Extended data

The twelve constellations were introduced into China in the Sui Dynasty.

The name of the zodiac was in the Babylonian era. The Babylonians divided the whole zodiac into 12 segments from the vernal equinox, each segment was called a "palace", and each segment was named after its constellation, called the "zodiac". These concepts were later absorbed by the ancient Greeks. Around A.D., the concept of "Zodiac" was introduced from Greece to India, and was introduced to China with Buddhist scriptures in the 6th century.

At present, the earliest document about the Chinese translation of the names of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals is the Tibetan Sutra of the Big House Waiting for Japan, which was translated from Sanskrit by the Tianzhu mage Nalantiyeshe in the early years of Emperor Yangdi.
