There are many iterations of how the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac came to be. One iteration depicts a race across a rapid river with the twelve winners being represented on the calendar. Others say that a god demanded all the animals say goodbye to a god before he departed Earth. The twelve animals on the calendar were the only ones to show up. No matter which version of the story you know, the twelve animals remain the same. 2024 welcomes us to the Year of the Dragon, the only mythical being on the calendar.
