Why China Measures Time in Animals | The Chinese Zodiac

Описание: Why China Measures Time in Animals | The Chinese Zodiac

Why does the Chinese Zodiac assign an animal to each year? Every Lunar New Year, billions celebrate a system that is more than tradition - it is a 3,000-year-old philosophy of time.

From the clever Rat to the mighty Dragon, this cinematic documentary explores the history, mythology, and astronomy behind the Chinese Zodiac. Discover the Great Race legend, the ancient Sexagenary Cycle, and how Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches shaped Chinese culture.

In China, time is not just counted - it returns. The zodiac connects generations, agriculture, emperors, and families through a repeating cycle.
