According to Chinese Astrology, 1900 is the Year of the Rat and it is the Metal element. Based on the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, those born in 1900 are Rats. The Chinese Rat year repeats every 12 years. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, those born between 31 January 1900 and 18 February 1901 are considered born in the Chinese year 1900 and are a Rat sign. In addition, each Rat 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. 1900 is also known as the Year of the Metal Rat. Each zodiac sign is also associated with a negative/positive expression according to the Yin Yang philosophy. The year 1900 is Yang (+) according to the Chinese calendar.
