The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and we will be in the year of the pig. Pig-shaped home decorations, toys and other objects in our daily life are popular among shoppers.

The Pig is the 12th of the 12-year cycle of animals that appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese lunar calendar. According to the myths, the Pig was the last to arrive when the Jade Emperor called for the great meeting.
