When is it better to be born, early midnight or late midnight? A qigong analysis of the timing of birth in the twelve hours system. The twelve-hour system was already in use during the Western Zhou dynasty. During the Han dynasty, it was named as "night half", "cock crow", "dawn", "sunrise", "meal time", "corner middle", "noon", "afternoon", "supper time", "sunset", "twilight", and "people's rest".

Is it better to be born in the early midnight or the late midnight?

People born in the early midnight have a difficult life
People born in the early midnight often face many difficulties and obstacles in their lives. These people are very hardworking, but they face many challenges from fate. Fortunately, these people can persist and face their lives positively. People often feel sympathetic for them, as they work hard but receive less than others, which seems unfair.
People born in the late midnight have good career development
People born in the late midnight are more fortunate in their destiny. Their career development brings them a certain social status. These people have high aspirations for their careers and spend most of their time working. They have clear goals and know that once their careers take off, they can achieve anything they want. They have detailed life plans.

Time corresponding to the midnight hour

The midnight hour is the first of the twelve hours, what time does it correspond to in modern terms? The midnight hour corresponds to 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. in modern time, which is represented in 24-hour format as: 23:00:00 to 0:59:59.
The midnight hour is also called "night half", from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. According to the "Huangdi Neijing · Lingshu · Yingweishenghui": "Night half is the peak of yin energy, and after night half, yin energy begins to decline." This means that night half is the time when yin energy is at its peak, and then yin turns into yang, and yang energy begins to arise, while yin energy gradually decreases. The midnight hour is the beginning of the transformation between yin and yang, marking the starting point and boundary of this change.
