Zodiac and Time

There are 12 periods (called Shi-Chen ) during 24 hours in the Traditional Chinese Zodiac, each consisting of 2 hours. Each animal symbol is related to one Shi-Chen period in order. It is also said that this order of the zodiac originated in the Han Dynasty (206 - 220) according to the 12 time periods of a day.

What are the twelve periods and what are the connections between twelve Shi Chen and their zodiac sign?

Zi (23:00 to 1:00) and Rat, the time rats actively seek food;
Chou (1:00 to 3:00) and Ox, a time that oxen regurgitate;
Yin (3:00 to 5:00) and Tiger : tigers hunt prey and display their fiercest nature;

Mao (5:00 to 7:00) and Rabbit, based on tales, the jade rabbit on the moon was busy pounding medicinal herb with a pestle;

In numerology, how are unsuitable Animals and the Suitable Animals identified?

Shi Chen

An animal is rejected by the one on the right opposite side in the Zodiac Circle. Rat and Horse, Ox and Goat, Tiger and Monkey, Rabbit and Rooster, Dragon and Dog, Snake and Pig all rejected each other.

If one selects the 3 animals which are evenly spaced from one another in the Zodiac Circle, such as, the Rat and Dragon and Monkey , Tiger and Horse and Dog, these are together.

In what way are the twelve zodiacal animals linked to Chinese life?

There has been a special relationship between humans and the 12 zodiacal animals for a long time. Humans admired them, took them as totems, and in the artistic field the animal signs were among the features of those themes. In artisans' paper-cut works, New-Year pictures, pottery and bronze wares, this can be reflected, especially on the bronze mirrors before the invention of glass ones, on which elaborate forms showed innovation and passion as well as wishes for a good life.
