It is midnight from eleven o'clock in the evening to one o'clock in the morning, which is the most active time for mice.

From 0: 00 to 3: 00 in the morning/kloc-,it's ugly, and the cow is ruminating.

It is Yin Shi from 3: 00 to 5: 00. At this time, tigers are foraging everywhere, which is the fiercest.

From five o'clock to seven o'clock, it was Shi Mao. At that time, the sun had not yet risen and the moon was still hanging in the sky. At this time, Yutu was busy making medicine.

7: 00 am to 9: 00 am is the morning, which is a good time for the dragon to rain.

From 9: 00 to 1 1, the snake became active.

From eleven o'clock in the morning to one o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is shining, and at noon, it is the time to be unconstrained.

In the afternoon 1 until 3 o'clock, it is late. At this time, sheep will grow stronger if they eat grass.

From 3 pm to 5 pm, it is the Olympic Games. At this time, the monkey became active.

It's one yuan from five to seven. When night falls, chickens begin to return to their nests.
