Chinese Lunar Calendar The 12-year Chinese Lunar Calendar dates back to before 2600 BC. The Lunar Calendar is imbued with symbolism and mysticism. Each year of the Lunar Calendar represents an animal: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Ram, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Each animal is characterized by one of five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Combined, each element is associated with each animal once every 60 years. According to Chinese tradition, each animal and element has a marked influence on the personality of those born under its sign. The element associated with the 2012 Dragon is Water. According to Chinese mythology, the Dragon is yang and complements a yin fenguang (Chinese phoenix). While China officially uses the Gregorian calendar, or Western calendar, the Lunar Calendar is still used for determining festivals. Some other adjectives associated with people born under the dragon sign include confident, enterprising, independent, self-assured, brave and passionate.
