Year of the ???

Until the early 1900s, the Chinese culture used a very different calendar than the one we presently use in western civilization. This ancient calendar was based on the cycles of the moon, and repeated itself every 12 years.

A dozen animals were chosen to represent each year. Each animal description also is supposed to say something about individuals born during that particular phase of the moon.

While many Chinese no longer take these animal descriptions seriously, they still use their ancient calendar to celebrate various festive occasions, such as the Chinese New Year, which falls somewhere between late January and early February.
