What is a Chinese name?

Chinese names are written with characters (汉字) and always follow the order: family name first, then given name. Each character carries a specific meaning — names are often chosen for qualities like strength, wisdom, or beauty. A typical Chinese given name has one or two characters, each carefully selected to create a harmonious and meaningful combination.

What is the Chinese zodiac?

The Chinese zodiac (生肖) is a 12-year cycle where each year is represented by an animal: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Your birth year determines your zodiac animal, which is said to influence your personality, strengths, and compatibility with others. The Dragon and Horse are considered especially auspicious signs.
