The Chinese zodiac moves in a 12-year cycle, and those born in 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, and 2018 are also known as Dogs. According to the Asian astrology, your year of birth - and the animal this represents - determines a lot about your personality traits. Although each of the twelve animals gets an outing every dozen years, there are different varieties - and 2018 will be the first Year of the Earth Dog since 1958. Anyone born in an Earth Dog year will be communicative, serious, and responsible in the workplace. 2018年過的那種動物年 2018年過的是狗年 中國的十二生肖以12年為周期，出生在1958年、1970年、1982年、1994年、2006年和2018年出生的生肖屬狗。根據亞洲風水學的說法，你出生年份，以及它所屬的動物，決定了你性格的方方面面。每隔十幾年，12只各不相同動物都會輪流出現(xiàn)一次，自1958以來，2018年才首次出現(xiàn)狗年。 出生在狗年的人善于交流、認真和負責。  A street celebration in Ankang, Shaanxi Province of China Which Chinese zodiac animal am I? The Chinese animal zodiac or shengxiao, which means ''born resembling'', are arranged in a repeating cycle of 12 years. The animal changes at the beginning of the Chinese New Year, and traditionally these animals were used to date the years. However, Chinese New Year is a movable celebration, dictated by the lunar cycle, which can fall anytime between January 21 and February 20. This year, for example, it will be celebrated on Friday, 16th February.

The choice of animals is significant - the ox, horse, goat, rooster, pig, and dog are six of the main domestic animals raised by Chinese people. While the rat, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake and monkey are all loved by the Chinese. The animals were separated into two categories - yin and yang - depending on whether they have an odd or even number of claws, toes or hooves. They were then arranged into an alternating yin and yang sequence. It''s a little known fact that the zodiac animals can also be used to tell the time. Here''s how the Chinese clock works: 如何知道那年對應的是那個生肖?。?br>對中國人來說多歸屬于牛、馬、山羊、公雞、豬和狗，但大部分人都比較喜愛鼠、虎、龍、蛇與猴。 這些生肖可分為陰陽兩類，這取決于這些生肖的爪子、腳趾或腳蹄是奇數還是偶數。 然后它們按陰陽交替排列。 鮮為人知的事實是，生肖也可以用來判斷時間。這是中國時鐘的工作原理。 中國時鐘對應表 子: 11pm-1am · 丑: 1am-3am · 寅: 3am-5am · 卯: 5am-7am · 辰: 7am-9am · 巳: 9am-11am · 午: 11am-1pm · 未: 1pm-3pm · 申: 3pm-5pm · 酉: 5pm-7pm · 戌: 7pm-9pm · 亥: 9pm-11pm What is the Chinese Zodiac story? 中國十二生肖有何傳說？ Legend has it that, back in the ancient days, the Jade Emperor ordered that animals would become part of the calendar - and that the 12 who arrived first would be selected. At the time, the cat and the rat were good friends. When they heard the news, the cat said to the rat: ''We should arrive early to sign up, but I usually get up late.'' The rat promised to wake his pal up so they could go together but, because he was so excited, forgot and went alone. On the way, the rat bumped into the tiger, ox, horse and other animals - who were all much faster than him. He hatched a plan and convinced the ox to carry him on his back - on the condition that the rat sang throughout the journey. The ox arrived first, but the rat sneaked in front of him and became the first lucky animal. By the time the cat arrived, the selection was over - which is why the cat hates the rat and will always try to chase and kill him. 傳說早在古代，玉皇大帝在制作黃歷時下達命令，要求最先到達的12只動物會中選。那時，貓和老鼠還是好朋友。當他們聽到這個消息后，貓對鼠說：“我們應該早點到，但我怕起晚了。”鼠回應說。到時候我會去叫你的，然后一起出發(fā)。但由于它過于，忘了叫醒貓這檔事，獨自一人去了。路上，老鼠碰上了虎、牛、馬和其他動物，可這些動物走的都比他走的快的多。他因此想出一個主意，它跟牛說只要背著它走，可以途中為它唱歌。后來牛雖然先到了那里，但老鼠偷偷地跳到他前面，成為第一個幸運動物。 |
