中国古代劳动人民把一天划分为十二个时辰,每个时辰相等于现今的两小时。相传是古代中国人民根据中国十二生肖中的动物的出没时间来命名各个时辰。那么戌时男和丑时女在一起会相克不?算是好婚配不?

Would a man born in the Xu hour and a woman born in the Chou hour be incompatible? Is it considered a good match?

Hours with the Earth element: Chou hour, Chen hour, Wei hour, Xu hour.
According to the Five Elements of the twelve hours, people born in the Xu hour and the Chou hour both belong to the Earth element. In the relationships of the Five Elements, they neither generate nor clash.However, whether two people are suitable for marriage also depends on their specific birth charts. It is too one-sided to make a conclusion based only on the Five Elements.

Xu Hour

It refers to the time when the sun has set, and the sky is about to darken but not yet dark, i.e., 19–21 o’clock. It is represented by the term "Xu" in the Chinese zodiac.
Why do people use the term "twilight" to represent this hour? According to the "Shuo Wen Jie Zi", it says, "Huang, the color of the earth." And it also says, "Hun, the darkness of the sun." When the sunset disappears and everything becomes hazy, the world turns yellow and dim, and the term "twilight" vividly reflects the typical natural characteristics of this period.
The earliest use of the term "twilight" was by the great poet Qu Yuan. In his poem "Li Sao," he wrote, "You once promised me solemnly that we would meet at twilight, but then you changed your path halfway."
The word "twilight" appears frequently in ancient Chinese literary works, especially in poetry. For example, "The moon rises above the willow branches, and the meeting takes place after twilight." (by Ouyang Xiu, "Shengcha Zi") In this line, the poet uses "twilight" as a beautiful moment for young men and women to meet, which is very accurate. The well-known line "The setting sun is infinitely beautiful, but it is near twilight" expresses Li Shangyin's lamentation over his aging years.
