Motif: Two dragons wound around a man Chinese horoscope is among the oldest in the world. It was created in China about 1000 BC and had its flourishing period owing to the development of astronomy and cosmology and popularity of Confucius’ teachings in the time of Han Dynasty. It is most popular in China and other countries of East Asia and – with the migrations of Asian inhabitants slowly makes its way also to Europe and USA. Its tradition reaches far in history and the legends about its origin vary. Among most popular is the legend about Buddha who invited all animals to visit him (one version says this took place when he lay dying and the other that it happened on new year’s celebration) but only 12 animals paid him a visit in following order: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Hare, Dragon, Serpent, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Boar. Buddha awarded their loyalty naming each year by one of the animals. Also today, the signs of Chinese zodiac follow the order of animals’ arrival, each of them ruling for one year (in difference to western astrology where the signs rule for one month each). Apart from on twelve signs Chinese horoscope is based also on five elements: wood, metal, water, fire and earth, as well as on two principles: yin and yang. The combination of 12 signs and five elements results in a 60-months cycle. (read more)
