We have twelve zodiac animals in China. They are mice, cattle, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs.
The twelve zodiac signs are the visual representatives of the twelve earthly branches, namely, the child ( rat ), the ugly ( cow ), the yin ( tiger ), the bases ( rabbit ), the Chen ( dragon ), the si ( snake ), the noon ( horse ), the Wei ( sheep ), the Shen ( monkey ), the you ( chicken ), the Xu ( dog ) and the hai ( pig ).
with the development of history, each zodiac sign has rich legends and forms a system of concept interpretation, which has become an image philosophy in folk culture, such as wedding signs, temple prayers and Ben ( pig ) In modern times, more and more people regard the zodiac as the mascot of the Spring Festival and become a symbol of entertainment and cultural activities.
