Cattle play an important role in agricultural society, and the character "plow" is commonly seen in oracle bone inscriptions of the Yin and Shang dynasties, resembling the shape of a cow pulling a plow head to open the soil. In the era when the ugly word "cow" was engraved on the shoulder blade of a cow, it is unknown whether ancient people who looked up at the stars had ever found the image of a cow in the sky. Among the twelve zodiac animals, the ox is in the ugly position, following the rat. Throughout history, people have been quite dissatisfied with this and have created many stories to plot the opportunism of mice, taking the lead over cows, in order to justify the hardworking cows. Of course, these stories do not have much significance in explaining the ugliness of the Ox genus, but they reflect people's fondness for cows. Niusu is one of the Seven Mansions in the north, located in the Beitian District, near the 12th birthday of the Ox Palace - referring to ugliness as a cow, the position of Niusu in the sky matches that of the Ox Palace. The nearest neighbor of Niu Su is Tian Tian Xing Su. Ordinary cows cultivate ordinary fields, and the cows in the sky naturally cultivate "Tian Tian". The monument of the ox's great achievements was thus erected on the banks of the Milky Way
