They Buddhist Buddha prepared a New Year

Everyone has his "garden of Luzia", the place where they go the lost memories that insist on not let us. Part of a department that my garden are my memories of Asia. They are images, smells and stories icon moe that insist on staying glued to me.
We started the year 2015. A month has passed icon moe and I still have the feeling that the new year has not come altogether. Some procrastination icon moe regarding the dreams and plans that have not yet "gave the start."
The Zodiac of the two countries is very similar, icon moe although they "die of chickenpox" every time someone says that, after all Vietnamese and Chinese love each other as much as Brazil and Argentina.
The Vietnamese New Year is called the Lunar New Year (our calendar is solar). This is because the Chinese calendar (which guides bao part of asiáticoa southeastern icon moe calendars) is lunisolar, ie not only takes into account the position icon moe of the sun, but the moon also.
The Vietnamese new year always begins in mid-January or February and coincides with the first day of the new moon, which in 2015 will take place on February 19, beginning the year of the Sheep or Goat.
As I said, Western astrology follows a solar orientation. The twelve signs are indicated by the passage of the sun across the zodiac for a year. The Chinese Astrology, also adopted by the Vietnamese, is different. His lunar guidance follows a 12-year cycle, rather than 12 months. Each year is governed by an animal sign, which supposedly influences on individuals born in that period.
The signs, according to the Western version, representing each of the twelve constellations that are located in the zodiac band, which according to astronomy is a strip of heaven located between two parallel celestial latitude, where moves the sun, moon and planets. The position of this band in the person's date of birth defines which sign it belongs.
The Chinese / Vietnamese version of the signs is different. icon moe Despite the "Zodiac" Oriental also have twelve signs, the reason for its existence is justified by folk tales and legends icon moe and Vietnam through a Buddhist legend.
They Buddhist Buddha prepared a New Year's party (another version says that Buddha did this on his land farewell party) and then invited all the forest animals that were part of the "send-off". He promised icon moe a surprise to all who participated and attended only twelve. Each of these was presented with a year, according to their order of arrival. The function of these animals would be to do good, helping humanity to find its way doing cool things, positive and good.
The first that came to the party was the mouse. Its mission is to convince the natives of your sign to repent of the evil deeds and to seek the path of good. Other animals have similar functions, but each with its own characteristics and different ways of acting. The legend explains icon moe that while an animal fold and converts, others do good quietly. icon moe
Although all animals have a role in helping humanity to find its way, there is a hierarchy among these animals, and some couples come to plan the date of birth of your children who are under the particular sign of protection. In the year of the tiger and the dragon there is a real "boom" of birth in these countries. Those born under this sign are very respected and even feared. But the year of the ram (2015) is considered a bad year to have children. This is because it is considered that these are submissive beings, created just for the slaughter. Assuming that people carry itself forever the characteristics of the animals that patronize, it is assumed, therefore, that people born under this sign are just followers of leaders and never leaders themselves, being relegated to the role of shadows dull dragons, tigers and horses. icon moe It Will Be?
Fabi, which is the characteristic of the serpent, for both the Chinese and for the Vietnamese? Thank you and it gets the tet, cause the carnival is over and I'm also the feeling that the year has not given his start!
Sagittarius'm oxen, but when I read the description, do not identify much - sounds like Capricorn sign with which I have little or no identity. I found this very interesting counterpoint to the lunar year, from another perspective. thx.
