The Chinese zodiac is an ancient system that dates back thousands of years. According to Chinese legend, the animals of the zodiac were drawn to a banquet held by the Jade Emperor. The first animal to arrive was the rat, followed by the ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. The twelve animals were then designated as the signs of the Chinese zodiac. Each animal is said to represent certain personalities and traits.
