How big is the cow?

I usually hear people say: you were born on the path of cattle, horses and shrimp ... do you want to have a deeper relationship with cattle and horses? To answer this question, the first thing to understand is that as early as the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, ancestors called horses, cows, sheep, pigs, dogs and chickens six animals; Six animals are closely related to our ancestors and even people's lives now, which is naturally familiar to us, so there is the so-called prosperity of six animals as a feature of national stability; In addition, it is not uncommon for these animals to blend in with idioms, such as chickens fly and dogs walk, chickens call dogs steal, pigs and dogs are inferior, and the wind and horses are irrelevant. Cattle and horses are one of the six ancient animals, and they are among the best in terms of physique and body shape. In ancient times, farmers dealt with livestock all the year round in their daily production and life. Through careful observation, they have accumulated many interesting spoken songs, among which there are many idioms/proverbs about horses and cows. Horses with strong limbs, gentle temperament and good at running enjoy the reputation of "a swift horse", "a horse knows human nature", "a horse doesn't bully its mother", "a horse doesn't know the way" and "an old horse knows the way". There are "looking at the calf to see the mother, the mother is fat and strong", "put down the bucket in the front crotch and put down the hand in the back crotch" and "the front legs are as straight as arrows, and the strength is endless; The hind legs bend like a bow and walk like the wind. " Because cows and horses are strong, their functions are more important than those of the other four animals (sheep, pigs, dogs and chickens). For farmers, cows are sacred animals. Cattle can be used for farming for farmers, and it is very powerful. It can pull plows to loosen the soil, so that hard land can be used for farming and irrigation. Cattle can also be used to transport goods and people for farmers. A family without cows means no wealth. For the ancients, horses were also indispensable. Horses are as strong as cows, but they run better than cows and can go far away, so they are often used to pull vehicles (such as carriages), which can carry people and goods, which is conducive to the development of business. It can also be used for communication. For example, in ancient times, there was a situation in which fast horses reported urgent state affairs, and there were also post stations. There is no doubt about the importance of horses in the purpose of the campaign. Because the horse is not only strong, but also fast and maneuverable, it is suitable for charging ahead. As we all know, a pony can gallop thousands of miles and be tireless in battle, so it is also very important for the people/country to be a horse. So I think cows and horses are used to describe people because (1) of the six animals, cows and horses are stronger and taller, so they are used to describe people's health; (2) Among the six livestock, cattle and horses have a greater impact on the national economy and people's livelihood; Without cows and horses, ancient countries would appear weak and declining in commerce, agriculture and military affairs. Therefore, it is another meaning to describe a big man, which shows that this person has the ability to make contributions to society like cattle and horses! ! Unlike sheep, pigs and chickens, they have no actual production capacity. As for the idiom "Cow is tall and horse is big" appearing in the literature, it seems to be a relatively recent thing: the idiom "Cow is tall and horse is big". It means that people are big and big.
