Do you understand the above picture? It is about Twelve Symbolic Animals of China. It is traditional in China, when a person is born, that one animal (shuxiang) is used to symbolize this year. Shuxiang, also called shengxiao.people used 12 animals (rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig) to correspond to the 12 Earthly Branches. 2009 is the ox year.Ox in Chinese is "牛",which pronounciation near "new" .
At last, Wishing you and your family a very happy new year. Much joy to you in the upcoming year.
