12
Yes (As far as I can tell) Rangiku_Awata: just wanting to know how many animals are there in the Chinese zodiac can you give me a specific number?
Chinese Emperor Wudi had to many things in his garden to list. But I know that he had about 12 different types of trees in his park. He had many exotic animals and plants in his garden. He had about 73 different types of things in his garden.
12 - rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig.
There are many unique kinds of animals found in China, although sadly, many of them are endangered. Some of the rare animals include the giant panda bear, the golden monkey, the Chinese alligator, the Chinese river dolphin, and the white-lipped deer.
You can make many foods out of animals. You can make bacon, cheese, chicken etc.
Chinese people make many things they are very industrious. Like people everywhere they make goods to earn money.
Wolves, big cats, black bears, brown bears, crocodiles, and pythons are animals that many chinese people are scared of.
In ancient times, animals were associated with human characteristics in many cultures; for example, the various animals in Aesop's Fables, helped to teach the poor and uneducated about virtues and vices of human behaviour. Thus the Chinese used animals symbolically in their astrological system.One to represent each month.
There are twelve animals in the Chinese Zodiac. The origins of the Chinese Zodiac are not known, but there are many legends. The legend that I know of is that there was a race held by the Jade Emperor and the first twelve animals to finish would win. As the race went on various things happened and the animals that won were as follows: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. There are many other legends and nobody knows for sure why these were the twelve animals. It gets a bit more complex, the animals in the cycle are tempered by the five Chinese elements of Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth. This means you have (for example) fire pigs, water rats etc.
Animals that are found on the Chinese zodiac calender include: rats, tigers, rabbits, dragons and many others. Each animal represents a certain trait of characteristics for people born between different months and dates.
The Chinese zodiac system is important as it relates to the cultural history of the Chinese people and their strong belief in fortune and luck. Therefore, the animals of the zodiac, and one's identification with each animal, traditionally governed many important choices in Chinese life such as choice of a spouse.
There are twelve animals on the Chinese zodiac calendar: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Each animal represents a different year in a 12-year cycle.
