Chinese[edit | edit source]
Zodiac[edit | edit source]
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.
Take a look at the following table:
