night times

In ancient times, a night was divided into five watches. Starting from dusk, each watch corresponded to a different time period: the first watch was equivalent to 19:00 - 21:00 in modern time, the second watch was equivalent to 21:00 - 23:00, the third watch was equivalent to 23:00 - 1:00, the fourth watch was equivalent to 1 - 3 in the morning, and the fifth watch was equivalent to 3 - 5 in the morning.

The position of night watchmen was not respected in ancient times. The night watchman was first appointed by the government, and then gradually separated from the official system and moved to the bottom of society. By the Ming Dynasty, the identity of the night watchman had plummeted, and he was no different from a beggar on the street. During the Qing Dynasty, his status had slightly improved, and he could eat imperial food again, but he was only the lowest level constable.

I recommend Gu Pan Sheng Huan, an ancient romance novel written by He Zao. The modern male and female protagonist were killed at sea and became husband and wife in ancient times, continuing the relationship of their previous life. The male protagonist was sick, and after the bride hung herself on the night of the wedding, the female protagonist Shu Huan transmigrated. There was a plot of a house fight, which was a comedy. The book list evaluated the favorite works of the modern female protagonist who traveled through ancient times. The description of the relationship between the male and female protagonists was the highlight. Although the story was long, it was true love that could hold back and not skip the story. It was a masterpiece of the female channel god He Zao in his early years. The style of writing was light and lively. It was very outstanding in the transmigration novels of Waseda University. The lazy people could listen to the books, and the host's voice was superb. There was also " The Chronicles of a Husband and Wife's Time Travel ", which was not as good as the modern romance novel written by An Rong. The woman who had time traveled was 15 years younger before she had time traveled, but her ancient husband had also returned. It was very interesting. " The Eldest Daughter-in-law " was an ancient romance novel written by Chu Luoxi. The imperial concubine of the previous dynasty had transmigrated into a merchant's bride of the future. The master of palace strife had begun to fight at home. The background setting and details of the female protagonist's identity were not bad. " Transcension: A Blessing " was Gu Yexue's work. The female servant thought that she was the only transmigrator. After the lady she served was injured, she realized that the lady was also a transmigrator. The timid female servant watched the lady who loved excitement flourish. " Bringing a Space to Travel Through the Antiquity to Marry a Wife " was written by Baby Xuan Mo. After a college student saved someone, he traveled through the ancient world to bring a small space. He originally wanted to eat and wait for death. After marrying a reborn wife, he had to work hard to protect his family and wife.

There were the following reasons for the existence of night watchmen in ancient times. First of all, the ancient times were a farming society. People followed the rule of sunrise and rest. The ancients paid great attention to the time, such as the eight characters of birth, morning court, worship, prayer, etc. During the day, one could determine the approximate time based on the movement of the sun, but it was not easy to determine the time after the sun set. Secondly, although there were twelve and twenty-four hour timekeeping methods in ancient times, there was a lack of accurate means of telling time. At night, it was basically dependent on the night watchman to tell the time, and the error of the night watchman was said to not exceed half an hour. In addition, the night watchman had other duties besides reporting the time, such as reminding people to prevent fire.(For example, shouting "The weather is dry, be careful of the fire"), anti-theft (for example, shouting "Close the door, close the window, prevent theft and theft"), morning exercise (shouting "Go to bed early and get up early, take care of your health" at dawn), etc.; Ancient houses were mostly made of wood, and the night watchman had to discover the fire in time and mobilize resources to put out the fire; In ancient times, there was a curfew system, and the night watchman could ensure the execution of the curfew, maintain social order, assist in arresting thieves, and maintain social security. The ancients were superstitious and believed that the night watchman could make the work of the ghost messenger orderly at night.
