The Chinese word 中午 (zhōngwǔ) for "noon" is composed of two characters: 中 (zhōng) and 午 (wǔ). The character 中 means "middle" or "center", while 午 means "horse". In ancient China, the time of day was often determined by the position of the sun in the sky. Noon was considered to be the middle of the day, when the sun was at its highest point in the sky. The character 午 was used to represent noon because it was believed that the sun was at its strongest at this time of day, like a galloping horse.Over time, the character 中午 came to be used to refer to the specific time of day around noon. It is now commonly used to mean "noon" or "midday".
