Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our Chinese learning tools and how they work.
Is the Zodiac calculation accurate for early year birthdays?
Yes. Our tool strictly follows the Traditional Lunar Calendar. If you were born in January or February before the Lunar New Year, you belong to the previous year's animal sign. We handle this edge case automatically.
What are the Five Elements (Wu Xing) in Chinese zodiac?
Beyond the animal sign, Chinese astrology also includes one of the Five Elements (Metal 金, Wood 木, Water 水, Fire 火, Earth 土), assigned based on your birth year's heavenly stems and earthly branches. Each element shapes personality tendencies and is part of traditional Chinese cultural philosophy.
Are the generated names culturally authentic?
Yes. Unlike random generators, we curate character combinations based on traditional naming conventions, gender nuances, and positive meanings (e.g., wisdom, strength, beauty).
Can I print the worksheets for my classroom?
Absolutely. Our Worksheet Generator creates high-resolution PDFs optimized for A4 and Letter paper, featuring standard Tian Zi Ge (田字格) grids used in Chinese schools.
Are these tools free to use?
Yes, HanziStroke provides these tools for free to support the global Chinese learning community.
