It is also expressed by the twelve earthly branches, and it is the child time from 23: 00 to 1 at midnight, the ugly time from 1 to 3: 00, and the Yin Shi time from 3: 00 to 5: 00, which are recursive in turn.

Twelve o'clock consists of twelve specific time nouns. People can find the source of these words from the ancient books in the pre-Qin period.

From eleven to midnight, it's ugly from one to three, Yin Shi from three to five, and so on.

Later, with the popularity of clocks and watches, the word "big hour" disappeared, but "hour" has been used to this day.
