- 1:22The Chinese Zodiac Culture | Zixuan Yan | TEDxWuxi Yinghe Bilingual SchoolThe Chinese zodiac, an integral part of Chinese culture. The zodiac, consisting of twelve animals—Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig—has been part of Chinese traditions for thousands of years. Each animal represents a year in a 12-year cycle and is believed to influence personality and destiny. For instance, those born in the Year of the Rat are thought to be clever, while Dragons symbolize strength and bravery. Beyond individual traits, the zodiac is closely tied to family and celebrations, especially during the Chinese New Year, when families reunite to welcome the new zodiac animal with fireworks, food, and red envelopes. This tradition highlights the Chinese values of family, tradition, and connection to nature. A Grade7 student from Yinghe Bilingual School.
