According to the Chinese calendar

According to the Chinese calendar, 2023 will be the year of the Rabbit. The Chinese horoscope is an ancient predictive system based on the solar-lunar calendar. There are twelve signs in total - totem animals. There are several legends about the origin of the Eastern calendar. The most popular of them is associated with the Buddha. According to her, he called for his birthday all the animals that wished to come, and the future twelve animal symbols of the years responded. On the way, they had to cross a cold river, someone doubted, someone immediately rushed into the water, someone got over to the other side with the help of cunning. This served as the order of the animals in the cycle. The fourth was the cat. But the Chinese sages considered the Cat an assistant to the dark forces and, when compiling a horoscope, they replaced him with the Rabbit.
