12 Chinese Zodiac Animal Lantern

In traditional Chinese culture, there is a culture of 12 zodiac signs. The Chinese zodiac, also known as the animal signs, are the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac that match the year of human birth with the 12 terrestrial branches, including the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig.

Tracing the origin and formation process of the zodiac, we can find that it is deeply rooted in ancient China's farming civilization and astronomical observation. According to historical records, as early as the pre-Qin period, there was a folk worship of animals, and people closely combined animals with daily life and production activities, and gradually formed myths and legends and folk beliefs related to animals. Over time, ancient astronomers began to correspond stars in the sky to animals on the ground to more intuitively describe and remember astrological changes. This correspondence gradually combined with the earth branch (Zi, Chou, Yin, MAO, etc.), forming the initial concept of the 12 zodiac animals.

Lantern culture is a tradition that has existed in China since ancient times, and there are lantern fairs with different themes in the Spring Festival or specific festivals. Zigong has inherited this tradition and developed it to many countries and regions at home and abroad. Let people around the world know Chinese traditional skills and Chinese traditional culture.
