For nearly 5,000 years, the Chinese culture
has organized time in cycles of twelve years.
This Eastern calendar is based upon the movement
of the moon (as compared to the Western which
follows the sun), and is symbolized by the zodiac circle.
An animal that has unique qualities represents each
year. Therefore, if you are born in a particular year,
then you share the personality of that animal. Now
people worldwide celebrate this two-week-long
festival in the early spring and enjoy the
start of another Chinese New Year.
