| The Chinese Zodiac began in the 6th century AD and is still practiced today. According to Chinese belief, those people born in a certain year are strongly influenced by the characteristics of the corresponding animal. In the Chinese zodiac, each successive year is named for one of 12 animals. These 12 year cycles are continuously repeated and combined with a sequence of the five elements (water, wood, fire, metal, earth) in a 60 year major cycle. |
