People born in the Year of the Pig are honest and frank, chivalrous and gallant. They have a calm appearance and strong heart. They do whatever they want with their strength. They are tolerant and optimistic, but not until they become your friends can their virtue, advantages and fidelity to friendship be appreciated. They are quick tempered, but hate arguments and quarreling.

Most children grow up with the story of the Three Little Pigs, who make vastly different choices in building their homes, after setting out on their own. The Big Bad Wolf, the villain of the story, "Huffs and Puffs and blows their house(s) down" until they are all huddled at the home of their friend who was wise and built his house from brick.
