DOG DAYS When is Chinese New Year in 2018, why is it the year of the dog and how exactly is the date and animal decided?

2018 will be the Year of the Dog.

The Chinese zodiac moves in a 12-year cycle, and those born in 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, and 2018 are also known as Dogs.

According to the Asian astrology, your year of birth – and the animal this represents – determines a lot about your personality traits.

Although each of the 12 animals gets an outing every dozen years, there are different varieties – and 2018 will be the first year of the earth dog since 1958.

Anyone born in an earth dog year will be communicative, serious, and responsible in the workplace.

YEAR OF DOG


Which Chinese zodiac animal am I?
The Chinese animal zodiac or shengxiao, which means ‘born resembling’, are arranged in a repeating cycle of 12 years.

The animal changes at the beginning of the Chinese New Year, and traditionally these animals were used to date the years.

However, Chinese New Year is a movable celebration, dictated by the lunar cycle, which can fall anytime between January 21 and February 20.

This year, for example, it will be celebrated on Friday, 16th February.

If you’re feeling confused, SEE your zodiac sign below here.

How are the Chinese New Year animals decided?
The choice of animals is significant – the ox, horse, goat, rooster, pig, and dog are six of the main domestic animals raised by Chinese people.

While the rat, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake and monkey are all loved by the Chinese.

The animals were separated into two categories – yin and yang – depending on whether they have an odd or even number of claws, toes or hooves.

They were then arranged into an alternating yin and yang sequence.

It’s a little known fact that the zodiac animals can also be used to tell the time. Here’s how the Chinese clock works:

The Chinese clock

  • Rat: 11pm-1am
  • Ox: 1am-3am
  • Tiger: 3am-5am
  • Rabbit: 5am-7am
  • Dragon: 7am-9am
  • Snake: 9am-11am
  • Horse: 11am-1pm
  • Goat: 1pm-3pm
  • Monkey: 3pm-5pm
  • Rooster: 5pm-7pm
  • Dog: 7pm-9pm
  • Pig: 9pm-11pm

What is the Chinese Zodiac story?
Legend has it that, back in the ancient days, the Jade Emperor ordered that animals would become part of the calendar – and that the 12 who arrived first would be selected.

At the time, the cat and the rat were good friends. When they heard the news, the cat said to the rat: “We should arrive early to sign up, but I usually get up late.”

The rat promised to wake his pal up so they could go together but, because he was so excited, forgot and went alone.

On the way, the rat bumped into the tiger, ox, horse and other animals – who were all much faster than him.

He hatched a plan and convinced the ox to carry him on his back – on the condition that the rat sang throughout the journey.

The ox arrived first, but the rat sneaked in front of him and became the first lucky animal.

By the time the cat arrived, the selection was over – which is why the cat hates the rat and will always try to chase and kill him.
