Chinese Zodiac And Chinese Era - What's The Relationship Between Them?
Chinese Zodiac has a big relationship with Chinese Era which is the combination of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches
. The Heavenly Stems(Chinese: Tian Gan) contain ten parts(,,,,,,,,,,) and Earthly Branches (Chinese: Di Zhi) contain twelve parts (,,,,,,,,,,). The ancient people created this intelligent method to mark and divide years, months, days and hours with Chinese Zodiac and Chinese Era. And if people could know exactly about all these information about yourself, you may forecast your own future and understand your personality character according to the Chinese astrology.
Actually, Chinese Zodiac has certain similarities with the Western Zodiac, both of them have rotating cycles divided into 12 parts, and both imply the influence of each sign on a person's personality. Maybe the difference between them is that Chinese Zodiac which is not associated with constellations mainly associates with the years and the dividing of Western Zodiac bases on the months' changing.
However, maybe it is a common misconception that there are only the singular animals assigned by year. Many western descriptions of Chinese astrology descriptions draw solely on this system. In fact, there are also animal signs assigned by month and hours of the day.
For example, the label-hour of day with 12 animals correspond are as follows. The 24 hours are divided by these zodiac in a two-hour period and you will know which period belong to you if knowing what time you were born of a day. The first symbol is the time period, and the second symbol is the Earthly Branches character specifically used in astrology to denote the animal sign.
