| Chinese Zodiac - Pig |
| Myths and Folktales |
In Chinese culture, the Pig is the twelfth and last animal in the zodiac cycle. One myth tells that the Jade Emperor declared the order of the zodiac animals would be decided by the order in which they arrived at his party. The Pig was late because he overslept, thus he became the last animal in the cycle. Another tale suggests the Pig feasted and fell asleep during the race, arriving last. The Pig is also associated with the Earthly Branch (地支—dì zhī) Hài (亥), and the hours 9–11 in the night.
