2021 is \u725b\u5e74 (ni\u00fa ni\u00e1n), the year of the Ox. If you don\u2019t know what is \u725b\u5e74, here is where it comes from\u2026 (If you have already known \u5341\u4e8c\u751f\u8096, you may skip to the next section Chinese \u725b\u5e74 sayings.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12 Symbolic Animals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have twelve animals to represent each different year and repeat after each twelve year. The twelve animals are \u9f20\u725b\u864e\u5154\u9f99\u86c7\u9a6c\u7f8a\u7334\u9e21\u72d7\u732a<\/span><\/strong> (sh\u01d4 ni\u00fa h\u01d4 t\u00f9 l\u00f3ng sh\u00e9 m\u01ce y\u00e1ng h\u00f3u j\u012b g\u01d2u zh\u016b<\/span><\/strong>, which has been explained below). We call them \u5341\u4e8c\u751f\u8096. Most Chinese people know this particular order of \u5341\u4e8c\u751f\u8096. 2020 is \u9f20\u5e74 (the year of the Rat), so the coming year 2021 is \u725b\u5e74 (the year of the Ox). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you give birth to a baby in 2021, your baby is a \u725b\u5b9d\u5b9d<\/strong> (ni\u00fa b\u01ceo bao<\/strong>, Ox baby) and we say your baby \u5c5e\u725b<\/strong> (sh\u01d4 ni\u00fa, is a Ox). You can also count back to your birthday to see \u4f60\u5c5e\u4ec0\u4e48<\/strong> (n\u01d0 sh\u01d4 sh\u00e9n me<\/strong>, what your animal sign is), which animal year you were born in.
