Extended information

The so-called calendar year of the lunar calendar, that is, literally speaking, the trunk and branches are equivalent. In ancient China, the sky was dominant and the earth was subordinate. The connection between the sky and the stem was called the heavenly stem, and the connection between the ground and the branch was called the earthly branch. Together, it was called heavenly stems and earthly branches, which was called the trunk branch for short.

There are ten heavenly stems, namely, A, B, C, D, E, Ji, G, Xin, Ren and Gui, and twelve earthly branches, which are Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai in turn. The ancients put them together in the order of Jia Zi, Yi Ugly, Bing Yin ... (that is, the sky turns six times and the earth turns five times, which is just a cycle), and sixty pairs from Jia Zi to Gui Hai are called Jia Zi.

The ancients in China used these sixty pairs of branches to indicate the serial numbers of years, months, days and hours, which went round and round. This is the chronology of branches and branches.
