About This Quiz
Beyond the familiar cycle of 12 animal signs, the Chinese Zodiac is intricately linked to an ancient and profound system: the Earthly Branches. The Earthly Branches, or the Twelve Branches, are symbols used in ancient China to calculate days or indicate sequence, and they belong to the same category of symbolic systems as the Heavenly Stems. The Earthly Branches consist of 12 characters: Zi (子), Chou (丑), Yin (寅), Mao (卯), Chen (辰), Si (巳), Wu (午), Wei (未), Shen (申), You (酉), Xu (戌) and Hai (亥). This connection forms the bedrock of Chinese zodiac astrology, influencing destiny, personality, and even daily life.
In this quiz, you will embark on a journey to explore the core relationship between the Earthly Branches and their corresponding Chinese zodiac animals. Your mission is: given a Chinese zodiac animal, you must select the correct Earthly Branch that it represents. Whether you're a curious newcomer to the world of Chinese zodiac signs or looking to solidify your existing knowledge, this quiz promises to be an illuminating and engaging challenge.
Get ready to align the cosmic with the creaturely! Good luck!
