Usage stats on East Asia zodiac

 Permalink

an Entity in Data Space: dbkwik.org

The East Asia zodiac (「生肖」?) is a twelve-part timekeeping cycle which arose from the system of the Twelve Earthly Branches (「十二支」?; jū ni shu) , originating from East Asia. Each branch is identified with an animal, as well as with a Chinese character which does not usually refer to that animal outside this type of cyclical context. For example, an ordinary discussion about rats or mice would use the kanji 鼠, but a reference to the "Year of the Rat" or "Time of the Rat" would instead use the kanji 子.
