The ancient Chinese people tookAll day and nightIt is divided into twelve periods, each of which is called an hour.Twelve hours can refer to either a day or any hour.At twelve o'clockancientThe working people of China sum up according to the natural law of sunrise and sunset in a day, the change of sky color, and their daily production activities and living habitssummary, original in the world.
Twelve hour system。It was used in the Western Zhou Dynasty.In the Han Dynasty, it was named midnight, Jiming, Pingdan, Sunrise, Chenshi, Yuzhong, Rizhong, Japanese products, Fushi, Rijin, Dusk, and Rending.It is also expressed by the twelve local branches, with the time from 23:00 to 1:00 at midnight as the midnight time, the time from one to three o'clock as the ugly time, and the time from three to five o'clock as the yin time.
The twelfth hour is composed of twelve specific time nouns.People can trace the origin of these words from Chinese ancient books in the pre Qin period.Before the Han Dynasty, many of these terms were different. Until the early years of the Han Dynasty, China implementedPrimordial calendar"It is based on the principle of twelve hours a day, and the discipline of the trunk and branches."（Zhao Yi《New exam》Volume 34) is basically finalized and named.The twelve hour clock is unique and has a long historyAstronomical calendarIt is also one of the splendid treasures of Chinese culture.
The twelve hour regimen in the Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine is integrated into people's daily life through timing tools, reminding people of scientific regimen at any time, so that everyone can understand how to use《Inner Canon of Huangdi》Health preservation, which makes scientific health preservation popular, is undoubtedly revolutionary in improving people's physique and improving their quality of life.
Twelve hours equals 24 hours, and each hour equals 2 hours.[1]《New Tang Dynasty Book·It is clearly pointed out in the Calendar that "the ancient calendar divides days, starting from the half of the child"Midpoint of child time, that is, today's zero hour (24:00), is the beginning of the day.
The time referred to in "midnight" refers to the time from 23:00 the previous night to 1:00 am this day (Beijing time,24-hour system, the same below).This period is named after the local branch and is called the sub time.
Kong YingdaIn Spring and Autumn, the seventh year of Duke Zhuang, I wrote the sentence "In summer and April, the stars disappear at Xinmao night": "The night is the name of the night from dusk to dusk." The section of the sky from black to light is called night."Midnight" refers to the middle period between darkness and dawn, which is a natural phenomenon, while what people usually call "midnight" generally refers to all the time when it is dark, and its time often exceeds the two hours of midnight.
It is positive at the beginning of a year;The beginning of January is the new moon.ChinaToday's lunar calendar takes January as the beginning and midnight as the starting point.Although the ancient books and records still have“dawn”Or "cock crowing", but people always use the midnight synch as the starting point to calculate the calendar.
Child time refers toInternal AlchemyIn the big and small Zhou Tian skill, the time to start a fire is also calledWinter Solstice。So useTwelve Earthly BranchesThe Zishi in is the beginning of the Six Yang Shi (Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si). Therefore, it is said in the Illustrated Wing of the Analects that "Zi is the beginning of Yang's life." The winter solstice also refers to this meaning. For example, it is said in the General Taboo · Filial Piety Sutra Aid God's Contract that "on the 15th day after the heavy snow, Dou Zhizi is the winter solstice, in the middle of November. The cathode is the beginning of Yang's life." The beginning of Yang is called the beginning of Yang's life, or the beginning of Yang's return,It is used for divination in the Book of ChangesFuguaTo represent.Because the five lines on the double hexagram are yin "-", and the initial line (the lowest line) has become yang "one". This hexagram is often used in ancient Qigong books.But this is just a comparison. As the "Four Hundred Words of the Golden Elixir" said, "when the fire is not working, the winter solstice is not in the child, and its bathing method, the prime prime is also empty".So when it's time to start a fire, you should master it according to the scene during the practice.As also said in the Resurrection of Pills, "You don't need to look for the winter solstice to practice pills. There is a yang in your body".Zishi that can ignite is divided into two types in Internal Alchemy, namelyViviparous timeAndPositive time。
Midnight, also known as midnight, midnight: the first hour of the twelve.(From 23:00 to 1am).Rats are most active at this time.
Early midnight and midnight
Origin of early midnight time and midnight time ("early midnight time (also called" sub timing ")" and "midnight time (also called" sub timing ")")
Researchchinese calendar All people know that Zishi has changed in the middle since ancient times.
Li ChunfengWhen the "Linde Calendar" was formulated in the Tang Dynasty, it was clearly pointed out in the "New Tang Book Calendar" that "the ancient calendar divides days, starting from the half of the son", and the midpoint of the son time, namely zero hour (24 o'clock), is the beginning of a day.
The first hour of twelve o'clock is called "midnight".An example of the earliest use of "midnight" as a time noun can be found in the Sixteen Years of Zuo Zhuan, Aigong: "Give it away when drunk, and send it away in the middle of the night."
Historical concept
The Great Biography of Shangshu, written in the early Han Dynasty, also pointed out: "The Zhou Dynasty takes November as the positive month, the color is still red, and the midnight as the new moon."
In the Ming Dynasty, there was the concept of "midnight".Wang Kui wrote "Collection of Lihai · Calendar" (see: "Miscellaneous Categories of the Subordinates of Siku Quanshu" or "General Introduction to the Omission of the Ancient and Modern Integrated Calendar Dictionary"): There are many theories about a hundred engravings. There is no conclusive conclusion, but the only one is that the category is excellent.I thought that every moment would get 60 points, and every hundred quarters would get 6000 points. If I scattered at 12:00, I would get 500 points. In this case, it would take eight quarters and two tenths.Will eightTruncationThe first quarter is divided into four quarters at the beginning, and the twentieth quarter is divided into ten minutes at the beginning... Zhao Yuandu once said that the twelfth quarter is divided into eight quarters at the beginning, and the ninety-six quarter is divided into the big quarter, but the remaining four quarters are divided into sixty minutes at every quarter, and the four quarters are divided into two hundred and forty minutes, and each quarter is divided into twenty minutes at a time. In this way, the eight big quarters at a time, the twenty small quarters at a time, and the cut into the first quarter,Each one gets ten cents.Others who get ten quarters each at midnight, nine quarters each at noon and prime time, or four quarters each at midnight... However, the midnight is just before midnight, so it is called Yezizheng.For example, the winter solstice is the beginning of the calendar, and it is in the middle of the atmosphere.So Yezi is just after the time of Hai, so there is only the first moment without the right moment;(Early) Zishi, however, has only the right moment without the first moment, which is obvious.(These paragraphs record how to use the "leaky carving" method to time in ancient times. "leaky carving" is a timing tool, which uses a copper pot to store water, and the leaky water looks at the scale to measure the time. For the structure of "leaky carving", see“Integration of ancient and modern books”。The first and second paragraphs only define that one hour is equal to eight quarters and two tenths.In the third paragraph, there is an error in the method of defining other hours. In the fourth paragraph, there is a method of defining the midnight. From the words in the fourth paragraph, we can see that the hour after the time of Hai (there is an initial moment, but no positive moment) is "midnight at night", that is, the hour from 23:00 to 24:00.Since there is the concept of midnight, it implies that a day begins at "midnight", that is, at 0:00.Otherwise, why divide the child time into two parts?It is based on the fact that the ancient Chinese people did not exchange days at 23:00.How old are the ancient Chinese people here?According to the records in the "summary of the general items of the four libraries", Wang Kui was believed to be from the Song Dynasty, but according toJi YunThey speculated that Wang Kui should be from the Ming Dynasty, whose thoughts were influenced byShao YongGreat impact.In short, the term "midnight" had existed before the Ming Dynasty.In what dynasty did "midnight" appear earlier?No direct evidence has been found, which needs to be verified.)

In terms of time and the difference between midnight and midnight, Wan Yuwu said: at twelve o'clock in the day and night, there are eight big moments and two small moments.The total number of large carves is 96, the total number of small carves is 24, and the total number of small carves is six, so it is a hundred.Upper half hour
The fourth big moment is the beginning, the first first day, the second second day, the second third day, and the last small moment is the fourth day.The big moment in the second half is also called four, the beginning is called the right moment, the first is the first, the second is the second, the second is the third, and the last is the small moment
First four.If midnight, the first half is before midnight, which is yesterday, and the second half is after midnight, which is today.It is also like the winter solstice, when the sun comes, it is the beginning of heaven.In the ancient calendar, there are two hours
The time is the beginning, and each of the four major moments is followed. However, it is not as easy to plan as the current calendar.The saying goes, "Nine quarters each at noon and eight quarters at noon".According to Xingping Dacheng, Yu Chu didn't know what to say overnight and asked the prison officials

Cattle, rabbits, sheep, chickens and pigs belong to yin. Their hooves and claws are double, and snakes
There is too much overcast to see feet.Tigers, dragons, monkeys and dogs belong to Yang. Their hooves and claws are odd. The first two feet of a single mouse belong to Yin, four claws, and the last two feet belong to Yang and five claws. Therefore, the midnight belongs to Yin, while the midnight belongs to Yang.Such as Kangxi Xinwei

1. Son: Like a child in swaddling clothes.The original meaning of Zi is: young, egg.In ancient times, it refers to children.From 23:00 to 1:00, it is midnight in the dead of night, which is the critical moment of today and tomorrow. It can also be said that "tomorrow" is about to be born, or is already in its infancy.Zishi is the time when what is pregnant and what is incubated.
2. Ugly: The word "twist" is like a finger grasping something and twisting.Twist is also called rotation.After midnight, one to three points are ugly.The night was deep, but the "next day" had already begun.Invisibly, it seems that a big hand is turning the celestial bodies - the night is about to be turned, and the day is about to be turned.
3. Yin: Some people say it looks like Huang Quan is about to come out, while others say it looks like holding the arrow with both hands, that is, the ancient word "Yin".Lead can be interpreted as pulling, guiding, causing and leaving.The time from three to five before dawn is the time when the night is about to leave and the dawn is being pulled.
4. Mao: Some say it's like a door opening, and some say it's like a broken object, which is the original character of Liu.From five o'clock to seven o'clock at dawn, the sun comes out and people's doors should be opened.In Mao Shi, black and white are no longer confused, but are categorically separated.
5. Chen: There is a word that looks like a shell;It is also called "".I thought it meant to convey the cloud.There is a day above the clouds, which is called "morning";If there is no day, the clouds will diffuse.Summer morning, seven to nine o'clock, fog.
6. It is said that the head protrudes and the body curls up like a fetus;It is also called the hieroglyph of snake.From 9:00 to 11:00 in the morning, the fog disappeared, and it was the warm moment when the snake climbed out of the cave.
7. Noon: It is said that it is shaped like a wooden pestle;It is also called "contradiction",ContradictionIs a contradiction.Stand a wooden pestle under the sun. The wooden pestle has no shadow, because the sun shines from above.In ancient times, Chinese people created characters according to their shapes and took meanings according to their shapes.Thus, during the middle of the day, from 11:00 to 11:00Thirteen o'clockIt is noon.
8. Not: like the overlapping of branches and leaves of trees, the taste of a thing will not come until it grows up.The original word of "taste".From 13:00 to 15:00 in the afternoon, it indicates that only when the sun shines strongly can the trees flourish and the fruits mature.Only ripe fruit can have taste.
9. Some say it is like lightning, and some say it is "God".From fifteen to seventeen, the wind and rain came with lightning and thunder.The ancient Chinese people did not know what lightning and thunder were. They thought that God did it in the sky.
10. You: Like a wine jar, the original word of "wine".From 17:00 to 19:00, in the evening, I worked all day. At this time, it was time to eat. Let's call it "drinking time" for short.
11. Xu: People and the Ge understand that people hold the Ge (weapons) to guard.From 19:00 to 21:00, the whole family should go to sleep after they have had enough food and drink.However, we should not be careless. We should also prevent the invasion of foreign enemies or wild animals, so we should hold weapons to protect them.
12. Hai: There are variants of the word "pig".There is grass root - say.From 21:00 to 23:00, the owner was awakened by the sound of the pig arching the trough - if you want to fatten the pig, you have to get up at midnight to feed it.In addition, grass roots are related to the tubers of plants, which are the feed for pigs.

The best time to observe the sky should be in the dead of night, when there are many stars in the sky.At midnight (from 23:00 to 1:00), when the ancient Chinese people (astronomers or Taoists) looked up at the sky for a long time, they suddenly heard a small sound around them. They looked down and saw that it was rats.As time goes by, the ancient Chinese people found that the time when mice haunted frequently was midnight.Therefore, Zishi was connected with the mouse and became "Filial rat"And ranked first in the zodiac at the beginning of the day.
"Horses grow fat all night long," and so do cattle.Farmers farm with cattle, and feeding cattle well is a major event for farmers.At Ugly hour (from one o'clock to three o'clock), farmers will get up to feed cattle.When cattle are linked with ugly times, they become ugly cattle.
From 3:00 to 5:00 in the morning, the tigers that lie dormant in the daytime and walk at night are the most ferocious. Farmers often hear the roaring of tigers from a distance at this time.As a result, the tiger is linked with Yinshi and has "Yinhu".
From five to seven, it was dawn, and the rabbit ran out of the nest to eat the grass with dew.Therefore, the rabbit is connected with the Maoshi, and there is the "Maotu".
From seven to nine o'clock, it is easy to fog.It is said that the dragon can fly through the clouds, and only in the fog can the dragon see its head but not its tail.However, dragons are legendary animals, or "artificial animals" made up of "parts" of several animals, which cannot be seen in reality.
