[quote=SERENA07,227780]The year of 2007 is the “Year of the Pig” according to the Chinese zodiac. Pig always means wealth or luck in the opinion of many Chinese people. However, it is not an ordinary pig year in the turn of 12 years. Many people believe that it is the “Year of the Golden Pig” which comes every 600 years.

According to Chinese Taoist philosophy, there are five elements influencing the world and people’s fate. They are metal, water, wood, fire, and earth. If the number of a year ends in 6 or 7, it is a fire year. So the year of 2007 is actually a Pig Year blessed by the golden fire.

There comes a problem: people say babies born in the golden pig year will have comfortable and wealthy lives. Statistics show that many women plan to give birth to babies this year. That may result in a baby boom which will later cause a series of problems such as acute competition for schooling and employment.

What’s your opinion on this issue? Do you believe in the “Golden Pig Year”?
