What is the zodiac to cover the sun?

Covering the sun refers to the zodiac dragon.

"Covering the sky" means that there are dark clouds and it will rain heavily soon. The zodiac is a dragon. Because the dragon is a miraculous animal in the ancient legends of China, and it is the master of wind and rain, so covering the sun refers to the zodiac dragon.

Among 12 zodiac animals, the people who belong to the dragon are good-natured, considerate and generous. They are self-conscious, never give up, overconfident, ambitious, like to plan and act alone, have leadership ability and good fortune.

Dragon ranks fifth in the zodiac and belongs to Chen in the zodiac. At twelve o'clock one day, it is also called "Chen Shi", and from seven to nine o'clock in the morning, it is also called "Dragon and Lion". When the year is divided by 12 and the remainder is 8, it is all the Year of the Loong.

The Year of the Loong is counted from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the zodiac year is attached to the chronology of the trunk and branch, and the chronology of the trunk and branch is the chronology method of the trunk and branch calendar. The same is true of the official almanac of past dynasties (that is, the Yellow Calendar).

There is no doubt that the lunar calendar only uses branches to mark the year, which ranges from the first day of the first month to New Year's Eve. Lunar calendar and trunk calendar are two different calendars, which are different in the starting point of a year, the division rules of months and the number of days in each year. Due to the use of the Gregorian calendar after the Republic of China, many people lack the knowledge of the calendar, so the two are often confused.

Although the dragon is the only fictional animal in the China Zodiac, China people respect and fear it and have a special feeling. The status of the dragon is unmatched by any animal. In the eyes of China people, it is a sacred thing to be able to call the shots and fly the clouds. The emperor claimed to be the real dragon emperor, and the people themselves were descendants of the dragon.

People give full play to their infinite imagination, make Long Bian magical and great, and combine the images of various animals into dragons. They have the wildness of animals, understanding of people and spirituality of gods, and created many legends of dragons, which are more fascinating after folk processing and polishing by literati. People's psychology that John Lone loves dragons has been sublimated into a kind of worship. Perhaps this is also the cultural factor that makes the dragon a zodiac.
