The development of history

The ancient working people divided a day and night into twelve periods, and each period was called an hour. Twelve o'clock can refer to either a day or any time. Twelve o'clock was created by the ancient working people in China according to the natural laws of the sun, the changes of the sky and the daily production activities and living habits. Twelve o'clock system was adopted in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

In the Han Dynasty, they were named Midnight, Crow, Pingdan, Sunrise, Eclipse, Horn, Japan-China, Sundial, Sunset and Rending, which were expressed by twelve earthly branches. Midnight was from 23: 00 to 1 hour, ugly time was from 1 hour to 3: 00 hour, and Yin Shi was from 3: 00 to 5: 00 hour. Twelve o'clock consists of twelve specific time nouns, and people can trace the origin of these words from the ancient books of China in the pre-Qin period. Before the Han dynasty, these appellations were different, and it was not until the early Han dynasty that they were basically named.
