Six Groups of "Auspicious Matches"
The zodiac came into being in the course of historical changes, imprinted with rich cultural connotations. The Six groups of zodiac in traditional Chinese culture originates from the relationship between the earthly branches. It is a kind of coincidence, that is, the person who secretly helps you.

What is the Chinese Zodiac?

The Chinese Yinyang principle consists of a 12-year cycle, each year of which is named after a different animal that imparts distinct characteristics to its year. Many Chinese believe that the year of a person's birth is the primary factor in determining that person's personality traits, physical and mental attributes, and degree of success and happiness throughout one's lifetime. The ancient Yinyang principle constructed a fantastic system of 10 heavenly stems and 12 mundane branches. The latter corresponds to 12 animals with two symbolic functions. Each animal is mystically related to one year in a 12-year cycle. Each animal also represents two hours or one-twelfth of every day. A person's future is determined by this intriguing system. These twelve animals are Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. For example, the year 2024 is the year of the Dragon.
