The Enigmatic Origins of the Chinese Zodiac

It's a mystery that which country created the zodiac first. According to the historical literature, the 12 animals in China used today including the animal selection and their orders were originated in the Han Dynasty (202 BC – 220 AD). The order of the animals is most explained with a folk-tale about how the animals were summoned to heaven by the Jade Emperor who ruled the heavens of China.

What's the Story Behind the 12 Chinese Zodiac Signs?

There are many different versions of stories and folklores related to Chinese zodiac. The most popular one is about the race between the animals. Legend said the Jade Emperor held a race and asked all the animals to participate. The first 12 could be given a place in the calendar. Although the Rat is small, it won the first place by riding on the Ox’s back. The pig got the last one because of stopping to eat. View more Chinese Zodiac Stories. View more Chinese Zodiac Stories.

Why Twelve and Why These Animals?

Ever wondered why the Chinese zodiac has exactly twelve animals, and how these specific creatures were chosen? The answer lies in the stars above and the earth below. But why these particular animals? The chosen twelve form a perfect mirror of ancient Chinese life. Imagine them as three ancient emojis telling humanity's story: the dependable farm animals that fed civilization (horse, ox, goat, pig, dog, chicken); the wild neighbors who inspired awe and fear (tiger, rabbit, monkey, rat, snake); and crowning them all—the magnificent dragon, the ultimate symbol of celestial power that flows through every Chinese heart. This wasn't random selection—it was a brilliant ancient code that connected heaven's cycles with earth's reality, creating a timeless calendar where every animal carries both practical meaning and magical significance.

Why is Chinese Zodiac So Important to the Chinese?

The Chinese zodiac, as an integral part of traditional Chinese culture, has been deeply embedded in the daily lives of the people. From birth, each person is assigned an animal sign that serves as a lifelong symbol and mascot, believed to influence one's behavior, character, and destiny. Each zodiac animal carries distinct personality traits, which the Chinese often use to interpret interpersonal relationships and guide life decisions. For instance, in choosing a partner, people tend to seek those with compatible animal signs. Similarly, during specific zodiac years, individuals are advised to take certain precautions to ensure a smooth and fortunate journey ahead. In essence, the Chinese zodiac is not only a vivid reflection of the rich cultural psyche of the Chinese people but also a lasting legacy of ancient wisdom that continues to shape lives in meaningful ways.

12 Zodiac Signs and Time (Shichen in Chinese)

"Shichen" is a timing unit in ancient China and an old Chinese way of dividing a day. Based on the time of sun rise, the traditional Chinese people divided a day which has 24 hours into 12 segments. These segments with each having two hours are called 'Shichen' in Chinese. Each two-hour period (one Shichen) is given the name of one of the 12 Earthly Branches. By observing life characters of animals in different time periods, the Chinese people linked each 'Shichen' with one of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals. Following are connections between 12 animals and 'Shichen':
