Sayings About Sheep
The sky is blue, the land is vast
The wind blows, the grass lies flat
Revealing cows and sheep
Sheep comes eighth in the Chinese zodiac. Sheep are docile and benevolent, and many auspicious Chinese characters, such as "善" shan (kindness), "美" mei (beauty), "祥" xiang (luck), and "鲜" xian (brightness), include the component "羊" yang (sheep). The sheep is the symbol of Guangdong, one of the largest cities in southern China, which is also known as Yangcheng (Sheep City).
The sheep symbolized justice in ancient China. Legend has it that a type of divine sheep called xiezhi was able to recognize wrongdoers, and would gore them in punishment. Consequently, judges in the ancient State of Chu (present-day Hubei Province) wore an image of the xiezhi on their hats as a symbol of impartiality.
