Ugly: for. The word "twist" is like a finger grasping an object and twisting it. Twist and make a rotation. After childhood, it's ugly from one to three. The night is deep, but the "second day" has begun. Invisible, it seems that there is a big hand turning the celestial body-the night is about to be turned away and the day is about to be distorted.

Yes Some people say that if you are facing an enemy, others say that if you hold an arrow in both hands, that is, the ancient word "lead".

Chen: Yes. There is the word "shell shape"; Also known as "",there is a body. I thought it meant to convey clouds. One day above the clouds, it is "morning"; When there is no sun, the clouds are full of air. Summer morning, 7: 00 to 9: 00, foggy.

Rudder: Yes, it is said that the head is protruding like a fetus and the body is curled up; Also known as pictograms of snakes. From 9 am to 1 1, the fog disappears, which is the warm time for the snake to climb out of the cave.

Afternoon: for. There is the word "pestle", which looks like a wooden pestle; It is also said that reaching it is a contradiction. Stand a wooden pestle in the sun, and the wooden pestle has no shadow, because the sun shines from above. The ancients created words by form, took meaning by form, and ordered things by form and meaning. So the time between Japan and China, that is, from eleven to thirteen, is noon.

No: yes. Like overlapping branches and leaves of trees, things have no taste until they grow up. The original word of "taste" At the end of 13:00 ~ 15:00 in the afternoon, it indicates that trees will flourish and fruits will mature only after strong sunlight. Ripe fruit will be very tasty.

h:，。 It is said that like a pig, the word "tapir" is a variant. Grass roots. -Say it. From 2 1 o'clock to 23: 00, the owner was awakened by the sound of the pig's arch groove-if the pig wants to be fat, it has to get up in the middle of the night to add rice to it. In addition, grass roots are related to the tubers of plants, which are the feed for pigs.

The twelve words at twelve o'clock actually describe and depict a picture of the life schedule of ancient farmers in summer! Even the natural landscape is vivid and concise.

Judging from the unearthed cultural relics, as early as the Shang Dynasty, there was a method to calculate the age with heavenly stems and earthly branches. Branches and branches were first used to record days, and later developed into calendar months and years.

So, how do twelve o'clock and the zodiac combine?

The best time to watch the celestial phenomena should be in the dead of night and when the stars are all over the sky. At midnight (23:00 ~ 1:00), the ancients (astronomers or Taoists) looked up at the sky for a long time and suddenly heard a small noise around them. They looked down and saw that the mouse was moving. Over time, the ancients found that the time for rats to haunt was midnight. As a result, when I was a child, I was associated with mice and became a "daughter mouse", ranking first by the beginning of the day.

"Horses are not fat without night grass", and so are cows. It is a major event for farmers to plow the fields with cattle and feed them well. When it's ugly (1 until 3 o'clock), the farmer will get up and feed the cows. When cows are associated with ugliness, they become "ugly cows".

Tigers are fiercest at night from three to five in the morning, and farmers often hear tigers not far away at this time. As a result, the tiger was associated with Yin Shi, so there was a "Yin tiger".

From five o'clock to seven o'clock, at dawn, the rabbit ran out of the nest to eat dew grass. Therefore, rabbits are associated with Shi Mao, and hence the "hairy rabbits".

From 7: 00 to 9: 00, it is smog time. It is said that dragons can fly in the clouds, and only in the fog will they "see the tail but not the head". However, the dragon is a legendary animal, or an "artificial animal" pieced together by people with "parts" of several animals. Not in reality. Only in fog can people have the illusion of dragons. In this way, the dragon will appear in the morning fog. When dragons are associated with time, there is a "dragon".

From 9: 00 to 1 1, the fog cleared and the sun was shining. The snake with unstable body temperature crawled out of the hole to bask in the sun. Snakes, whether poisonous or not, are terrible, and the most active moment of snakes is "Shi Si". Draw the "four" in the shape of a snake when making words. The "fourth snake" is naturally linked.

From eleven o'clock to thirteen o'clock, the sun is shining. This "fierce" reminds people of the horse, one of the "right-hand men" of human beings. A fierce horse with a red mane is a good colt, but its temper is as fierce as the midday sun. When horses are associated with noon, there is a "noon horse".

13:00- 15:00, the sun has dried the dew on the grass, don't forget this is a good time to feed the sheep. As a result, "Weiyang" came into being.

15:00- 17:00, when the sun goes down, or after the rain, the weather looks refreshing. At this time, monkeys like to play and crow in the Woods. People heard it, kept it in mind, and linked this moment with monkeys, so there was a "monkey application".

17:00- 19:00, the sun is about to set, and the domestic chickens are going home; If you don't go back to your nest, you will find it when it gets dark. The farmer's wife was in a hurry, calling everywhere and knocking the chicken into the nest. This time of eating and drinking is also connected with the domestic chickens entering the nest, so there is a "unitary chicken".

19: 00-2100, people should patrol before going to bed; Followed by another "assistant" of human beings-dogs. It is just right to be a "dog" when you are involved with dogs during patrol.

2/kloc-0: 00 to 23: 00, the owner was very happy to hear the sound of the fat pig arch ditch in the middle of the night. However, if you want pigs to gain weight, you have to get up and feed them. During the sea, nature was associated with pigs, so there was a "sea pig".
