Happy Chinese New Year! Ever wonder why each Chinese year is named after a different animal? According to legend, the Buddha once asked every animal to meet him on New Year’s Day. Only 12 came – the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig – so he named a year after each one in attendance. Each year is said to take on traits of its animal, as are people born during that year. For example, individuals born during the Year of the Horse are considered cheerful, energetic, witty, and talented. Because apparently horses are witty.
