In 2673 BC, the enlightened Emperor Huang-ti introduced the basic cycle of the zodiac, making the world's first lunar calendar in China. Originally he served primarily the rulers and peasants to be able to determine the beginning of field work, and later with the assistance of astrologers determined the order of daily life. And so it is today.

The greatest boom of traditional Chinese astrology was most deserved by the rulers of the Shang Dynasty in the 1600 years BC They invited astrologers to their court, day and night for decades, to observe the movements of the cosmic bodies and their impact on the human body and psyche. The results were then submitted to the rulers, who according to them determined the internal and foreign policy of the country. Over time, astrologers have moved from the royal court to the people. Chinese astrology flourished in the years 618-907 AD During the Tang Dynasty, even an encyclopedia dealing exclusively with fortune telling was written. Even today, young people are looking for confirmation of the ideal wedding date, the newlyweds then the date suitable for conception of the offspring, managers of large companies according to the horoscope take pens to sign important contracts.

Chinese calendar

The Chinese calendar is divided into 60-year cycles. Every year, one of the twelve animals ruled by the legend has arrived at a peaceful feast organized by the Buddha. After twelve years, each of the five elements begins to control each sign. Very important are the two-year cycles, where governments take turns yin and yang.

The ancient Chinese have always tried to uncover the secrets of the life-giving energy of qi. They believed it to be ubiquitous, yet invisible and inaudible. The two opposing yet inseparable poles of qi are yin and yang. They are in constant motion, colliding and complementing each other. Whether in the form of male and female, positive and negative, passive and active energy. Yin and Yang simply create life, and the Chinese described their interaction with five basic elements (phases of energy).
