The twelve constellations were not brought to China by the United States, but were introduced to India from Greece and then to China with Buddhism.

In western astrology, constellation 12 is synonymous with the orientation of the universe.

So the ecliptic is divided into 12 constellation, which is called 12 constellation. Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces.

More than 2000 years ago, the Greek astronomer Hipparchus (190 ~ 120 BC) divided the ecliptic into twelve segments, with spring divided into zero, and every 30 degrees from the vernal equinox (that is, the zero degree of the ecliptic) as a palace, taking the main constellations contained in each palace at that time. There are twelve constellations in all. Babies born when the earth moves to every fraction (constellation) will always have some similar characteristics when they grow up, including behavioral characteristics.
