Time origin:

The ancient working people's initial description of time mainly referred to obvious astronomical phenomena, animal biological clocks and the laws of daily life, such as crow, pingdan, chaoshi, Japan and China, and people's daily life.

Later, it was gradually described by the readings of timing equipment, and later, the readings of these timing equipment gradually matched the five elements.

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

These parallel meetings have no practical significance.
