Rat- 1st of 12 Chinese Zodiac Animals
Firstly, let’s introduce the first one of the twelve zodiac animals, the rat. Do you know why the first animal in the Chinese zodiac is a small mouse? There are many legends about this topic.
There is a legend that the Jade Emperor (the highest leader of the heavenly gods) held a river crossing competition, and the cow and mouse formed an alliance to run for first place. At the final moment, the mouse jumped off the cow and won first place.
But I am more inclined towards another legend, that at the beginning of the chaos of heaven and earth, it was rodents that bit through the sky and earth in the dark, creating living space for all things. This pioneering achievement earned it the first honor, and rodents also became the divine beasts of creation.
