According to Chinese Astrology, 1901 is the Year of the Ox and it is the Metal element. Based on the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, those born in 1901 are Oxs. The Chinese Ox year repeats every 12 years. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, those born between 19 February 1901 and 7 February 1902 are considered born in the Chinese year 1901 and are a Ox sign. In addition, each Ox year is also represented by 5 elements in Chinese astrology that express character and behavior. Therefore, each year it is referred to with a different zodiac animal name and a different element name, and this repeats only once in 60 years. 1901 is also known as the Year of the Metal Ox. Each zodiac sign is also associated with a negative/positive expression according to the Yin Yang philosophy. The year 1901 is Yin (-) according to the Chinese calendar.
