【2025浙江温州调研】While Chinese people celebrate the Year of Rabbit,
people in Vietnam celebrate the Year of Cat. In the Chinese zodiac (生肖)
there are 12 animals, and the 4th animal is the rabbit. While in the Vietnamese
zodiac, the 4th animal is the cat. Why does the cat substitute for the rabbit in
Vietnam?

Ancient storytellers said the Jade Emperor organized a race across a river for
all the animals in the world. The first 12 to reach the other side would appear
in the zodiac. In the Chinese story, the cat and the rat were crossing the river
on the back of an ox when the rat pushed the cat into the water. The rat won
the race and that is why cats have been hunting rats ever since. But in the
Vietnamese zodiac story, there wasn’t a rabbit, and the cat could swim and ended
up arriving. So the two countries have different origins (起源) of the zodiac.
A lecturer said the custom has something to do with the landscape of
Vietnam.“In the past, the Chinese lived in the plate area, while the Vietnamese

lived in the lowland area. People in the plate area chose the rabbit as an animal
that lived in the wild fields. But people in the lowland area considered rabbits as
