The Chinese Zodiac in Art - Google Arts & Culture

This Lunar New Year, we move into the Year of the Rooster. But what does this mean?

The rooster is one of the 12 animals of the zodiac.. In Chinese and other East Asian traditions, each year is characterized by an animal: most commonly the Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Legend says that this is the order the animals crossed the finish line in a great race held by the Jade Emperor.

 

Rooster – 雞 / 鸡 (酉)


2017, 2005, 1993, 1981, 1969, 1957, 1945, 1933

 

2017 is the year of the rooster! But bad news for those who actually have the rooster as their zodiac sign; one's zodiac year is said to bring bad luck!

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Not an auspicious year for the Trump administration.
