Presented by

Canadian Society for Asian Arts

The Chinese Zodiac and “The Great Race”

In China and most parts of Asia, the calendar is a cyclical repeating pattern, based on the movement of the Moon. This is why New Year’s Day does not fall on the same day each year.

The twelve animal signs of the Chinese zodiac are a popular folk method for recording the years. People born in a certain lunar year are said to carry the characteristics of the animal with which they are associated.

 

Come see this beautiful collection of Chinese zodiac animal figurines. Sure to delight the entire family!
