Year of the Golden Pig
In the Chinese horoscope, some of the 12 zodiac animals are considered lucky, including the pig. And this year 2007, which is the fifth Year of the Pig and falls every 60 years, is known as the Year of the Golden Pig.What this means is that couples are rushing to get married so that they can have babies during the Year of the Golden Pig. Children born in this auspicious year are believed to be destined for great material wealth and happiness, since their guardian pig is said to be under the influence of gold and never worries about anything beyond food and sleep.
And even though Chinese authorities discourage such values, dismissing them as superstitions, many Chinese still practice these beliefs, and local media have predicted a baby boom.
