Chinese Lunar Calendar

The Lunar Series is based on the ancient 12-year Chinese Lunar Calendar, which dates back beyond 2,600BC. The Lunar Calendar is steeped in tradition and symbolism, and features a different animal with each year. Based on the appearance of the new moon, the Lunar Calendar associates a difference animal with each year in the 12-year cycle.

Although China uses the Gregorian calendar for civil purposes, the lunar calendar is used for determining festivals. The Chinese believe each animal has a profound influence on the personality of those born under its rule.
