When did the Chinese Zodiac in China come into use and who made it?

The origin of the zodiac is very early. Now it is impossible to determine which year it started.

In the Buddhist tripitaka, there are books and documents about the zodiac. The Hui Hui calendar in the ancient calendar also has an explanation of the zodiac.

In the history of Ming Dynasty in ancient China, the zodiac fortune-telling method was popular: "Bird-hunting fortune-telling". At that time, this skill was purely based on the zodiac to tell fortune. There are still circulating versions.
