Zodiac culture has a long history, leaving a lot of poems, paintings, characters and handicrafts in the long history and culture, which has a very profound impact on people.
According to ancient records, there was a relatively complete zodiac system in the pre-Qin period. At that time, most of these zodiac signs came from animal worship.
Now it is found that exactly the same records as the current zodiac system appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty and Lun Heng compiled by Wang Chong.
The zodiac signs are: Rat, Ugly Cow, Silver Tiger, Hairy Rabbit, Chen Long, Four Shoots, Five Horses, Weiyang, Monkey, You Chicken, Dog and Hai Pig.
The origins of these 12 zodiac animals are very rich, most of which have a strong mythical flavor, but they come from life but are higher than life.
In fact, many people ask why there are only 12 zodiac signs, which is related to the time-sharing recording system in China.
In our country, decimal system has been used to calculate time for a long time. In other words, a cycle is twelve years, a year has twelve months, and a day has twelve hours.
