What animal sign is Sanjiu Liancheng?

Sanjiu Liancheng refers to the zodiac tiger and the zodiac monkey. Sanjiu corresponds to the third born Xiao Hu and the ninth zodiac monkey respectively. The Chinese zodiac tiger belongs to the yin in the twelve earthly branches, so the cloudy time at twelve o'clock in the morning is from three to five o'clock in the morning, also known as tiger time. There are twelve monkeys in the zodiac, so the "application time" at 12 o'clock in the day is from 3 pm to 5 pm, also known as "monkey time".

The Zodiac, also known as the Zodiac, is twelve kinds of animals in China that match the twelve earthly branches according to the year of birth, including rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs.

The origin of the zodiac is related to animal worship. According to the Qin bamboo slips unearthed in Yunmeng Shuihudi, Hubei Province and Fangmatan, Tianshui, Gansu Province, there was a relatively complete zodiac system in the pre-Qin period. The earliest handed down document that recorded the same Chinese zodiac as the modern one was Lun Heng written by Wang Chong in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The zodiac is an intuitive representation of the twelve earthly branches, namely, Zi (mouse), Ugly (ox), Yin (tiger), Mao (rabbit), Chen (dragon), Si (snake), Wu (horse), Wei (sheep), Shen (monkey), You (chicken) and Xu (chicken).

With the development of history, it has gradually integrated into the concept of folk belief, which is manifested in marriage, life, annual luck and so on. Each zodiac has rich legends, forming a conceptual interpretation system and becoming an image philosophy in folk culture, such as the zodiac in marriage, the blessing in temple fairs, the year of birth and so on. In modern times, more people regard the zodiac as the mascot of the Spring Festival and become a symbol of entertainment and cultural activities.
