一种解释:地支
The 12 Chinese zodiac signs are based on the 12 Terrestrial Branches. Ancient Chinese people invented the system based on observations of the orbit of Jupiter, which has a 12-year rotation basis.
中国的十二生肖以十二地支为基础。中国古人根据对木星轨道的观测发明了这一系统,木星的公转周期为12年。
Chinese people named each of the Terrestrial Branches, and use them to mark the year, month, date, as well as different periods of the day. Therefore, Jupiter is also known as the "Year Star" in ancient China.
中国人给每一个地支命名,用它们来标记年、月、日以及一天中的不同时间。因此,木星在中国古代也被称为“年星”。
The order of the zodiacs was based on their habits and activity time during the day. For example, the rats usually come out around midnight, therefore it is arranged at the beginning of the Terrestrial Branches, referring to the period between 23:00 pm and 1:00 am.
十二生肖的顺序是根据动物们一天的习惯和活动时间来确定的。例如,老鼠通常在午夜前后出来活动,因此它被安排在地支的首个,用来指午夜23点到凌晨1点之间的时间。
Likewise, the ox is the second because the animal ruminates after 1:00 am, and the tiger comes next for it is believed to start wondering around preying between 3:00 to 5:00 in the morning. The same order was transplanted to the arrangement of the 12 zodiac signs.
