Why is the Year of the Pig and the Year of the Rat so sad? What does it mean that there are ten sorrows in the Year of the Pig and the Rat?

Why is the Year of the Pig and the Rat so sad? What does it mean that there are ten sorrows in the Year of the Pig and the Rat? Zhuge Liang divided the world into three parts, while Liu Bowen unified the country. This sentence has been sung since ancient times, which is enough to show how valuable Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen are. The former, Zhuge Liang, was famous for his unrivaled wisdom, while the latter, Liu Bowen, was even more famous for his "Song of the Baked Bun", whom even the emperor was afraid of. So, is the Year of the Pig and Rat predicted by Liu Bowen hundreds of years ago true? Let’s take a look at the zodiac analysis together!

Why is the Year of the Pig and the Rat so sad? What does it mean that there are ten sorrows in the Year of the Pig and the Rat?

The phrase "Ten worries make the years of Pig and Rat difficult" comes from the inscription on Liu Bowen's stele. Some people interpret this as a prophecy left by Liu Bowen, meaning that there will be disasters in the years of Pig and Rat, and it will be difficult for people to get through safely. Legend has it that Liu Bowen was a god who had the ability to know what would happen in the past five hundred years and what would happen in the next five hundred years. He was also a meritorious official who helped Zhu Yuanzhang establish his empire. Such a sentence on his tombstone has indeed attracted the attention of many people.

Some people in later generations attributed certain events that happened in the years of the Pig and Rat in history to Liu Bowen's prophecy, further deepening the public's misunderstanding that bad things or even a major plague will happen in the years of the Pig and Rat. However, there are also folk sayings pointing out that the prophecy made by Liu Bowen was actually just a summary of the epidemic situation in ancient times.

"If you ask when the plague will appear, just look at the ninth and tenth months of winter." In ancient times, winter was the season when bacteria and viruses were active, and influenza even broke out during this period every year. In ancient times, medical conditions were limited, and more people died from influenza because there was no treatment. The influenza, which is common among modern people, was a plague in the eyes of ancient people. The so-called "Year of the Pig and Rat will be difficult" in the prophecy may be because in the ancient people's cognition, the Year of the Pig and Rat is the time when the twelve Earthly Branches meet, and the yin energy itself is relatively heavy, which will aggravate the killing yin energy in the autumn and winter seasons. Therefore, in recent years, the so-called plagues such as influenza have been more serious.

Liu Bowen's predictions for the Year of the Pig and the Rat:

The sky has eyes, the earth has eyes, and everyone has a pair of eyes. The sky turns, the earth turns, and the free and happy life is boundless. The poor keep one thousand out of ten thousand, and the rich keep two or three out of ten thousand. If the rich and the poor do not change their minds, they will see their death in front of them.

There are no crops to be planted on the plains. Be careful of the wilderness. If you ask when the plague will appear, just wait for the ninth and tenth months. People who do good will see it, but people who do evil will not. There are people in the world who do great good, and it is not a good thing for them to suffer this disaster. There are still ten worries ahead:

One worry is that the world is in chaos, and the other is that people are starving to death.

The third worry is that Huguang will suffer a great disaster, and the fourth worry is that the provinces will be in chaos.

The fifth worry is that the people are not at peace, the sixth worry is that in the ninth winter and tenth month,

The seventh worry is that there is food but no one to eat it, the eighth worry is that there are people but no clothes to wear.

The ninth worry is that no one will pick up the corpse, and the tenth worry is that there will be no one to pick up the years of the Pig and Rat.

As people of later generations, we should learn some of the natural laws contained in the Shaobing Song, advocate peace, and prevent war from happening again. And if difficulties happen to occur in the years of the Pig or Rat, it is purely coincidental. People should also believe in the development and progress of the times and not be deterred by predictions. Instead, they should believe in the power of science and humanities, unite and cooperate, and overcome difficulties together.
