What I learned back in China was that the rat was supposed to wake the cat up, but the rat didn't wake the cat up and went to the race, then asked the ox to carry the rat, but the rat cleverly jumped off and was declared as the first zodiac, followed by the other animals. When the cat woke up and went to the race, the cat saw that everyone was already a part of the 12 zodiacs, including the rat, which is why he vowed not to trust the rat whom he called a friend. I don't know, but maybe the person who taught me was wrong...?
the reason mouse did this was because cat made fun of him for being small. he also said that he was more pretty then mouse. mouse felt just like cat he lied to him so he said this...MOUSE:that's it! I'm throw with this😠 and he ended there friendship. cat felt mad and sad but then...HE TRIED TO CHASE HIM!
Hi otgw! I just want to let you know that i will be showing your video to my class for my assignment on Chinese mythology and legends. I will definitely give credit to your channel and work. Thanks! :)
Oh nice!! I knew of a couple of the tales of the zodiac but this video gives the full picture! And it also helps me remember the order as well! Very well done! Thx!
I loved the way you explained this. It was interested and cleverly funny! Thanks guys OTGW crew for always giving us fun, insightful, and amazing skits. I love learning about your culture through your videos :) P.S. I'm a snake
From what i know, there are 5 elements in a cycle, and each elements has a 2 years cycle, (the yang year then the yin year).... so if we start from the yang wood rat, the next would be the (yin) wood ox, then the fire tiger, fire rabbit, earth dragon, earth snake, metal horse, metal goat, water monkey, water rooster, wood dog,, wood pig, fire rat, fire ox... note that wood->fire->earth->metal->water->wood-> (in a cycle)...which is how the 5 traditional chines elements follow each other.
Dragons gangsta fam, helping the hood first than anything. But then again cat aint gang-bustin with Drag, not to mention that cat get beat up by rat hence Drag aint helpin no fool.
I'm 100% Han Chinese, with pure blood Han Chinese ancestry. I'm a distant relative of one of the dynasty warriors in the Three Kingdoms Era. Should I consider myself more superior than white Europeans?
I really like your videos and always could find a good one to show to my students. However, the video would be perfect if you could speak little bit slower.
+Off the Great Wall Hey Guy´s I am Michael from Austria ( no Kangaroos) this year I will go to China for 3 Weeks. For me, China is the most Interesting Land of the World, thanks of your Videos my anticipation are so big. Thank you for so much great and interesting Videos Have a nice day
Smart- Rat Strong - Bull and Tiger (bull finishing ahead of tiger because of Rat's intelligence)😁 Wise - Dragon Hardworking - Horse Cunning/creative - Snake Team Players - Sheep, Monkey and Rooster (Rooster being leader allowed other 2 to reach ahead of him) Playful - Dog Lazy - Pig Couldn't think anything about Rabbit may be solo player sticking to his strength rather being dependent.
the horoscopes are based on the constellations. 12 months is only a recent invention, in the early roman empire, only 10 months were used, and 2 months added later.

zi drive chou road yin street mao place chen crescent si grove wu parade wei avenue shen close you circuit xu court hai terrace
This is also the version that I heard c: I prefer this version actually
Just 2 different versions. You know China is big and after so many years, stories can be told in different regions of China
vylette v.
That’s how I learned it...I thought it was weird they had 2 versions...
the reason mouse did this was because cat made fun of him for being small. he also said that he was more pretty then mouse. mouse felt just like cat he lied to him so he said this...MOUSE:that's it! I'm throw with this😠 and he ended there friendship. cat felt mad and sad but then...HE TRIED TO CHASE HIM!
2:31 that some good food
I feel bad for the cat
Yeah, i hate the rat.
Same😭😭
same especially cuz I’m a rat
Wait so if the cat was Chinese zodiac sign what will it make for us 🔥🐶🔥 Dogs and Cats ? Since some dogs hate cats? Many it’s good to stay the rat tbh.
tohru coded😔
So Pikachu could've become part of the Zodiac huh... Dang it! He didn't make it!
The rat betraying the cat part made me laugh especially at the end XD
wait really? well....I actually think that it was sad. no efents but why do you think that's funny?
🐭🐮🐯. 🐰🐲🐍. 🐴🐑🐵. 🐔🐶🐷
Morbjørn your a madman then.
To think how awesome it would be if there was a year of the cat..
I would love to be year of the cat
That was actually the story for why the Vietnamese zodiac has a year of the cat, and the chinese don't. It replaces the bunny.
+кαиєкι: яє there is actually! In Vietnam they replaced the bunny to a cat
There is! In Viet Nam, the rabbit is replaced by the cat.
There's a good song about it though: Al Stewart - Year of the Cat
1:42 the other 11 animals:oooooooo he better clean his mouth

你好，我是一名中文老师，在课堂上经常会用你们的视频给学生介绍中国文化，非常感谢你们的分享。今天学生发现这个视频里出现了一个不太合适的词，不知道你们是否方便把那个词给消音了，这样还可以继续在中学生的课堂上播放。非常感谢！

***** yeah i know its sad
Watched it! Loved it!
My students are crazily in love with this video.
Earth Dragon - bitches.
However the Dragon puts out a damn fire but can't pick the cat up, brutal.
Dragons gangsta fam, helping the hood first than anything.
But then again cat aint gang-bustin with Drag, not to mention that cat get beat up by rat hence Drag aint helpin no fool.
I'm 100% Han Chinese, with pure blood Han Chinese ancestry. I'm a distant relative of one of the dynasty warriors in the Three Kingdoms Era. Should I consider myself more superior than white Europeans?
and there is pikachu also among all that animals :D
this helped me with my school project. thank you
It's grumpy cat! :D
These drawings are sooo good !!
I am a dragon.I was born in 2000
dragon rule...yeah we are!!
08-16-2000 that's me.
The drawings are so cute! You made the dog proud haha
Pikachu O.o
0:13 left bottom corner
0:15 there's a pikachu there and oh my god it caught my attention very much so
Year of the Tiger BABY!
what happened to all the other NTD channels like the Run List and Interrobang???
is it me or Pikachu is really there...
It's true!!! Pikachu IS an animal!!!
Min Winton it is i mean i watch pokemon but ik he is not a animal if he is then what is he?
how do u draw like that? is it a program or smth? nice drawings btw, very detailed hehe
But luckily another zodiac sign was discovered and the Jade Emperor accepted the cat, now cats no longer hate rats?
Happy Wheeler I don't think the cat would forgive the rat for that
I really like your videos and always could find a good one to show to my students. However, the video would be perfect if you could speak little bit slower.
born in the year of the tiger ^_^....poor kitty =(
My teacher taught us about Chinese zodiac and we watched this vid, she said this is very fast so she slowed it down
Hahaha pig is funny

Snake! ^^

Fruit basket right there. Lol.
I have a question,why is there PIKACHU on the corner of 0:12?
paaaanndaaa?? wish the pandas had won :
Amie Baby just watch kungfu panda, the panda always wins ;-)
The Panda was the "dragon" warrior
Grumpy cat, had me laughing and the "WTF" part. Lol
I hate the rat !
I'm a tiger
Y !? Didn't u watch this vid. ? The rat was so mean
I like your username!!! I'm a snake, I guess I was kinda mean too. But the rat is worse.
My?
do you want to know something...I AM THE YEAR OF THE RAT
for Chinese class, we watched the vid and when the horse went WTF, everyone laughed including our never-laughing teacher XD
This was adorable, great job! ^_^
My teacher played this in class
Smart- Rat
Strong - Bull and Tiger (bull finishing ahead of tiger because of Rat's intelligence)😁
Wise - Dragon
Hardworking - Horse
Cunning/creative - Snake
Team Players - Sheep, Monkey and Rooster (Rooster being leader allowed other 2 to reach ahead of him)
Playful - Dog
Lazy - Pig
Couldn't think anything about Rabbit may be solo player sticking to his strength rather being dependent.
Cute Pikachu
I think I am an Ox. Born early January 1986. Kinda in between the beginning of western year and end of eastern year.
the horoscopes are based on the constellations.
12 months is only a recent invention, in the early roman empire, only 10 months were used, and 2 months added later.
So pikachu was in the race too?
Mine is the Tiger, and legend would be "The Magic Paintbrush". I love that story!
Why did you ad a Pikachu as a Chinese animal
What did you use to draw this?
Did anyone notice the Pikachu at the beginning? haha XD
Image with the zoniacs where super heros
🐀: Shrinking
🐄: Strength
🐅:Hides and attack
🐇:Speed and can dig
🐉: Fire
🐍:Mind control
🐎:2nd speed
🐐:2nd strength
🐒:Clime walls
🐔:Fly

Very interesting and helpful! I have to create a PowerPoint concerning Chinese Zodiac and present it as an oral in class! I found this story very helpful and would be delighted to include it in my oral. Leaving credit and references of course.
That's awesome! Pikachu is in there.
