The Story of

Chinese Zodiac

Page 2: The Story of Chinese Zodiac In ancient times, in order to make people easily remember the years, our ancestors came up with an idea ―― using the animals.

In ancient times, in order to make people easily remember the years , our ancestors came up with an idea ―― using the animals to represent the years.

Page 3: The Story of Chinese Zodiac In ancient times, in order to make people easily remember the years, our ancestors came up with an idea ―― using the animals.

A popular folk method which reflected the cyclical method of recording years are the Twelve Animal Signs. Every year is assigned an animal name or "sign" according to a repeating cycle: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Boar.

The Chinese animal signs are a 12-year cycle used for dating the years. They represent a cyclical concept of time, rather than the Western linear concept of time.

Page 4: The Story of Chinese Zodiac In ancient times, in order to make people easily remember the years, our ancestors came up with an idea ―― using the animals.

Long, long time ago, people always forgot in which year they were born and could

not figure out exactly how old they were.

Page 5: The Story of Chinese Zodiac In ancient times, in order to make people easily remember the years, our ancestors came up with an idea ―― using the animals.

The Jade Emperor came up with an idea.

It’s too difficult to remember a year. It would be easier to remember an animal. Why don’t we choose twelve animals to represent the years?

福德宮

The Jade Emperor asked the Earth God to tell every animal how to be chosen as one of the animals for the twelve signs of the zodiac.

玉皇大帝公告The river- crossing race

All animals are welcome to compete. The first twelve animals across the finish line will be chosen as the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac.

Page 8: The Story of Chinese Zodiac In ancient times, in order to make people easily remember the years, our ancestors came up with an idea ―― using the animals.

After the announcement, all the animals got very excited and everyone was talking about the race.

Page 9: The Story of Chinese Zodiac In ancient times, in order to make people easily remember the years, our ancestors came up with an idea ―― using the animals.

At that time, the cat and the rat were very good friends. They met to discuss the race.

We can’t swim. How are we gonna cross the river?

Let’s join the ox, We can point the way and he can carry us across the river.

Page 10: The Story of Chinese Zodiac In ancient times, in order to make people easily remember the years, our ancestors came up with an idea ―― using the animals.

The cat and the rat went to see the ox.

The ox said okay at once.

The day of the race soon came.

Early that morning, before the rooster woke up, the ox, the cat and the rat were already at the riverside.

Page 12: The Story of Chinese Zodiac In ancient times, in order to make people easily remember the years, our ancestors came up with an idea ―― using the animals.

The cat and the rat climbed onto the back of the ox.

And then they started swimming across the river.

Page 13: The Story of Chinese Zodiac In ancient times, in order to make people easily remember the years, our ancestors came up with an idea ―― using the animals.

The cat became sleepy because he got up so early that morning.

He fell asleep as soon as he got on top of the ox’s back.

Page 14: The Story of Chinese Zodiac In ancient times, in order to make people easily remember the years, our ancestors came up with an idea ―― using the animals.

How eager the rat wanted to win first place.

When the ox was a few second away from the opposite bank of the river, the rat pushed the cat into the water and went into one of the ox’s ears.

Page 15: The Story of Chinese Zodiac In ancient times, in order to make people easily remember the years, our ancestors came up with an idea ―― using the animals.

The ox had no idea of what had just happened but heard the rat saying “ Big Brother Ox, Go! Go! Go!

We are almost there!

We can make it.”

Page 16: The Story of Chinese Zodiac In ancient times, in order to make people easily remember the years, our ancestors came up with an idea ―― using the animals.

The ox climbed up the shore and ran to the finish line.

The rat jumped out of the ox’s ear and rushed to the finish line to win first place.

Page 17: The Story of Chinese Zodiac In ancient times, in order to make people easily remember the years, our ancestors came up with an idea ―― using the animals.

The ox was very angry.

Ever since then, the ox always looked at the rat with his enormous eyes.

Page 18: The Story of Chinese Zodiac In ancient times, in order to make people easily remember the years, our ancestors came up with an idea ―― using the animals.

Then came the tiger.

The tiger was roaring,” I am the first, right?””

No, you are the third,” said the Jade Emperor.

Page 19: The Story of Chinese Zodiac In ancient times, in order to make people easily remember the years, our ancestors came up with an idea ―― using the animals.

A whirlwind came in the sky as the dragon arrived.

Page 20: The Story of Chinese Zodiac In ancient times, in order to make people easily remember the years, our ancestors came up with an idea ―― using the animals.

But the rabbit sprinted ahead and took the forth place.

The rabbit could not swim but jumped across the river on the backs of the other animals.

降 雨 大 典

You could fly. Why did you

arrive so late?

I had gone to the South China Sea to host a rainmaking ceremony and rushed back in a hurry but was too late.

Page 22: The Story of Chinese Zodiac In ancient times, in order to make people easily remember the years, our ancestors came up with an idea ―― using the animals.

The sky was filled with flying dust.

The horse was dashing at full speed, but as he was about to cross the finish line, the snake suddenly shot through to come in sixth.

Poor horse.

Page 23: The Story of Chinese Zodiac In ancient times, in order to make people easily remember the years, our ancestors came up with an idea ―― using the animals.

Originally, the horse was very bold and brave, but after being scared by the snake, he became very shy.

Originally, the snake had legs,

but he raced so hard, he ran his legs off.

Page 24: The Story of Chinese Zodiac In ancient times, in order to make people easily remember the years, our ancestors came up with an idea ―― using the animals.

Working together, the goat, the monkey and the rooster rowed on a log.

As a result, they earned themselves eighth, ninth, and tenth places respectively.

Then came the dog. He was a playful fellow.

As he crossed the river, he had such a good time in the water that he forgot the time.

Page 26: The Story of Chinese Zodiac In ancient times, in order to make people easily remember the years, our ancestors came up with an idea ―― using the animals.

Only one opening was left. All the people wanted to see who was in the lead.

The pig arrived and said

I’m starving, Is there any food to eat here?

The race was over.

The Jade Emperor at once announced the places of the twelve animals in the zodiac.

Page 28: The Story of Chinese Zodiac In ancient times, in order to make people easily remember the years, our ancestors came up with an idea ―― using the animals.

At that time, the cat arrived dripping wet.

What is my place?

You came in thirteenth.

Page 29: The Story of Chinese Zodiac In ancient times, in order to make people easily remember the years, our ancestors came up with an idea ―― using the animals.

The cat was mad. “ You bad rat!”

He said. “ I won’t spare you!”

The cat slapped the rat across the face

and knocked out all of his teeth except the two in front.

Page 30: The Story of Chinese Zodiac In ancient times, in order to make people easily remember the years, our ancestors came up with an idea ―― using the animals.

Today when the rat sees the cat’s shadow, he runs like crazy.

Even in daytime he hides in a hole, not daring to show his face.
