Ancient Chronological Division:The ancients divided the day into 12 hours, so each hour is equivalent to two hours now. Legend has it that the time of day of the zodiac is based on the time of the animals in the zodiac; The twelve hours are "Zi Shi, Chou Shi, Yin Shi, Mao Shi, Chen Shi, Si Shi, Noon, Wei Shi, Shen Shi, Youshi, Xushi, and Hai Shi".

The ancients used the hour to remember the time, and it was used as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, it was named in the middle of the night, the rooster crowed, the pingdan, the sunrise, the eclipse time, the middle of the day, the middle of the day, the day of the day, the time of the sun, the sunset, the dusk, and the people. The hour is also represented by the twelve earthly branches, for example, when the child is from 23 o'clock to 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, when 1 to 3 o'clock is ugly, and when 3 to 5 o'clock is Yin, it is pushed in turn.

It is generally divided as follows:

1. Morning: 6:30---8:00

2. Morning: 8:00---11:30

3. Noon: 11:30---14:00

4. Afternoon: 14:00---17:30

5. Evening: 17:30---6:30

In ancient times, the division of time was relatively simple, and under normal circumstances, it was divided by recursive chronological use of 23 o'clock to 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, ugly time to 3 o'clock, and 3 to 5 o'clock o'clock to yin. At present, the day and night are 24 hours, and in ancient times it was 12 hours.
