Chinese Zodiac
Eairier, we have know about chinese new year and lunar new year on this blog chinese new year.In
china, these are 12 different anamal sighs for every single year,
twelve year is a circle, and a cycle of sixty years a more
significance, we will talk about this latter in this blog!Lately I`m interested in horoscopes and Chinese zodiac. I`m curious about these things. It's interesting that we have 12 Chinese zodiac in China, and the west culture have 12 signs too.
Identifying this scheme using the term "zodiac" reflects several similarities to the Western zodiac: both have time cycles divided into 12 parts, each labels at least the majority of those parts with names of animals, and each is widely associated with a culture of attributing influence of a person's relationship to the cycle upon their personality and/or events in their life. Nevertheless, there are major differences: the "Chinese" 12-part cycle is divided into years rather than months; contrary to the association with animals implied in the Greek etymology of "zodiac", actually four of the Western "signs" or "houses" are represented by humans (one such sign being the twins "Gemini") and one is the inanimate balance scale "Libra"; the animals of the Chinese zodiac are not associated with constellations, let alone those spanned by the ecliptic plane
