The ancient timing method divided a day and a night into twelve hours, from 1 1 o'clock in the morning to 1 o'clock in the afternoon. The twelve-hour system was used in the Western Zhou Dynasty. In the Han dynasty, it was named midnight, crow, pingdan, sunrise, food time, corner, day, sundial, sunset, dusk and people's decision. It is also represented by the twelve earthly branches, with the midnight from 23: 00 to 1: 00 as the sub-hour, 1: 00 to 3: 00 as the sub-hour, and 3: 00 to 5: 00 as the Yin Shi time, which are circulated in turn.
What are the timing methods of ancient people?
Chronology of earthly branches: the ancients divided a day and night into twelve hours, which were represented by the names of the twelve earthly branches plus the word "time". That is, Zishi, Ugly Shi, Yin Shi, Shi Mao, Chen Shi, Shi Si, Noon, Weishi, Shenshi, Youshi, Qishi and Shihai. Every hour is equivalent to two hours today. It is equivalent to 23 o'clock to 1 point now.
Twelve-period timing method: divide a day and night into twelve periods, and each period is equal to two hours now. The names of each time period are: midnight, crow, pingdan, sunrise, food time, corner, day, day, evening, sunset and people's decision.
Timing method: this timing method appeared late and was specially used for timing at night. The ancients divided a night into five hours, one hour is a watch, and the other is equivalent to two hours now. One is from 7 pm to 9 pm, and the other is from 9 pm to 1 1.
When is noon 12 15?
"3 noon" is about 12: 45. According to the ancient saying, two hours is one hour, and the noon is between 1 1 and 13, and the closest time is 12: 45.
Although ancient people didn't have clocks, they also invented their own unique timekeeping method, that is, heavenly stems and earthly branches timekeeping. At that time, there were only twelve hours in a day, and after that, it was another day, while in ancient times, fifteen minutes was a quarter of an hour.
It is this calculation that misleads many people. They think that 3: 00 noon is 1 1: 45, which is correct, but they ignore the problem that "noon" is not "early noon". 1 1: 45 means 3 noon, and after 12, it is called "noon".
In ancient feudal superstition, beheading prisoners at this time can keep them alive forever, because at this time, the yang is the strongest and the yin is the weakest, and all the yin will be dispelled by the yang, which means that this person can't be a ghost or a god after death, which is the consequence of being a villain.
