chinese zodiac

十二生肖 十二支 干支 干支娘 干支擬人化

The Shēngxiào (Chinese: 生肖), better known in English as the Chinese Zodiac, is a scheme that relates each year to an animal and its reputed attributes, which, combined with the 5 Chinese elements (fire, water, earth, wood, metal), creates a 60-year cycle.

Unlike the Western zodiac, it has no relation to the constellations on the ecliptic.

Many other Asian countries have adopted the Chinese Zodiac as well, sometimes with slight changes (see below).

This tag is automatically applied when the image reference at least one of the Chinese Zodiac, such as various New Year arts.
