I would like to ask what the Chinese Zodiac in China stands for.
Earth represents the zodiac cattle and refers to one of the zodiac cattle. Cow is the second of the twelve zodiac signs, and belongs to the ugliness with the twelve animals, so the ugliness at twelve o'clock every day-from one to three o'clock at night is also the "ox time". Yi Gua means "Kun is a cow".

The origin of the zodiac is related to animal worship. According to the Qin bamboo slips unearthed in Yunmeng Shuihudi, Hubei Province and Fangmatan, Tianshui, Gansu Province, there was a relatively complete zodiac system in the pre-Qin period. The earliest handed down document that recorded the same Chinese zodiac as the modern one was Lun Heng written by Wang Chong in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The zodiac is an intuitive representation of the twelve earthly branches, namely, Zi (mouse), Ugly (ox), Yin (tiger), Mao (rabbit), Chen (dragon), Si (snake), Wu (horse), Wei (sheep), Shen (monkey), You (chicken) and Xu (chicken). In modern times, more people regard the zodiac as the mascot of the Spring Festival and become a symbol of entertainment and cultural activities.
