The legend says that the Chinese emperor Jade held a Great Race with animals. The race would determine the first twelve zodiac signs. The first twelve animals to cross a river before the end of the race would be featured in the Zodiac. The pig was the last of the animals to arrive, the legend says that it stopped mid-race to eat and fell into a food coma before reaching the finish line.

People born in the Year of the Pig are said to be kind, charitable, loyal and gentle-mannered.
