Wear your year of the snake (蛇) sign with pride! Snakes are otherworldly, solitary, ascetic, mesmerizing, and persuasive.



Like the rat and the pig, the snake elicits strong negative feelings in Western cultures. To the Chinese, however, a snake is considered a dragon without legs, and we’ve already talked about how highly the Chinese regard dragons. But where a dragon is mythical, a snake is mystical. There is still a connection to the otherworldly—snakes are spiritual creatures. That doesn’t necessarily mean they are religious, but that there is a sort of higher power they devote their lives to—they are natural renunciates, forgoing certain pleasures in service of something beyond themselves.



Hanzimals is a modern interpretation of the Chinese zodiac: an icon/illustration of each zodiac animal combined with each animal's Chinese character, presented as a single glyph.
