Question

When it comes to the year of the, i.e. rat, dog....what ethnicity does that come from, chinese?

Answer 1

Yes it is chinese and it comes from lunar astrology like here in america we have western astrology(virgo,pices,etc..etc.> In lunar its rat,boar etc..

The way lunar astrology came to be  according to the ancient chinese. Buddah knew his last days on earth were coming and before he left our world to move on to the next he wanted to share his knowledge with all the animals of the world. i am giving you the short version>> Buddah wen to the tree of wisdom and there he found a rat the rat was the first he came in contact with he told his story and said that he had 1 week to get theese  all the animals back here to be told the knowledge of the world. The rat went after a struggle b/c he was so small he came to a boar and the boar gave the rat a ride b/c he was bigger and they could cover more ground you see the rat is first in line in lunar astrology it begins the 12 animal cycle till the next lunar year begins. The boar is second in line b/c he choose to help the small rat if you read this story it actuall tells you the char of each lunar sign and the way the react to the animals telling them they need to be somewhere ishow the ancient chinese say they found the real key to unlocking they personality type...haha wowo i love astrology!!

Answer 2
