'The Twelve Zodiac Animals'
The Twelve Zodiac Animals (十二支) symbolize a traditional East Asian astrological system used to mark the passage of time and distinguish between years. Within this system, each of the 12 symbols corresponds to a specific year and is represented by an emblematic animal.
These 12 animals include rats, oxen, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, roosters, dogs, and pigs.
The practice of associating animals with each year appears to have been influenced by the 12 animals that originated in India, alongside Buddhist traditions. However, the exact evolution of this custom to represent animals in a broader context remains somewhat obscure.
Countries that incorporate 'The Twelve Zodiac Animals' into their cultures include Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, India, Korea, and China. While Korea and China share the same animals, Japan designates the boar, not the pig, and Vietnam features the cow, rabbit, water buffalo, cat, and goat, rather than sheep.
In Korea, individuals born in a particular year are assigned a 'sign' based on 'The Twelve Zodiac Animals.' For instance, someone born in 1990 is born in the Year of the Horse. This system continues to be an integral part of Korean culture, often leading to interpretations of personality traits based on one's zodiac sign.
