The first year was named after the rat, the winner. The other eleven years were named after the order in which the animals arrived in the race. The clever rat jumped onto the ox’s back then at the end jumped over the ox’s head to arrive first!

　　The Chinese believe that a person born in a particular year has some of the characteristics of animal.
