Summary
DescriptionWuxing Dabu (五行大布) Tiger hour charm 02.jpg |
English: The inscription is read right to left as yin shi (寅时) which can translate as the “tiger hour”. Which is surrounded by "auspicious clouds".
The third (3rd) “Chinese hour”, or shichen, which would be 3:00 AM to 4:59 AM, was named yin shi (寅时) after the third (3rd) of the Twelve Earthly Branches. Each Earthly Branch is associated with one of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac and the third animal in the series is the tiger. The ancient Chinese people believed that the period 3:00 AM – 4:59 AM was the time window in which the tiger liked to hunt. |
Date | Circa 557-581 AD. These “tiger hour” charms offering protection and good luck are very old and can be dated back to about the same time period (557-581 AD) as the “Large Coin of the Five Elements”. |
