Origin and History
The Chinese zodiac, also known as the “zodiac signs”, is an important component of traditional Chinese culture. Originating from the ancient Chinese heavenly stems and earthly branches chronology system, twelve animals correspond one-to-one with the twelve earthly branches, namely: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.
According to historical records, the zodiac culture can be traced back to at least the Qin and Han dynasties, and similar animal totems have even been found in earlier Neolithic sites. This system is not only used for recording years, months, and days, but also deeply embedded in folk beliefs, fortune telling, feng shui, and other fields.
