hours. In the terms of yin and yang (阴阳—yīn yáng), the Rat is yang and represents the
beginning of a new day.


In Asian culture, rats were seen as a sign of wealth and surplus. Because of their
reproduction rate, married couples also prayed to them for children.

order. This zodiac sign is also associated with the “Flower of Love” - the Rat year
