The Chinese Zodiac or Shengxiao(生肖 shēngxiào) in Pinyin(拼音 pīnyīn), is a scheme, a systematic strategy of potential action, relates each year to an animal and its reputed attributes, based on a 12-year mathematical cycle. It’s wide currency in a number of East Asian nations such as China, Vietnam, Korea and Japan.

Identifying this scheme using the term “zodiac” reflects several similarities to the Western zodiac: each has time cycles divided into 12 components, every label at least the vast majority of people components with names of animals, and each is widely connected with a culture of attributing impact of the person’s relationship to the cycle upon their character and events in their existence. Nevertheless, there are major differences: the “Chinese” 12-part cycle corresponds to many years as an alternative to months. The Chinese zodiac is represented by 12 animals, whereas a number of the signs in the Western zodiac aren’t animals, in spite of the implication of the Greek etymology of “zodiac”. The animals of the Chinese zodiac are not related with constellations, let alone those spanned by the ecliptic plane.
