Find out more….. How did the years get their names? A long time ago in China, the gods decided that they wanted to name the years after animals. They chose twelve animals – dragon, tiger, horse, snake, pig, cockerel, rat, rabbit, goat, dog, ox and monkey. All of these wanted the first year to be named after them as they all thought themselves to be the most important. Can you imagine the noise when they were arguing? They made so much noise that they woke up the gods. After listening to all their arguments the gods decided to settle the matter by holding a race across a wide river. The years would be named according to the order in which the animals finished the race. The animals were very excited. They all believed that they would win – although the pig wasn’t quite so sure. During the race there were many changes in position, with different animals taking the lead. As they approached the river bank ox was in the lead with rat a very close second. Rat was determined to win but he was getting very tired. He had to think quickly. He managed to catch the ox’s tail and from there he climbed onto his back. Ox could see that he was winning but just as he was about to touch the bank, rat jumped over his head and landed on dry land.

  • The Chinese Zodiac Follows a Cycle of 12 Years. Each Year Is Represented
    The Chinese zodiac follows a cycle of 12 years. Each year is represented by a real or mythical animal, whose characteristics determine the personality and fate of every person born that year. According to ancient Chinese legend, many centuries ago the Jade Emperor called all the animals of the kingdom to him. Only twelve obedient animals respond- ed to his call, so the Jade Emperor decided to reward them for listening. He assigned each of the animals to one of the twelve lunar years. “But which order would the ani- mals be in?,” he thought. To solve this problem, he decided to hold a race to see which of the animals would reach the other side of the river first. The animals would receive their place in the twelve lunar years according to the order they reached the finish line. The ox was worried about the race because he was nearly blind, and the rat was worried that he was too small compared to the other animals. So the ox made a deal with the rat: the rat would ride on the ox’s back and act as his guide. That way, the ox would be able to “see” and the rat would be “faster.” Then the race started. All the animals gathered at one side of the river’s bank and jumped in. As the ox pulled ahead of all the animals and was about to reach the finish line, the rat jumped off the ox’s back and reached the opposite side of the bank first. Therefore, the rat became the first animal in the zodiac, followed by the ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and boar.

  • The Chinese New Year
    The Chinese New Year The Chinese Zodiac The Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar; thus, new year day is usually in late January or early February, and it is on a day with a new moon (ie: no moon). For 2021, Chinese New Year is on 12 February - Year of the Ox. No one knows when the Chinese calendar officially began, but it is generally accepted that Year One corresponds to the time when Emperor Huang Di began ruling China (equivalent to 2697 BC). Thus, 2020 (after Jan 25) corresponds to the Chinese year 4718. In Chinese astrology, the zodiac is represented by a 12-year cycle of 12 animals – these are the Rat, Ox, Snake, Horse, Rabbit, Tiger, Dragon, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig, and the Sheep. Of all the animals in the world, why were these 12 chosen? There are many stories explaining this and they all share a similar theme: there was a race and the first 12 animals who arrived at the finish line were chosen. Rat is small but he is clever. He convinces Ox to give him a ride, but just as Ox approaches the finish line, Rat jumps ahead of Ox making Rat first on the list and Ox second. The Great Race There exists a story, in Chinese mythology, of a great race that decided which animals made it into the Zodiac and in what order. The Jade Emperor, the ruler of all gods within Chinese mythology, hosted the race. To finish the race and become one of 12 animals in the calendar, the animals had to cross a river.

  • 十二生肖：Chinese Zodiac
    十二生肖 Chinese Zodiac Chinese Zodiac — When Were You Born? The Chinese Zodiac consists of a 12-year cycle, each year of which is named after a different animal that imparts distinct characteristics to its year. Many Chinese believe that the year of a person’s birth is the primary factor in determining that person’s personality traits, physical and mental attributes and degree of success and happiness throughout his lifetime. The Chinese people place a great deal of faith in the Yinyang principle. This is especially noticeable during the Chinese New Year. According to reliable legend, a mythical monarch named Yao was patron to two perceptive astronomers. These gentlemen constructed a fantastic system of 10 heavenly stems and 12 mundane branches. The latter correspond to 12 animals with two symbolic functions. Each animal is mystically related to one year in a 12-year cycle. Each animal also represents two hours or one-twelfth of every day. A person’s future is determined by this intriguing system. The animal astrological chart must be understood against the background of the Chinese Yinyang principle. It is a concept of symbiotic dualism. Everything, physical and spiritual, has an opposite and corresponding condition. In other words, every Yin has its Yang, and every Yang has its Yin. Yang is the positive principle: male, light, heaven and sun. Yin is the negative counterpart: female, shade, earth and moon. Yin and Yang have their designated hours of the day, an important factor in Chinese astrology. RAT 子鼠 If you were born in 1900, 1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, your sign is the Rat.

  • God's Witness in the Stars
    Gary Glenney GOD’S WITNESS IN THE STARS August 17, 2013 1 God’s divine ordinances (spiritual law code) are seen in the heavens. (Job 38:33) 2. The heavenly constellations were created and designed by God. (Job 38:32) a. The term “constellation” is a translation of the Hebrew word, mazzaroth - torZ*m^, which means: a scattering, and is found only once in the Bible. b. These constellations are configurations formed by groupings of stars which have been designated as representing prophetic pictures. c. The star patterns do not necessarily form obvious pictures, but the pictures and their meanings have been attached to them by God. (Psalm 147:4; cf. Job 9:9; Job 38:31; Amos 5:8) d. Their names and meanings were apparently revealed to Adam and the pre-flood (antediluvian) peoples as God’s revelation of His plan of salvation for the human race. e. After the worldwide flood in the time of Noah, 2348 BC, the postdiluvian peoples began changing the names of these constellations by virtue of the confounding of languages at Babel. (Gen. 11:9) f. The meanings of these constellations began to be distorted by man’s unbelief in God the creator. Men began to believe in multiple gods and goddesses and began practicing pagan worship, which included worshipping the stars and the constellations as gods. This distortion has continued down to this day as the pseudo-religion known as Astrology, from aster (a)sth/r - meaning: star) and logos (lo/goj - meaning: word, matter, study). 3.
