十二生肖闹大年

In ancient times, the human world lacked a unified calendar, leading to constant disputes. The Jade Emperor ordered all creatures to race across the Heavenly River, with the first to reach the South Heavenly Gate becoming one of the zodiac animals. Amidst the rushing currents and treacherous rapids of the Heavenly River, a fierce competition unfolded among the beasts. The final order was established: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. These twelve were tasked with overseeing the human calendar, and their legacy became deeply woven into Chinese culture, with their stories passed down through generations.
