Zodiac Hours 生肖时辰表

“What time is it?”
“It's Tiger time!”
In ancient China time was interpreted in terms of twelve sectors namely,子丑寅卯辰巳午未申酉戌亥. (This was explained in the previous post, http://yukihimeblog.blogspot.com/2009/06/interpretations-of-ancient-chinese.html) The twelve sectors are also associated with the Chinese zodiac animals. It was believed a person born during the hours will bear the qualities of the associated animal. Say baby Nelson was born on 05:35am so baby Nelson is believed to be a tame and cheerful boy.
