I want to hear my opinion.

In the spring tide of China's traditional history, a mysterious but unwise and philosophical picture scroll, The Preaching of Laozi, was preserved.

Unlike the picture of Laozi riding a cow, this time, Laozi did not ride his mount-Qingniu, but a fierce tiger came.

In myths and legends, Lao Tzu's green cow is not simple! In the traditional Yijing culture, the ox nose is also compared to "the earth". Kun Gua in the Eight Diagrams of Zhouyi is represented by cattle among animals.

"Yuan Yi Yuan" noticed that Laozi chose Qingniu to preach because the cow has the earth-like moral character-"virtuous carrying things". However, in "The Preaching Map of Laozi", Laozi chose the tiger instead of the cow.

Look, Lao Zi and the tiger are sitting side by side, as if to say something. The full moon behind is also very eye-catching. Some people say that this is neither the moon nor the sun, and this circle is the avenue.

The tiger looks fierce, representing the "rigidity" in yin and yang, and Lao Zi is very soft, representing the "softness" in yin and yang.

It is recorded in history that at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the sage Confucius once asked Laozi, and the two of them spoke freely, leaving a beautiful talk through the ages.

Confucius came back and said to his disciples, "I have seen Laozi, but is it still a dragon?" Knowledge is unfathomable, and interest is high and difficult to know; As a snake bends and stretches at any time, as a dragon changes in time. True my teacher also!

Laozi is a dragon, tiger is a tiger, and yin and yang are soft and hard, just like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Laozi's legend about tigers is not just about this one.

"Yuan Yi Yuan" also found that according to legend, the old gentleman on the throne has been integrated, and Laozi is one of the transformations of the old gentleman on the throne.

According to legend, Lao Tzu's mother saw a fresh plum floating in the river when she was washing clothes by the river. She was thirsty, so she picked up peaches and began to eat them.

As a result, Lao Tzu's mother got pregnant. Even weirder, I was pregnant with him for 8 1 year. On her deathbed, the mother said to the child in her belly: If you don't come out again, you may be stillborn.

In this way, I was born from my mother's womb. But when he was born, his hair and beard were white, and he could speak at birth. Born out of phase, with mother and without father, the family pointed to Plum next to her birth as her surname, also known as "Li Er" because of her big ears.

8 1 year In my mother's arms, what year was I born? Many people may not have noticed.

Yuan Yi Yuan found that Lao Zi was born in Qurenli, Li Township, Chen County (now Taiqinggong Town, Luyi County, Henan Province) during the Spring and Autumn Period of the Zhou Dynasty.

Look up the calendar and know that the year of your birth is Gengyin Year of the Tiger.

Laozi's zodiac is a tiger, which is also called "raccoon" locally. Therefore, the origin of Lao Zi and Li Er is also related to this.
