That's odd...in America, FU has an entirely different meaning.

I was born inHorse Year. We can count your age if you told us what year you were born. In lunar calendar different time has different meaning. The China fortunetellers forecast your fate according to your born time.

I don't know how the animal year come from. I will search and post here if I get.

The fifth Chinese Lunar New Year special stamp in the third series for the Year of the Monkey was issued on Sunday in Hong Kong. Different species of monkeys are featured in this set of colorful stamps to highlight the lively spirit of these fascinating creatures. The set also incorporates traditional Chinese paper cutting techniques as a toast to the festive spirit of the Lunar New Year.

Chinese men wearing t-shirts with the words "Protest Visit Shrine" and holding a Chinese flag protest quietly in front of the Japanese embassy in Beijing, China, Friday, Jan 2, 2004. Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi started the new year by visiting a shrine honoring Japan's war dead Thursday _ a decision that brought a swift rebuke from China and South Korea and could provoke an outcry over Tokyo's largest planned deployment of troops abroad since World War II.

Chinese travellers line up to buy tickets at a railway station in Beijing January 5, 2003. China's busiest travel period of the year has begun with transportation officials expecting hundreds of millions of people to visit relatives or go sightseeing in the coming days to celebrate Chinese New Year which begins on January 22 this year.

I did not go home to have the Festival with my families because it is too bad to take train in festival.
