Agile Patient Graceful Powerful Mysterious The Legend of the Snake in the Chinese Zodiac Long ago, the Jade Emperor planned to choose twelve animals for the Chinese zodiac based on their arrival order at his palace on a special day. All the animals were excited to participate, and the snake, which had legs then and was swift, was no exception. On the race day, the crafty rat rode on the ox's back and became the first zodiac animal by jumping off just before reaching the palace. The ox came second, and the tiger followed as the third. The snake slithered and ran fast, keeping up with many other animals. But on the way, it encountered a wounded frog. Despite the crucial race and the hope of a high ranking, the snake stopped. It used herbs and its knowledge to treat the frog's injuries. This kind act cost it precious time, and several animals passed it by. After healing the frog, the snake resumed its journey. When it finally reached the palace, it was the sixth to arrive. The Jade Emperor, who had been watching, was deeply moved by the snake's kindness. Although it didn't rank high in speed, the Emperor decided to reward it. He gave the snake a special place in the zodiac and the power of shedding its skin for renewal. Also, the Emperor thought the snake's inner strength and kindness made its legs unnecessary. So, the legs were removed, and since then, the snake has moved by slithering on its belly. This is how the snake became one of the twelve zodiac animals, symbolizing wisdom, transformation, and the strength of kindness. People born in the Year of the Snake are said to inherit these qualities from this ancient tale. 在中国传统的生肖纪年中，蛇年有着独特而神秘的地 位。蛇，作为十二生肖中灵动而狡黠的存在，承载着羊 富的文化内涵与历史记忆。 the Year of the Rat          鼠年 the Year of the Ox           牛年 the Year of the Tiger       虎年 the Year of the Rabbit     兔年 the Year of the Loong      龙年 the Year of the Snake      蛇年 the Year of the Horse      马年 the Year of the Goat        羊年 the Year of the Monkey   猴年 the Year of the Rooster   鸡年 the Year of the Dog         狗年 the Year of the Pig          猪年 What’s your Chinese zodiac/ animal sign? 春节申遗 北京时间2024年12月4日，我国申报的“春节——中国人庆祝传统新年的社会实践”在巴拉圭亚松森举行的联合国教科文组织保护非物质文化遗产政府间委员会第19届常会上通过评审，列入联合国教科文组织人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录。至此，我国共有44个项目列入联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产名录、名册总数居世界第一。 春节申遗 The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) on Wednesday inscribed Spring Festival, social practices of the Chinese people in celebration of the traditional new year, on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
