Here’s some trivia: The Rat is the first of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac, embodying the qualities of wealth and optimism. According to the zodiac river crossing myth, the Jade Emperor sent an invitation to all of the animals in the kingdom to attend a great race, which would determine the zodiac order. To win the race, the sly and ambitious rat tricked the ox into giving him a ride across the river – jumping down and landing ahead of the ox, thus winning the race. Since then, the zodiac rat has been associated with the ability to turn unlucky events into fortunate ones.
