Best Answer

Rabbit

Please note the Chinese year is based on a lunar calendar so if you were born in the early part of the year, you may be a Tiger.

The answer to this question depends on the reasoning behind the question. This is because the Chinese have in fact 3 calendars, being the lunar, solar and luni-solar.

The luni-solar is what is used today in Chinese culture.

Chinese Astrology, more properly referred to as The 4 Pillars System - or BaZi - uses the Chinese Solar Calendar.

If you are asking for "astrology" purposes, then 1987 is Mao.

Although the Chinese do not count their date using an animal only. Instead they use what is called the stem and branch system, which pairs together an element in either its yin or yang form (there are 10 of them) along with one of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac.

So in this case, the year 1987 is actually Ding Mao (Fire Yin - Rabbit)

If you want more information, there's a really good video about "Chinese Astrology" - The 4 Pillars System. It's called The Meaning of Life: Understanding the 4 Pillars System.
