Vietnam: The rabbit of the zodiac becomes a cat.
Like China, Tet is the most important traditional festival in Vietnam. On Chinese New Year's Eve, dragon dances, lion dances and song and dance performances will be held on an unprecedented scale across Vietnam. It is worth mentioning that although Vietnam also has 12 zodiac signs, the only one among them is that there is no rabbit, and the rabbit is replaced by a cat.
Why is there no rabbit but a cat among the zodiac animals in Vietnam? There is a saying that the twelve earthly branches "Mao" and "cat" have the same sound, and when it was transmitted to Vietnam, "Mao Nian" was misheard as "Cat Year"; Some people also say that Vietnamese people don't like rabbits but like cats, and think that since there are rats in the zodiac, there should also be cats, and cats can overcome rats. Perhaps, this is a reflection of the Vietnamese people's concept of "ecological balance".
