According to the Chinese lunar calendar, every year corresponds to one of twelve animals (Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig). Different animal signs are believed to carry different meanings by the Chinese just as similar as the Western horoscope. One undergoes a 12-year cycle to reach his or her Zodiac Year of Birth, which is known as\u672c\u547d\u5e74 (B\u011bnm\u00ecngni\u00e1n). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take for example the upcoming Chinese Year of the Snake (which falls on Jan. 29). Those individuals who were born in\u00a0the Year of the Snake, namely the years of 1929,1941,1953,1965,1977,1989, 2001 and 2013, are entering their\u672c\u547d\u5e74 (B\u011bnm\u00ecngni\u00e1n) in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"420\" height=\"420\" src=index-1246.html alt=\"zodiac\" class=\"wp-image-4511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.digmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/zodiac.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.digmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/zodiac-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.digmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/zodiac-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, most Chinese people believe\u672c\u547d\u5e74 (B\u011bnm\u00ecngni\u00e1n) is supposed to be a year of extremely bad luck and many difficulties. The reason is that people will\u72af\u592a\u5c81(f\u00e0n t\u00e0isu\u00ec , offend Tai Sui) on their\u672c\u547d\u5e74 (B\u011bnm\u00ecngni\u00e1n) in traditional Chinese mythology. \u592a\u5c81(f\u00e0n t\u00e0isu\u00ec , Tai Sui) initially referred to a star opposite of Jupiter which revolves around the Earth every 12 years, the same 12-year cycle as the Chinese zodiac signs. Tai Sui is said to bring misfortune to people in the zodiac year matching their year of birth. So people should pay special attention to avoid misfortune in their life every 12 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How to bring yourself good luck on your\u672c\u547d\u5e74 (B\u011bnm\u00ecngni\u00e1n) has now become a hot topic among people. In order to mitigate its predicted inauspicious effects, people may resort to conventions that have been passed down through generations, one of which is to wear something red since red carries an atmosphere of prosperity and courage. People in China will wear any red-colored clothing such as underwear, socks, scarf, sweater, and shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=index-1247.html alt=\"red-2\" class=\"wp-image-4513\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t own lots of red clothing, even red-colored accessorizes is probably the easiest way to introduce a little red into your life on a daily basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"547\" height=\"166\" src=index-1248.html alt=\"red-2\" class=\"wp-image-4513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.digmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/red-2.jpg 547w, https:\/\/www.digmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/red-2-300x91.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 547px) 100vw, 547px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people wear jade or gold jewelry strung with a red thread because jade also supposedly will ward off bad luck and gold is said to have enough spiritual power to conquer evil spirits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"506\" height=\"183\" src=index-1249.html alt=\"red-3\" class=\"wp-image-4514\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.digmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/red-3.jpg 506w, https:\/\/www.digmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/red-3-300x108.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 506px) 100vw, 506px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note that the red item has to be a gift from someone else (your family, your friends) and you can&#8217;t buy it for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people even buy \u592a\u5c81\u7b26(t\u00e0isu\u00ec f\u00fa,Tai Sui amulets) in a small red paper pouch and carry it with them throughout the year. Typically, Tai Sui amulets will be burnt before the next new year arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>So, is this year your zodiac year?
