestnut shames the fragrant fruit, and the chicken anvil attracts the clear bosom. The dog is outside the house and the pig window is long. " This poem embeds the names of the animals of the 12 Zodiac in sequence in the first word, which highlights the natural characteristics of each animal and plays the role of making the finishing touch. It can be described as unique and entertaining. ?

Zhu, a great Confucian scholar in the Southern Song Dynasty, also wrote a poem about the zodiac. He skillfully scattered the names of the animals of the zodiac in his poems. There is a cloud in the poem: "In the daytime, the hungry mouse was bitten by the air, and Xiao Jia won the abandoned baby house in Niu Geng. When I was a tiger, I was arrogant and poor. You see, after sleeping for three winters, the dragon's head doesn't argue with the snake. Destroying a car and killing a horse is easy to cook and drink. Keep monkeys hanging green by hand, and keep Kun chicken (Kun chicken: ancient books refer to birds such as cranes). Guests come to the dog to urge tea, and they don't have to buy pork from the owner. " ?

Liu Yin, a scholar in Yuan Dynasty, is quite famous for his poem about the zodiac: "The hungry eagle can't scare the mouse, but the cow sleeps on its back. Only when the mountains and rivers are thousands of miles apart can you tell the rabbit hole in Jingzhou. Fish and dragons enter the water, regardless of size. The magic mirror is a snake in a cup. The autumn wind in the horse's ear has gone without a trace, and the narrow path has returned home early. There is no need to dance with monkeys in the hall, and chickens in the intestines are paradise. Chai Men's dog barked at his neighbors and asked them to buy Xie Chunyu and Shen Pig. " The Chinese zodiac is embedded in the poem, and every sentence is a story with distinct meaning, which is not interesting. ?
