Happy new Year 4703!
This year is a doggy year! I was born on the horse year.
It is interesting how the years cycle has 12 animals:
Rat Ox Tiger Hare Dragon Snake Horse Sheep Monkey Rooster Dog Pig
I would like to know why there are exactly 12 animals, the same question would apply to the 12 months systems. Why dont we have 10 months of 36 days instead?

So I discovered why there are 12 months of 30sh days.
Basically, the moon turns around the earth in 29.5 days, or a month. The earth turns around the sun in 265.25 days, or a year. So somehow we split the year into months and we came up with the current calendar.
I still dont get the 12 years cycle.
