In ancient China, the Yellow Emperor ruled over a vast land. The Yellow Emperor was a wise and just monarch who led his people with wisdom and courage. However, he faced the challenge of determining a standard way of measuring time in order to better manage his territory.
One day, the Yellow Emperor summoned his advisors to find a solution to the problem of time. However, none of the plans they proposed met the Yellow Emperor's requirements. Just when everyone is helpless, a young man named "Dragon" volunteers to come up with a solution.
The dragon proposes to use the zodiac signs to measure time, with each zodiac sign representing a specific period of time. The Yellow Emperor was intrigued by this proposal, so he ordered the dragon to implement it immediately.
The dragon returns to his abode and begins to plan how to create the zodiac. He first chose twelve animals with special abilities: rats, oxen, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs, and pigs. He then arranged them in a certain order to represent the twelve hours of the day.
Under the guidance of the dragon, the animals began to work. According to their own strengths and characteristics, they have created a complete time measurement system. The rat represents the son, the ox represents the ugly time, the tiger represents the Yin time, the rabbit represents the Mao time, the dragon represents the Chen time, the snake represents the Si time, the horse represents the noon time, the sheep represents the Wei time, the monkey represents the Shen time, the chicken represents the unitary time, the dog represents the 戌 time, and the pig represents the Hai time.
When the emperor saw this new system of measuring time, he was very satisfied. From now on, people can determine the time according to the zodiac signs, arrange their daily life and work. This system not only made people's lives easier, but also allowed the Yellow Emperor to better manage his territory.
Over time, the Chinese zodiac not only became a tool for measuring time, but also an important part of traditional Chinese culture. Each zodiac sign has its own characteristics and symbolism, representing different personalities and destinies. People interpret their own personality traits and destiny according to their own zodiac signs, and also better understand the character and behavior of others by understanding their zodiac signs.
And the young man who proposed the solution, Long, thus became the Yellow Emperor's right-hand man and closest friend. He continued to advise the Yellow Emperor and help him solve various problems. The Yellow Emperor was deeply impressed by the dragon's talent and loyalty, and he appointed the dragon as an important ** in the imperial court, responsible for managing the affairs of the state.
As time passed, the Yellow Emperor's rule became more and more solid, and the country prospered. And behind all this, it is inseparable from that creative and intelligent young dragon. He used the zodiac to solve the problem of time measurement, and also became an immortal legend in Chinese history.
