Is there a difference in time between ancient and modern times?

Yes. In modern times, it is timed at 24 o'clock, and in ancient times, it was timed by 12 earthly branches, divided into 12 o'clock, 23 o'clock the day before to 1 o'clock the next day, 1 o'clock to 3 o'clock for the ugly hour, 2 hours for 1 hour, and so on. Thus, a modern new day begins at 0:00 or 24:00, while an ancient new day begins at 23:00 in modern times.

In addition, the month is counted from 1 to 12 in modern times, and the twelve earthly branches are also counted in ancient times, with November as the sub-month, December as the ugly month, January as the Yin month, and so on. As for the year, in modern times, you should know the year of the Common Era, the ancient one-earth branch, the rat, the ugly cow, etc. In addition, there are A, B, C, D, pente, hexagen, xin, non and decay ten days of dry, the year stem is relatively simple, where the year ends in 4 is the first year, the end of 5 is the second year, the end of 6 is the C year, and so on, ten years of a round, and twelve of the land to dominate that is, a round of 60 years (10, 12, the least common multiple of 60).

In addition, there are also moon dry, daily dry, and time dry, which are more complicated and do not need to be mastered. There are a total of 8 characters in the year, month, day, and time, which is the so-called "eight characters".

The ancient units of timekeeping were: hours, hours, points, and ticks.

The hour, also known as the hour, is represented by 12 earthly branches, and each hour is equal to the present two hours. Ancient times are contrasted with modern times.

The ancients also divided the day and night into 100 quarters, and the moment is now 14 minutes, 24 seconds and 20 seconds
