Hour by hour: the twelve double-hours

The Chinese almanac splits the day into twelve double-hours, each watched over by one of twelve day spirits. Six are on the yellow path (auspicious) and six on the black path (inauspicious). The Zi hour straddles midnight, so it appears twice. An inauspicious hour is not off-limits; it just calls for a little more care.
