DID YOU KNOW?

Each Chinese calendar year has an animal associated with it, in a cycle of 12. (The image at the upper left corner of this page - courtesy internchina.com - shows the animals of the Chinese zodiac.) Chinese legend has it that the Jade Emperor wanted to help his people keep track of time. So, he invited all the animals to participate in a race, promising to name a year after each of the first 12 animals who won the race.  Here’s a link to a video of the Chinese Zodiac Story, with some lovely Chinese painting illustrations.

Students at the nonprofit SACCI’s weekend Chinese school in San Antonio learn about Chinese culture and history through use of authentic materials and resources  written in traditional Chinese.
