WHAT IS
The Chinese zodiac
The Chinese Zodiac Calendar consists of twelve animal signs, and every person’s year of birth corresponds to a specific animal sign. It is said that the attributes of each animal sign are demonstrated in the characteristics of each person born under that sign.
Every year, to celebrate the Chinese New Year, persons of all backgrounds usually ask, “What’s my sign under the Chinese Zodiac?”
