みなさん、
Chinese Zodiac
Do you know what the Chinese zodiac is? In ancient China, they used Jupiter to commemorate time. Jupiter takes about 12 years to go through the Western zodiac, so they used an animal to represent each year. Plus, the ancient Chinese used to divide the day into 12 parts as well. The animals they use are the rat, the ox, the tiger, the rabbit, the dragon, the snake, the horse, the sheep, the monkey, the rooster, the dog, and the pig.
Next year will be the year of the tiger. Needless to say, the tiger is a strong and active animal. I wish you all a very active and happy new year. Thank you all very much for reading this year's newsletters. We will do our best in the coming year, so please support us.
