a tradition, particularly delightful, concerns the link between mongolian people and the great bear as one star of this constellation is attributed to each of them. it depends on their birth year in the chinese calendar. chinese and mongolian calendars have some similarities (the mongolian calendar is a lunar calendar). each year is symbolized by an animal, itself associated to a star of the constellation great bear. the first, dubhe, corresponds to the rat's year, the second, merak, corresponds to the ox and so on until the end of the great bear's tail where alkaid symbolizes the year of the horse. then we come back to the first, the goat year and we repeat the same way until the twelfth and latest year of the chinese calendar, the one of the pig. therefore, the two stars at the end of the tail are assigned one time only.
