All About Chinese zodiac signs
Certainly! Here’s a brief introduction to Chinese astrology:
Chinese astrology, also known as Chinese zodiac or Shengxiao, is a system based on a twelve-year cycle, with each year represented by a specific animal sign. It has a rich history dating back over 2,000 years and is deeply ingrained in Chinese culture.
The twelve animal signs in the Chinese zodiac are Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Each animal sign is believed to possess certain characteristics and traits that influence the personality, compatibility, and destiny of individuals born in that year.
In addition to the animal signs, Chinese astrology also incorporates the five elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. These elements further influence the characteristics of each animal sign, resulting in a 60-year cycle that combines the animal signs with the elements.
