How are the top, bottom, left and right of the zodiac arranged?

The arrangement of the zodiac depends on their position and direction in the traditional culture of China. Generally speaking, the order of the zodiac is as follows: from top to bottom: mouse, cow, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog and pig. From left to right: cattle, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs, pigs and rats. This arrangement originated from the observation and study of the starry sky by ancient astronomers in China. People think that the animals of the zodiac are related to the stars and have certain astrological significance. At the same time, this arrangement is also convenient for people to remember and understand the zodiac.
