What time does it end in the afternoon?

In ancient times, there were 12 hours in a day, so do they correspond to our present time?

The ancients were very clever. At that time, they didn't have a modern timer, so they used the method of dripping water in the pot to time, so the whole day could be divided into 12 hours, that is, ugly Yin Mao Tatsumi applied for Wuhai at noon. The sub-hour corresponds to 1 1:00~65438+ 0:00 in the middle of the night, the sea time corresponds to 1:00~3:00, and the cloudy time corresponds to 3:00~5: 00 for one hour, and so on, the time distribution can be calculated.

If twelve hours corresponds to modern time, it is as follows:

Midnight is also called midnight, which corresponds to the modern time from 1 1 to 1. The ancients went to bed early at this time, unlike us modern people who still stay up late.

Clowns crow, which corresponds to the modern evening 1 till 3 o'clock.

Yin Shi, also known as Dawn, is equivalent to 3 pm to 5 pm in modern times. This time period is just before dawn. If you want to watch the sunrise, you must get up at this time.

Shi Mao, also known as Dawn, is equivalent to 5 pm to 7 pm in modern times. Dawn, as the name implies, is when the sun has just come out, that is, it is dawn.

The morning time is called food time, which is equivalent to 7: 00 to 9: 00 pm in modern times. This time period was the time when the ancients had breakfast. In fact, it is very close to their breakfast time now. This is the best time to eat. Ancient people usually eat two meals, so this is a good time to have breakfast.

Shi Si, also known as the corner, corresponds to 9 pm to 1 1 point. It is close to noon at this time.

Noon is called noon, which corresponds to the modern evening from 1 1 to 13. Three minutes at noon, which often appears in TV dramas, corresponds to this time. Because the sun is in the middle position, it is the hottest and most concentrated time of the sun. An hour has four quarters, one quarter is about 14.44 minutes, which is roughly equal to 15 minutes, and the three quarters at noon are 1 1: 43.2 minutes.

It is also called the sunset at the end of the day, which corresponds to the modern time from 13 to 15. When the sun goes down, it's time for the sun to set.

This application is called Evening Food, which corresponds to the modern time from 15 to 17. It's time to eat. I like that the ancients named the time of eating, which is very appropriate.

Unitary time is night, corresponding to modern time 17 to 19. At this time, it means that the sun has set.

It is called dusk, which corresponds to the modern time from 19 to 2 1. See here will think of a poem, "to see the sun, for all his glory, buried by the coming night". This is the best time to watch the sunset.

Shihai is called human destiny, which corresponds to the modern 2 1 o'clock to 23 o'clock. This is everyone's bedtime. People have settled down, so 9: 00 to 1 1: 00 is the best time to sleep. The ancients also controlled time perfectly. There are many interesting things in ancient times, so it is good to inherit and keep the right ones.

In ancient times, every hour had a nice name. As long as you care more, life will become better.
