Kim Si-hyun et al.: The Twelve Zodiac Animals, History and Culture in Vocabulary

We have a friendly ten, 12 animals, which represent the ‘ band. ’. What are the animals that represent 12 in Korean, Chinese and Japanese cultures that share Chinese? In Western languages, where there's no concept of animal life, what symbol do each animal represent? This book is a new attempt to see how the names of 12 animals, the words and expressions of the animal, the sexual language and proverbs associated with animals differ from what each culture shares. As long as the three East Asian countries share one another, the three countries often share a vocabulary for something. So, when the vocabulary of use is equal, is it equal to the meaning and symbol of it? How different is each word? The vocabulary within the Chinese culture has a subtle meaning by reflecting on the thinking and emotions of the user who has lived through history in it, and by reflecting a broader cultural component. Understanding the social and cultural context of these words is more important than simply understanding what it means. This gives us a deep understanding of the complex meaning of vocabulary, of the culture of the language. The Korean Institute of Chinese and Chinese at the University of São Paulo has published a 'Planet of Vocabulary' with the goal of revealing the cultural nature of the East Asian Three states and providing the interaction and insights of the Eastern Western vocabulary culture by comparing them with the culture of the Old Asian Tribunal.
