In order to test their determination and desire, the great god created an obstacle on their way - a wide, stormy river. Those animals who overcame it and came to see Buddha off, no matter what, received a special reward and now dominate each year in turn. The dragon came in fifth. One of his subjects is 1976. What other animal might be missing in a 12-year cycle? The distribution is particularly harmonious and does not require any additions or exceptions.
