The Chinese Zodiac, also known as the Zodiac, consists of twelve animals that match the twelve earthly branches, including rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs.
In order to facilitate people's memory, the ancients specially designed 12 kinds of animals ("Zodiac") and "Zodiac" to match each other. The order of the zodiac is fixed. The zodiac corresponds to the zodiac, and each zodiac represents one year old.
Since ancient times, people have given the twelve zodiac signs different symbolic meanings.
