Ancient Chinese People used to count
the years with the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches,
and use twelve animals to represent the twelve Earthly
Branches. The twelve animals successively were Mouse,
Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey,
Rooster, Dog and Pig. They were endowed with different
meaning according to their nature, and there came into
being the special Shengxiao culture. Usually, people born
in the year of an animal shall have some common characters
with the animal.
2007 is the year of the pig, which is one of the Six
Domestic Animals in ancient China. Pigs are tamely, naive,
tolerant, and they will never hurt others. In addition,
pigs are born to give and serve. They can bring affluence
to people, and they are the ‘cornucopia’ of farmers. Therefore,
the pig is a sign of tame, naive and rich in Chinese culture
The People’s Bank of China will issue the DingHai Year
(Year of the Pig) Gold and Silver Commemorative Coins
in October 2006. This set of Gold and Silver Commemorative
Coins consists of 13 coins including seven gold coins
and six silver coins. |
