Time origin

The best time to watch the celestial phenomena should be when the night is quiet and the stars are all over the sky.

At midnight (from 23: 00 to 1: 00), people in ancient China (astronomers or Taoists) looked up at the sky for a long time, and suddenly they heard a small sound around them. When they looked down, they found the mouse moving.

With the passage of time, people in ancient China found that the time when rats frequented was midnight.

Therefore, when I was a child, I was associated with mice and became a child mouse, ranking first in the genus according to the beginning of the day.
