Q: Why is the lion not in the Chinese zodiac(生肖)?
A: Because there were no l 1 in ancient(古代的) China.
China is not home to lions. Chinese people didn't t 2 about them until the late Eastern Han dynasty (25—220,东汉). During the Tang dynasty (618—907),many Central Asian(中亚的) countries gave lions to China as g 3 . The animal started to become p 4 after that.
But the Chinese zodiac was made during the late Warring States Period(475—221 BC,战国时代). This was about 1,000 y 5 earlier than the Tang dynasty! That's w 6 the Chinese zodiac doesn't have a lion.
