maybe it's the number of hairs wumu has on his head...like some cartoon characters you see... there's a 3 haired chinese cartoon character...sanmao:

I guess hao could be for number, but the mao isn't as clear

could hair number be like stroke number?

could it be something to do with his shimao....number of strokes there?

btw I've been wondering whether this mao4hao4 [colon] is a clue...of course it could be the colon you see when time is written like in 12:01 am...but could it be a homophone for something else like "hair number"

Interestingly Michael Flatley's Irish Dancing in zhongwen wikipedia is just describred as 踢踏舞 [tap dancing]

so you could say:

他跳踢踏舞 [ta tiao titawu ...he tap dances]....alliteration and onomatopoeia rolled into one

Wo shi WuWang said he.....heehee

[I am the Lord of the Dance said he]

btw....I think that 阳 has 7 strokes as it takes 2 strokes to make the 3 like part of the left side of the chararacter...the 1st 2 strokes that is...and thus 3 strokes in total to make the whole left side of the character turning it into more like a B

I just read that in the Chinese calendar the new day can start at 11pm. I'm not sure if this is still true, but maybe we need to revise our thinking. Perhaps it could be anytime after 11pm and that would explain their rush...though Jason did say it was after midnight

this wu mu...5 wood part has me back to the wu xing....the 5 phases..specifically the wood phase. I wonder what time Jupiter rises that night?  Jupiter is also the 5th planet from the sun. It's orbit is also nearly 12 earth years[ back to midnight answer]

It's also new yang in that phase so that fits with the yang of the second character

1st and 2nd celestial stems
