In Chinese culture，one of 12 different animals represents（代表）each new year.These animals form the Chinese zodiac（十二生肖），which repeats every 12 years.The zodiac tradition began many years ago and has been related to a story about Buddha（佛陀），a religious figure known in the Buddhist religion.According to legend，Buddha asked all animals to come and compete in a great race.Only 12 animals came so Buddha gave each of them their own year in the Chinese zodiac.The animals received their year in the order that they finished the race.
2023 is the Year of the Rabbit，which is the fourth year of the Chinese zodiac's 12-year cycle（循環(huán)）.In 2023，the new cycle will start on 22nd January.People born in 1927，1939，1951，1963，1975，1987，1999 or 2011 were born in the Year of the Rabbit.2023 is the year of the Water Rabbit.
Some believe that the Chinese zodiac sign you are born under will influence your personality（性格）.Legend has it that people born under the sign of the Rabbit are believed to be gentle，clever，quick—minded and skillful.People born in the Year of the Rabbit are usually soft and kind.They keep welcoming relationships with people around them.They are not getting angry easily and they try to avoid fights as much as possible.
Rabbits are often attracted（吸引）to professions（職業(yè)）that are more creative.Some of these professions include aspects of design，art and music，literature and architecture.Thanks to their careful nature，they find it easy to succeed in jobs that require careful planning.The perfect profession for the Rabbit is one that allows them to be social，creative and outgoing all at once.Rabbits are naturally suited to becoming translators，writers，artists，nurses，housekeepers，office assistants and construction engineers.
