V . Teaching Time

Four Periods

Background Information:
I . The Origin of Sunday .Monday,etc.
The names of the days of the week are of Anglosaxon origin.
Sunday is the first day of the week ,anciently dedicated
to the sun .The old English form is Sunnendaeg . For Christians ,
the day is ″the Lord’s Day″ .
Monday is the second day of the week . It is called the
day of the moon by the Anglo-saxons . The old English form is Monand
.
Tuesday is the third day of the week . The day is so
named in memory of Tiu (Tiw , or Tyr ) , the Roman god of war .
Wednesday is the fourth day of the week . The day is
named in memory of Woden or Odin ,who was the god of wisdom , poetry
, war and agriculture . So it is also called Woden’s Day or Odin’s
Day . As god of the death , he presided over the banquets of those
slain in battle . He became the All-wise by drinking Mimir’s
fountain , but purchased the distinction at the pledge of one eye ,
and is often represented as a one -- eyed man wearing a hat and
carrying a staff .
Friday is the sixth day of the week . In ancient Rome the
day was called dies Veneris , dedicated to Venus , the Roman goddess
of beauty and sensual love . Owing to this the French call it
Vendredi . The northern Europeans adopted the same nomenclature and
the nearest equivalent to Venus was Frigg or Freyja . The old
English is frige daeg , this is Friday in Modern English .
Saturday is the seventh day of the week . The day was
called Saturdaeg by Anglo---Saxons after the Latin Saturni dies ,
that is , the day of Saturn who was a Roman deity , I . e . god of
seedtime and harvest .

II . The Origin of the Months
The word″month″ means one of the twelve divisions of a
year . Anciently a new month started on the day of the new moon , or
the day after ; hence the name (Old English world is monath) is
connected with moon .
January is the first month of the year ,which was
dedicated by the Romans to Janus who presided over the entrance to
the year and , having two faces , could look back to the year past
and forward on the current year .
February was the month of purification amongst the
ancient Romans . February 2nd , Canelmas Day , is the feast of the
purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary . It is said that if the
weather is fine and frosty at the close of January and the beginning
of February , there is more winter ahead than behind . The
Anglo-Saxons called this month ″sprout -- kale ″from the sprouting
of cabbage or kale .
March , The month is so called from Mars , the Roman god
of war , or the planet of this name because of its reddish tinge .
The old saxon name was Hreth-monath meaning rough-month , from its
boisterous winds . Subsequetly it was changed to Lengthmonath
meaning lengthening month ; it was also called Hlyd---monath meaning
boisterous month .
April is the opening month when trees unfold and the
womb of nature open with young life , It may be a relic of the Roman
Cerealia , held at the beginning of April . The tale is that
proserpina was sporting in the Elysian meadows , and had just filled
her lap with daffodils , when Pluto carried her off to the lower
world . Her mother , Ceres ,heard the echo of her screams , and went
in search of her voice ;but her search was a fool′s errand .
May . The Anglo-Saxons called this month thrimilce ,
because then cows can be milked three times a day ; the present name
is the Latin Maius , probably from Maia , the goddess of growth and
increase .
June is named from the Roman Junius , a gens or clan
name akin to juvenis , young . Alternatively , it may derive from
Juno , ″the venerable ox -- eyed″wife and sister of Jupiter , and
queen of heaven.
July is named by Mark Anthony in honour of Julius Caesar
. It was formerly called Quintilis , as it was the fifth month of
the Roman year . The old Saxon name for it was Maedd-Monath because
the cattle were turned into the meadows to feed .
August was formerly called sextilis in the Roman
calendar ,the sixth month from March ( when the year began ) . It
was changed to Augustus in 8 B. C . in honour of Augustus ( 63
B.C.-A.D. 14) , the first Roman Emperor , whose ″lucky month ″it was
. It was the month in which he began his first consulship ,
celebrated three Triumphs , received the allegians on the Janiculum
, reduced Egypt , and ended the civil war . The old Saxon name for
this month was Weodmonath (weedmonth, weed meaning vegetation in
general ) .
September was the seventh month from March , where the
year used to commence . The old Saxon name was Gerst-monath (barley
month ), or Haefest-monath ; and after the introduction of
Christianity Halig-monath , which was holy---month , the nativity of
the Virgin Mary being on the 8th , the Exaltation of the Cross or
Holy Cross Day on the 14th ; St . Michael’s Day on the 29th .
October was the eighth month of the ancient Roman
calendar when the year began in March ; therefore″octo- ″, meaning
eight , is used . The old English was Winmonath , that is ,
wine-month , or the time of vintage ; also Teo-monath , I,e,tenth
month , and Winter-fylleth meaning winter full-moon .
November was the ninth month in the ancient Roman
Calendar when the year began in March ″Nove-″means nine , The old
Saxon name for this month was Wind-monath meaning wind-month when
the fishermen drew their boats ashore , and gave over fishing till
the next spring ; it was also called Blot-monath---the same as the
old Dutch name ″Slaght--maand″.
December was the tenth month when the year began in
March with the vernal equinox ; but , since January and February
have been inserted before it , the name is somewhat misplaced ,
(Note : the prefix dec(a)---indicates ten .)

III.Time Zone
Time Zone refers to a certain standard time which is
suitble for a certain area . Generally , the earth is divided into
24 time zones according to meridian line , which is called the
eastern time zone 1-11, and the western time zone 1-11, Each time
zone covers 15 meridians. In 1884 the International Meridian
Congress decided that the meridian which goes through Greenwich is
used as the standard meridian . The boundary lines of every time
zone are the meridians . The time of every time zone is
called″zone--time″.The zone time of two zones next to each other
differs one hour from east to west . For example .New York in the
eastern part of the USA belongs to the fifth western time zone while
Los Angeles belongs to the eighth western time zone . So the time in
Los Angeles is three hours later than in New York.
China covers five time zones . But , for convenience ,
most parts in our country adopts the eighth eastern time zone , that
is Beijing time.
