What is the Chinese Zodiac?
The Chinese Zodiac, known as Sheng Xiao, is a repeating cycle of 12 years, with each year represented by an animal. These animals are deeply rooted in Chinese culture and influence various aspects of life, from astrology to daily decisions.
A Rich Cultural Heritage
Originating over 2,000 years ago, the Chinese Zodiac system is believed to have been developed during the Han Dynasty. It combines astronomy, philosophy, and folklore to create a unique way of understanding personality traits and destiny.
The 12-Year Cycle
Unlike the Western zodiac which follows a monthly cycle, the Chinese Zodiac follows a 12-year cycle, with each year associated with one of 12 animals. These animals, in order, are: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.
Beyond Astrology
The influence of the zodiac extends beyond personal horoscopes. It’s used in traditional Chinese medicine, agriculture, and even in important life decisions like marriage and business partnerships.
