At that time, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty wanted to select 12 animals to represent the human zodiac to express his blessing and praise to the people. After years of academic research and development, the Chinese zodiac in China has become a traditional folk culture, widely used in various occasions, such as the New Year, the zodiac fortune, the Year of the Animal and so on. The zodiac mainly represents people's happiness, wisdom, courage and kindness, symbolizes people's vitality and motivation, and has become an important part of the cultural heritage of the Chinese nation.
