TOPIC/THE CHINESE ZODIAC

This is the photo of Chinese zodiac

• 2021 is the Year of the Ox according to Chinese zodiac. This is a Year of Metal Ox, starting from the 2021 Chinese New Year on Feb. 12 and lasting to 2022 Lunar New Year's Eve on Jan. 31. 2022 is the Year of the Tiger.

• What is Chinese Zodiac?
• The Chinese zodiac, known as Sheng Xiao or Shu Xiang, features 12 animal signs in this order: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. Originated from ancient zoolatry and boasting a history of more than 2,000 years, it plays an essential role in Chinese culture. The 12 Chinese zodiac animals in a cycle are not only used to represent years in China, but also believed to influence people’s personalities, career, compatibility, marriage, and fortune.

• People’s birth years determine their Chinese zodiac signs. However, things are not that easy! There is an animal representing each year, but the “year” is defined by Chinese lunar calendar, not the Gregorian year you are familiar with from Jan. 1st to Dec. 31st.
• The dates of Chinese Lunar New Year vary every year, but will fall on a day in January or February. If you were born on a day during March to December, it won’t be difficult to figure out your zodiac animal sign, but for people with birthdays in January or February, there are bigger chances of mistaking their signs.

• You can use our zodiac calculator to search for your animal sign. Select your Gregorian date of birth in the widget, and it will reveal your date of birth according to the lunar calendar, together with your sign.
• The 12 zodiac animals are shown below in order, with recent years for you to directly find out your own birth year and animal sign.

• Origin of Chinese Zodiac
• The records from the excavated ancient bamboo books have proved the existance of Chinese zodiac before the Qin Dyansty (221 – 207BC), and the complete 12 animals’ cycle had been set before or during the Eastern Han Dynasty (25 – 220AD). What’s the origin of this mysterious theory with more than 2,000 years’ history?
• There is actually no conclusion, but the various guesses and legends make it more intriguing.
