There is also a folklore. In ancient times, there was a gentleman who was rich and prolific and had no children under his knees. Who knows that when I was near the flower, I got a son. The whole family is happy, friends and relatives congratulate each other, and there is a big banquet outside to celebrate the successors. On the occasion of the holidays, a fortune teller came to see the child. When he saw the child's forehead was wide, his face was big, his ears were wide, his wheels were round, his heaven was full, and he was fat in vain. He asserted that the child must be a rich man.

The fat child was endowed with life and happiness. From an early age, he only knew how to reach for clothes and eat with his mouth open. He never practiced martial arts or did farm work. He just idles around, thinking that his fate is set and he is extremely rich, so he doesn't have to work hard. I didn't know that when children grew up, their parents died, their wealth declined, their land was sold, and their servants were scattered. The fat boy still lived a luxurious life and finally starved to death in his room.

The fat man lingered after his death and went to the underworld to complain that he was born rich and could not die so sadly. Yan took the ghost to the jade emperor in heaven and asked him to judge. The Jade Emperor summoned the Kitchen God and asked the rich-looking man how he starved to death in his room. Kitchen God told the fat boy that he didn't study, didn't farm, and sat in the open space wasting money.

The Jade Emperor was furious. He told the police officer to obey orders and told the fat boy to obey his orders. The Jade Emperor said, "Although you are lucky, you are lazy. Now you are punished as a pig and eat coarse chaff. " This period of time coincides with the selection of the zodiac in the Heavenly Palace. The poor officials in this Heavenly Palace heard that "eating coarse chaff" is "being a zodiac". Bring this fat man to reality at once. From then on, the fat man became a pig, eating coarse chaff, and became the zodiac.
