The Chinese zodiac is a traditional classification scheme based on the Chinese calendar that assigns an animal and its reputed attributes to each year in a repeating twelve-year cycle.
In Chinese astrology the animal signs assigned by year represent how others perceive one or how one presents oneself.
In East Asian countries, objects with those designs are often given as gifts as good luck charms.
