12 Chinese zodiac and 12 hours:
According to the time when the sun rose, the ancients divided the day and night into twelve hours, and used the 12th branch as the code for easy memorization. China uses the ground support timing method, which is called the twelve hour ("big"), that is, the twenty-four "hours" we now call ".
The Chinese zodiac is composed of eleven animals from nature: rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs, and pigs, there is also a legend of the dragon. The ancients used the habits of these twelve animals to allocate different branches. For example, a mouse is an animal that is active at night. Therefore, the mouse is used with time (from midnight to midnight, they were closely related to daily life and daily life in the agricultural society at that time.

How does the Zodiac match the hour? The following is for reference only:
Midnight: The last time of a day is the beginning of a new day.
Ugly (OX) Am to AM: ugly refers to the dark stage before dawn. It is said that it was the time when the cattle started farming.
Yin (TIGER): From AM to AM: on the first day of the day, the time when the tiger started its activities.
Mao (rabbit) from AM to AM: when the sun has soared and began to shine.
Chen (Dragon) Am to AM: the time when the sun heat increases, is said to be the time when the Dragon Group traveled to the west.
When it was between nine o'clock A.M. and 11, Sun was getting hotter.
From eleven o'clock A.M. to thirteen o'clock P.M. pm, the sun was the most intense on the first day.
No (Goat) Thirteen o'clock P.M. to 15: On the first day, the summer heat will disappear.
Shen (monkey) Fifteen o'clock P.M. to: On the first day, Shen Shi's summer heat is almost over.
You (chicken) Seventeen o'clock P.M. to 19: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00.
PM-PM: on the first day of the year, the dark night spreads and the light begins to shine.
Hai (pig): from PM to midnight: on the first day of the week, it will be done on the first day.

Two stories:
(1) Why are there any mice and no cats?
Do you know what you belong? Why are there any mice and no cats? Here is a story. A long time ago, one day, people said, "We want to choose twelve animals as Chinese zodiac animals. One year is an animal ." How many animals are there in the world? How can this problem be selected? In this case, set a day for the animals to register, and select the first twelve animals as the Zodiac. Cats and mice are neighbors and good friends. They all want to sign up. The cat said, "We have to get up early, but I love sleep. What should we do ?" The mouse said, "Don't worry, don't worry. Even though you slept in your sleep, I woke up and called you. Let's go together ." The cat was very happy and said, "You are my good friend. Thank you ." On the morning of registration, the mouse woke up early, but he forgot about his good friend and cat. I registered myself. As a result, the mouse was selected. What about cats? It was too late to get up because of sleep. When it arrived, twelve animals were selected. When the cat was not selected, it was angry with the mouse. The strange mouse did not call it. Since then, when the cat saw the mouse, it was about to eat it, and the mouse had to desperately escape. This is still the case till now.
(2) how to place a mouse in the first place?
The sequence of Chinese zodiac signs is: Rat, ox, Tiger, Rabbit, dragon, Snake, horse, goat, monkey, chicken, dog, and pig. How can we place a mouse in the first place? There is also a story here. On the day of registration, the mouse got up very early and the Ox got up very early. They met on the road. The ox's head is big, and the mouse's foot is big. The mouse's foot is also small, and the mouse just keeps up with the ox. The mouse thought: the road is far away, and I can't run fast. What should I do? When his mind moved, he came up with an idea and said to the ox, "I want to sing a song to you, Brother Niu ." The cow said, "Well, you can sing it. Why don't you sing it ?" The mouse said, "I'm singing. Why didn't you hear it? Oh, my friends are too detailed. You didn't hear it. Let me ride on your neck and sing a song, and you will hear it ." Niu said: "OK, OK !" The mouse climbed up the neck of the ox along its leg and let the Ox walk with it. It shake your head and sing a song: Brother Niu, Brother Niu, crossing the river, mountain hill, drive, drive, hurry up! Once the ox heard it, he was happy. He ran away with four legs and ran to the registration place to check that no one had come. He was so happy that he shouted, "I'm the first, and I'm the first!" The ox hasn't finished talking yet. The mouse jumps from the neck of the ox to the ground, and then it goes to the front of the ox. As a result, the mouse won the first place and the ox won the second place. Therefore, in the zodiac, the mouse ranked first.
