Chinese zodiac (Chinese basics S1 EP10) | lunar calendar | traits symbolized by animals | yinyang

The Chinese zodiac, known as "Shēngxiào", is a classification scheme based on the lunar calendar that assigns an animal symbol to each year in a repeating 12-year cycle. Each animal sign represents certain personality traits and characteristics, and it's believed that the year of one's birth sign influences their life and destiny. In this episode, you will learn not only how to pronounce the animals, but also see 6 yinyang pairs with deep meanings behind. There are interesting phrases about animals too! At the end you will see me writing the Chinese characters, stroke by stroke.
