According to Chinese Astrology, 1928 is the Year of the Dragon and it is the Earth element. Based on the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, those born in 1928 are Dragons. The Chinese Dragon year repeats every 12 years. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, those born between 23 January 1928 and 9 February 1929 are considered born in the Chinese year 1928 and are a Dragon sign. In addition, each Dragon 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. 1928 is also known as the Year of the Earth Dragon. Each zodiac sign is also associated with a negative/positive expression according to the Yin Yang philosophy. The year 1928 is Yang (+) according to the Chinese calendar.
