Chinese Zodiac Legend

Chinese Zodiac from James O'Sullivan

Zodiac Animals

 

For a long time there has been a special relationship between humans and the 12 zodiacal animals. It is believed that the years represented by the animals affect the characters of people who were born on that year. This is the order of the animals ( some zodiac animals change according to different culture): rat, ox, tiger, cat, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig.

Your Vietnamese culture homework for this week is to research about one animals and post it as a comment for this blog entry. There are also the 4 mythical creatures that you can do your research on : dragon, Chinese unicorn, turtle and phoenix.
