The Chinese have 2 major holidays, August Moon and Chinese New year which is celebrated in late January or early February due to the Lunar Calender. The US uses the Solar one. There is a legend about the Chinese New year about animals and how God chose them to be in a part of a banquet. The rat was the first animal who got there first, so the first year was dedicated to the rat. Next came the ox,tiger, hare, dragon, snake,horse, ram, monkey, rooster, dog and lastly the pig. (in some there the cat is mention, but he didn't make it because the rat tricked him into believing the banquet was a day later). These animals are basically what the Chinese use to represent the year. For example 2009 is the year of the Ox and next year is the year of the Tiger.
