The Legend of the Twelve Zodiac Animals

According to legend, the origin of the twelve zodiac animals comes from a
grand animal race organized by the Jade Emperor. He invited all animals to participate, and the first twelve animals to reach the destination would each become a symbol of the zodiac in their respective finishing order.

This race symbolizes not only the intersection of nature’s cycles with the passage of time but also represents the distinctive yet continuous stages in life. The inspiration behind Ruyi’s Twelve Blessings integrates our cultural heritage with modern aesthetics, bestowing each zodiac animal with the powers of
protection, fulfilment and harmony through the craft of liuli.
