Well, let me tell ya ’bout this 1839 Chinese zodiac thing, alright? It’s all about the pig, ya hear? 1839, that was a pig year, plain and simple.
Now, they say if you was born in 1839, you’re a pig. Lucky as a dog with two tails, some folks say. Don’t ask me how a pig gets lucky like a dog, that’s just what they say.
- They got this whole Chinese calendar thing, see?
- Every year is an animal.
- And 1839, it was the pig’s turn.
This pig year, it started on February 14th, 1839. Imagine that, Valentine’s Day and the start of the pig year all at once! Maybe that’s why they say them pig year folks are lucky in love, who knows?
They call it an “Earth Pig” year, too. Don’t ask me what that means. Sounds like a dirty pig to me, but maybe it means somethin’ fancy. They got all these colors and elements mixed in with the animals, makes my head spin, it does.
But the main thing is, it’s a pig. And pigs, well, they’re supposed to be somethin’ special in this Chinese zodiac thing. They say pigs are calm and peaceful. Don’t like fightin’ and arguin’. Kinda like me, I reckon, though I ain’t afraid to speak my mind when I need to.
Now, this whole zodiac thing, it goes in cycles of twelve years. Twelve animals, goin’ round and round. Rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and then the pig. See? Twelve of ‘em. And then it starts all over again.
They say the rabbit is the luckiest of the bunch, but in 2024, it’s the monkeys, roosters, and pigs that are supposed to have the most luck. Go figure. Maybe that pig luck from 1839 carries over, huh?
Some folks, they really get into this zodiac stuff. They think it tells ya everything about yourself, ’bout your future, ’bout who you should marry, all that jazz. Me, I don’t know ’bout all that. But it’s interesting, ain’t it? To think that the year you was born could mean somethin’ special.
So, 1839, the year of the pig. If you was born then, consider yourself lucky. Or maybe just a pig, dependin’ on how you look at it. Either way, it’s somethin’ to think about, somethin’ to talk about, somethin’ to remember.
And remember, it’s not just any pig year, it’s the Earth Pig year. Makes ya wonder what kinda dirt they were diggin’ up in 1839, don’t it? Maybe they found some gold, maybe they found some trouble. Who knows? That’s the thing about history, it’s full of surprises.
Anyways, that’s the long and short of it, this 1839 Chinese zodiac. It’s all ’bout the pig. The Earth Pig, to be exact. And if you ask me, that’s a pretty good animal to be. Pigs ain’t so bad. They’re kinda cute, when they ain’t rollin’ in the mud. And they’re supposed to be lucky, so there you have it.
So next time someone asks ya ’bout the Chinese zodiac, you tell ’em ’bout the pig year of 1839. Tell ’em it started on Valentine’s Day. Tell ’em it was an Earth Pig year. And tell ’em, if they was born that year, they’re lucky as a dog with two tails. That oughta get ’em thinkin’.
