Do you know the legend of Chinese New Year?\u00a0 Legend has it that centuries ago 12 animals were overheard by a Jade Emperor, arguing about who the New Year should be named after.\u00a0 He decided they should have a race from one side of the river to the other and whoever one would have the year named after them.\u00a0 All the animals thought they were good enough to win so agreed.\u00a0 They set off swimming and the Ox took the lead; however just as he was about to reach the other side the rat jumped on to his tail, climbed across his back and then jumped off his nose on to the riverbed.\u00a0 The rat had won the race and was named The Year of the Rat.\u00a0 The Jade Emperor decided all 12 animals should have a year named after them and they now make up the Chinese Zodiac.<\/p>\n
