According to Chinese Astrology, 1904 is the Year of the Dragon and it is the Wood element. Based on the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, those born in 1904 are Dragons. The Chinese Dragon year repeats every 12 years. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, those born between 16 February 1904 and 3 February 1905 are considered born in the Chinese year 1904 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. 1904 is also known as the Year of the Wood Dragon. Each zodiac sign is also associated with a negative/positive expression according to the Yin Yang philosophy. The year 1904 is Yang (+) according to the Chinese calendar.
