The Korean zodiac is almost identical to the Chinese zodiac except it includes the "Sheep" instead of the "Goat". The Vietnamese zodiac is almost identical to the Chinese zodiac except the second animal is the "Water Buffalo" instead of the "Ox", and the fourth animal is the "Cat" instead of the "Rabbit". The Japanese zodiac includes the "Sheep" instead of the "Goat", and the "Wild Boar" instead of the "Pig". The Japanese have since 1873 celebrated the beginning of the new year on 1 January as per the Gregorian Calendar. The Thai zodiac includes a "nāga" in place of the "Dragon" and begins, not at Chinese New Year, but either on the first day of fifth month in Thai lunar calendar, or during the Songkran festival (now celebrated every 13–15 April), depending on the purpose of the use.
