hi...

Some historians estimate that Chinese astrology as been around since 2800 BC. Its zodiac is divided into twelve signs, with each sign represented by an animal. Each sign represents not a period of time within the year, but a whole year. How did it come to be that animals represented the signs? The origins of the Chinese zodiac are unknown, but there are two legends. Legend #1 says that Buddha was lying on his deathbed when he called the animals from the forest to come and bid him goodbye. The first 12 to appear were the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, ram, monkey, cock, dog and boar so they were used in the zodiac.
