More to China Civilization 4

Chinese Astrology

It is essential in China that every person knows which animal sign he is born under. That is because it has been implicitly agreed upon that no important steps of life should be taken without consulting first the Chinese Zodiac.

Some Chinese consider this superstition, but many truly believe that the signs reveal the hidden secrets of a person's character. By the 5th century, the Chinese had cataloged 1464 stars.


In Beijing, there were about 5,000 stargazers.
