Time origin

At first, the ancient working people mainly described time with reference to obvious astronomical phenomena, animal biological clocks and daily practices, such as crow, pingdan, chaoshi, Japan and China and people's daily practices. Later, they gradually used the readings of timing equipment to describe time, and later they gradually used the five elements to distribute the readings of these timing equipment.

For example, match the words A and B with wood (4:48-9:36), C and D with fire (9:36- 14:24), and Wuji with soil (14: 24-19:).
