22" long, 8" diameter ornament, 5" diameter zodiac brass plate. #12076 More good luck Chinese hangers and good fortune Oriental hangers from GreatOrientalGifts.com and the Far East! Chinese Zodiac Good Fortune Hanger! The ancient Chinese people developed a sophisticated science of astrology that continues to have profound influence in China today. Rooted in the fundamentals of Taoism, it evolved into a system vastly different from Western astrology. Rather than determining personality by the time of year in which you were born, in Taoist astrology it is the year itself that determines your character. The years form a twelve-year cycle of signs, each named after an animal. Each Lunar Year is depicted by a characteristic animal trait. Your birth year determines your dominant animal sign. The twelve branches of the zodiac are: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. This wonderful large hanger measures 8" diameter and almost 22" tip to tassel. Hang to bring good fortune and blessings year round! |
