It originated from a poem of the zodiac written by Shen Jiong, a poet in the Southern Dynasties, which said, "In the case of rat dust, cattle and sheep came at dusk. Tigers sit in empty valleys for food, and rabbits open windows to the moon. The dragon ridge 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 leads to a clear cup. Dogs are worried about things, and pigs are leisurely. "
