The Origin of Ancient Chinese Twelve Hours
The origin of the Twelve Hours dates back a long time. The use of the Twelve Hours had already begun during the Western Zhou Dynasty. In "Zhouli·Chun Guan·Feng Xiang Shi", it is recorded: "In charge of twelve years, twelve months, twelve stars, ten days, and the positions of twenty-eight constellations, distinguishing their order to coordinate with the celestial position." The division of time follows a system of twelves. One cycle consists of twelve years, one year has twelve months, and one day has twelve hours. The ancient people divided a day and night into twelve periods, used to record time, and each period was called an hour. One hour is equivalent to two hours now, and twelve hours make up 24 hours. This method of timekeeping is unique and has a long history, and it is one of the brilliant cultural treasures of the Chinese nation.
