The 12 animal signs       Go  
 

In ancient china, people used the combined system of 10 Stems and 12 Branches to count the years. The 12 branches were used to count the moon and the hours of a day, in believing they were of a cycle of 12. Later on the 12 animals were introduced to symbolize the years, and forming the Chinese Zodiac.
 
  In the 12 animal Zodiac signs, each animal represents a year in which a person is born.

 
    Do you know which are the 12 animals?  
    Can you match them with their written characters? and
