The Chinese Zodiac Story
The Chinese zodiac, known as Sheng Xiao (生肖), is a repeating 12-year cycle of animal signs. According to legend, the Jade Emperor held a great race across a river to determine the order of the zodiac animals. The clever Rat, hardworking Ox, brave Tiger, and nine other animals each earned their place in this ancient tradition.
