Lead-in :The Chinese Horoscope(星座)
Chinese astrology(占星术,占星学 ) has a 3,000
year history. The Ancient Chinese originally
invented the 10 Heavenly Stems (天干)and
12 Earthly Branches (地支)for chronological
(依时间前后排列而记载的purposes. However,
since most people were illiterate in that day,
12 animals were designated(指定) to
symbolize the 12 Earthly Branches for the
common person. The lucky animals chose
were the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake,
horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig
successively.
A: What is your sign of the Chinese zodiac
(十二生肖 )?
B: My sign is Dog.

The Chinese zodiac is quite different from
the western system. The former is based on
year while the latter is based on month.
Furthermore, the Chinese zodiac is named
after 12 animals, but 12 star signs are
representative of the western system.
A: what is your star sign (of the zodiac)?
