=== Zodiac ===
[[File:Chinese_Zodiac_polyglotclub.png|thumb]]
 
Chinese zodiac is used in East Asia, Central Asia and part of West Asia. The signs are determined by the activities of animals in a day. Dragon is determined by the foggy time of a day, because it was believed that the dragon is associated with the fog.
 
地支 (dìzhī; dei6 zi1; tē-tsi): the twelve earthly branches, opposed by 天干 (tiāngān; tin1 gon1; thian-kan) the ten heavenly stems.
 
In Chinese, the words for 地支 can not indicate the animal, while in most other languages, the animals must be made clear.

== Mesoamerican ==
There are two types of Mesoamerican calendars: a 260-day calendar for ritual practice and a 365-day calendar for daily life.
In the 260-day calendar, days are divided into 20 cycles evenly; in the 365-day calendar, days are divided into 18 cycles evenly with 5 remaining days.
