The Sign Rabbit in Mythology
There are many legends and stories about the animals chosen to be part of the Chinese astrological system. One of these legends refers to the desire of the Jade Emperor to know the animals that inhabited the Earth. He decided that some of them would be brought before him. To facilitate the selection, the Emperor defined two criteria: they would have to be useful animals to Man or be one of the first to arrive at the Heavenly Palace on the day of choosing the animals.
In ancient times, Rabbit and Ox were friends and neighbors. One day, the Rabbit claimed that he was the best runner of all animals and that the Ox could never catch him. The two friends began to argue and their friendship was shaken. After the Emperor's appeal, and when the day came for the animals to go to the Palace, Rabbit left early and broke the promise he had made with the Ox to leave together.
At some point in the trip, when he saw that there were no more animals, and thought he was the first, Rabbit leaned over to take a nap. When he woke up, he saw that Tiger was overtaking him. He ran as fast as he could, but when he reached the Palace he realized that, in addition to the Tiger, the Ox and the Rat had also arrived before him. In spite of the Ox, he started to live under the ground, where his descendants still live today.
When it came time to select the animals, the Emperor assigned him fourth place in the Chinese Horoscope due to his beautiful white coat.
