Welcome to the main gallery of Brian Hoang Art where I share stories of Vietnamese history, folklore and culture. Click on an image to read a short description of each piece.
Vietnamese Zodiac
Like many Asian countries, Vietnam celebrates the Lunar New Year. It is specifically called Tết Nguyên Đán (or just Tết) in Vietnam.
Since the Vietnamese Zodiac is derived from the Chinese Zodiac, they share almost all the same signs with the exception of 2. Instead of the Ox and the Rabbit in China, Vietnam uses the Water Buffalo and the Cat respectively.
The 12 animals of the Vietnamese Zodiac are:
Rat
Buffalo
Tiger
Cat
Dragon
Horse
Snake
Goat
Monkey
Rooster
Dog
Pig
