China uses the Gregorian calendar for civil purposes, but the Chinese lunar calender is also important in China. Each lunar year is associated with one of 12 zodiac animals. The 12 Chinese zodiac animals are: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, pig.
You might found out that Chinese strongly believe that the time of a person's birth day is primary factor in determining that person's characteristics. It is essential in China that every person knows which animal sign he is born under and most of Chinese truly believe that the signs reveal the hidden secrets of a person's character.
