The most interesting thing about the Chinese horoscope is that the first place in the horoscope circle is of the Rat, not the Dragon. In today’s article we will give you the answers to these questions?
Why are Chinese zodiac signs named after animals?
The names are based on the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac, namely the Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. There is an interesting story behind the Chinese zodiac signs getting their animal names.
According to the story, a long time ago there lived a Jade Emperor in China, who devised a way to measure time. On the occasion of his birthday, he organized a race for all the animals and in this race, the first 12 animals to cross the flowing river would be the winners and a year of the zodiac would be named after each animal.
On the orders of the emperor, all the animals stood in a line on the bank of the river. The mouse and the cat were good friends standing in a queue, who were worried about how they would cross the river.
The rat became the first winner
Showing his intelligence, the mouse quietly sat on the back of the bull. As the bull was about to reach the finish line, the rat jumped off its back and won the race, thus giving the rat the first place in the zodiac.
After this the bull got second place in the race and the tiger got third place. Similarly, one by one the 12 animals made their place in the zodiac and finally the 12th winner became the pig.
