    Because these are the laws that the ancients obtained by observing the changes of the sun, moon and stars。The gradual development of human civilization in ancient times made it no longer satisfied with its own cognition, but to observe the changes of nature to derive laws. Agricultural cultivation was very important to the ancients, but the climate seriously affected the cultivation conditions and harvests.

    Therefore, in order to understand climate change, people observe celestial phenomena.

    We all know that the celestial bodies that have the greatest impact on the Earth are the Sun and the Moon, but there is actually another planet that plays a major role in the chronology, Jupiter. One revolution of the earth is one year, and at the same time as the earth's revolution, the moon has twelve waxing and waning, that is, twelve cycles, so the year is divided into December. Jupiter's orbit around the sun takes 12 years, and the 12 earthly branches come from this, which is the origin of the 12 zodiac signs.

    In this case, if the time of each day is divided, it is also divided into twelve equal parts, and the ancients thought so and did so, so there were twelve hours.

    Actually, justWhat we know about the 12 coincidences is not just in China。The zodiac signs that we are very popular now come from Western countries, and it is also divided into twelve. In fact, the 12 zodiac signs are related to the 24 solar terms in our country.

    The 24 solar terms are divided into 12 calendars and 12 neutral terms, of which the time when the sun directly hits the equator, the Tropic of Capricorn, the equator, and the Tropic of Capricorn is the spring equinox, summer solstice, autumn equinox, and winter solstice. The ancients recognized the knots by observing the positions of the 28 constellations, and thus formed the 24 solar terms. And the 12 zodiac signs correspond to the 12 qi, such as:

    Rain to spring equinox Pisces, vernal equinox to valley rain for Aries.

    Therefore, the zodiac, hour, and month are all based on twelve as a round is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients in the observation of celestial phenomena, which is the conclusion that the ancients have recorded through the accumulation of days. Perhaps it also reveals the inseparable relationship between the universe and the number twelve. Through the law of the twelve, human civilization has been further developed.

    This is mainly based on the algorithm of the heavenly stem and the earthly branch, and at the same time, it is said that in ancient times, people found that in this year, the moon will be round 12 times, so the year is divided into 12 months, and the corresponding zodiac is also 12.

    This is the result of human observation of celestial phenomena. With the development of human beings, people have observed celestial phenomena in order to understand the laws of climate change. Until it is realized that the moon waxes and wanes 12 times in a year. So, there is a base system that calculates 12.

    This is handed down from ancient times to the present, and it may have something to do with the heavenly stems and terrestrial branches in ancient times, but it is not certain, in short, it was set by the ancients.

    The division of the zodiac is not bounded by January 1, nor by the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar, but by the beginning of spring in the 24 solar terms.

    The beginning of spring is the reason for dividing the day

    1.The traditional Spring Festival in China, which has been passed down for thousands of years, actually refers to the "beginning of spring", and the first day of the first lunar month refers to the "New Year's Day". Later, Yuan Shikai named January 1 of the lunar calendar "New Year's Day", and the first month of the first month must be named "Spring Festival".

    2.In fact, from the "beginning of spring" to the next "beginning of spring" is the basic law of 365 days. The number of days from the first day of the first month to the first day of the next month is not necessarily.

    3.Moreover, China's yellow calendar, numerology, divination and other folklore are based on the "beginning of spring" as the basis for the calculation of the zodiac.

    There are also many folk customs and food customs in Lichun. Spring plate is one of the food customs of the beginning of spring. After the beginning of spring, all things are born, so we must maintain health from the aspects of diet and daily life. Eat more foods rich in protein, vitamins, and sugars.

    The zodiac is divided by the lunar calendar, and the first day of the lunar calendar is divided into sub-hours, the first sub-hour of the first lunar month is the beginning of the new year, and the new year is new, so the zonal division is divided into the first sub-hour of the first lunar month and the last day of the previous year. The lunar calendar is currently timed at 23 o'clock and 1 o'clock, so the baby born after 23 o'clock on Chinese New Year's Eve should be the new year's zodiac; But now everyone is used to thinking that it is a new day at 0 o'clock, so the Spring Festival Gala still reports the arrival of the Lunar New Year at 0 o'clock.

    The year in which the zodiac is used to get the results of the Yousui, not by month.

As for the original doubt, it now seems that it may only be due to the influence of simple intermolecular forces.

Water is most intuitive because it is liquid. >>>More
