The Chinese zodiac is an important part of traditional Chinese culture

The twelve signs of the Chinese Zodiac are an important part of traditional Chinese culture, and they are derived from eleven animals in nature and a national totem. The twelve zodiac signs represent animals with different character traits. In the Year of the Dragon or the Year of the Tiger, people often say "dragon and tiger"; the Year of the Horse, people will say "horse to success"; pig in the eyes of the Chinese is the meaning of the "treasure"; ox is a symbol of hard work, which is the symbol of the Chinese zodiac. This point in Lu Xun's poem "head down willing to be a child cow" has a perfect embodiment.
