The story of the 12 animals zodiac in China
Author: Wong Yee Lee
The story of the 12 animals zodiac in China
One day, Tian Di (The God Above) wanted to manage all animals on earth. He took out 12 chairs and told the cat to tell 11 other animals to go to the sky palace.
When the cat told the ox about it, the rat overheard the news. The rat was very angry and he ran as fast as he could to the palace. As a result he got there before the ox. Tian Di then let him sit on the first chair. The ox took the second seat. Then the tiger, the rabbit all came and settled on the chairs. From then onwards, the rat comes the first in the zodiac cycle. The cat was not in the cycle because he went to tell other animals. Ever since, the cat is not in the zodiac cycle.
The truth is that cats are not originated from China but just imported from overseas. That is another reason why cats are not included in the animals zodiac.
In fact, different countries consist of different animals. India has lions whilst Egypt has cats.
In the Chinese animal zodiac, different animals have different characteristics.
Rat - Though it has nature of stealing. It is smart and has good Ox - It is hard-working and ask for little. Tiger - It is brave, strong, and is the king of all animals. Rabbit - It is cute and loved by children. It runs very fast. Dragon - The only imaginary animal. Only kings can be referred to as dragon. After all these years, people have come up with this description of a dragon: deer horn, fish scales, snake body, chicken feet and phoenix tail. And all Chinese people are the offspring of dragon. Snake - Also known as little dragon. Snakes are known to be devilish because of its poisonous nature. However, snakes are very useful, particularly its gall bladder, which is a very healthy medicine in China. Horse - The fastest running animal. Before people invented vehicles, horses were the only transportation tool. Ram - An animal symbolizes submissiveness and good luck. Monkey - Clever, like humans. It is often used to describe smart and clever children. Cock - Hens are very protective to their chicks. Dog - Although dogs are highly respected in the west and loyal to their masters, in China, they are rude and not respectful. Chinese consider them not a cute animal. Pig - The last one in the cycle. It is slow and lazy though they are clever.
It is believed that people born in different animal years would carry their characteristics and this would affect the person's life. That is why the year of the dragon is highly favoured since people want their children to be as respectful as a dragon.

Keeping Gars - A short review |

Keeping Gars A short review By William Berg of Sweden, for http://www.aquaticcommunity.com If you take a quick look at this species they don't seem like aquarium fishes. They are large and highly predatory. But then again, these are qualities that attract some, like me! If you've been keeping aquariums for a while and have the room to keep large predatory fishes I recommend you try these fish, but not until you've done your homework and know the gars' requirements and what you are getting yourself into. Species of gar: Florida spotted gar, Lepisosteus platyrhinchus A highly varied species of gar. Has more spots on its body and a shorter snout than many other gars. Easily mistaken for spotted gar. Spotted gar, Lepisosteus oculatus Long snout and spots. Spots to a higher degree towards the posterior of its body. Easily mistaken for Florida spotted gar. Shortnosed gar, Lepisosteus platostomus The shortnosed gar can be identified by its short snout, and by the lack of teeth... |
