•The Chinese animal signs are distributed in a 12-year cycle.
•They represent a cyclical concept of time, rather than the Western linear concept of time.
•The Chinese Lunar Calendar is based on the cycles of the moon, and is constructed in a different fashion than the Western solar calendar. •In the Chinese calendar, the beginning of the year falls somewhere between late January and early February on the second new moon after the Winter Solstice.•The Chinese have adopted the Western/Gregorian calendar since 1911, but the lunar calendar is still used for festive occasions such as the Chinese New Year. • The Chinese Zodiac has a similar form of the
Western horoscope. • The animal signs also serve a useful social
function for finding out people’s ages.
