What time is 6 pm?

Six o'clock in the afternoon is unitary time. Modern time 17 o'clock to 19 o'clock, chickens began to return to their nests.

For example, Bai Juyi's "Drunk Songs" said: "When the yellow chicken rings, it reminds me of ugliness, and the daytime reminds me of the New Year." Therefore, Youshi is also called the Golden Day. Twelve o'clock was originally created by the ancients according to the natural laws such as the appearance and appearance of the sun, the change of the sky and their daily production activities and living habits.

The twelve o'clock clock is unique and has a long history. It is an outstanding contribution of the Chinese nation to the astronomical calendar of mankind and one of China's splendid cultural treasures.

The origin of the image of twelve o'clock

At midnight (23:00- 1:00), people in ancient China (astronomers or Taoists) looked up at the sky for a long time when they suddenly heard a small sound around them and looked down. It turns out that mice are active.

Over time, people in ancient China found that the time for rats to haunt was midnight. So when I was a child, I became attached to the mouse and became a child mouse, ranking first by the beginning of the day.

Horses have no night grass and are not fat, and neither 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 a cow is associated with ugliness, it becomes an ugly cow.

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 silver tiger.
