The metaphor of the king as the shepherd of his people goes back to ancient Egypt. Perhaps the use of this particular convention is due to the fact that, being stupid, affectionate, gregarious, and easily stampeded, the societies formed by sheep are most like human ones.
国王是人民的牧羊人的比喻可以追溯到古埃及。也许这个特殊的习俗的使用是由于这样一个事实，即由羊组成的社会是愚蠢的，充满感情的，群居的，容易踩踏的，最像人类的社会。
