The Chinese Zodiac is based on a twelve year cycle, with each animal representing a lunar year. The order in which the animals appear are: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig. It is believed that people born in a given year have the personality of that year’s animal.
2020 is the Year of the Rat!

Myths and legends abound as to how these animals were decided. However, one website states that the twelve animals were chosen deliberately, after many revisions. The zodiac animals are either closely related to ancient Chinese people’s daily lives, or have lucky meanings.
