What is the meaning of fleeting time in divination?

The fleeting time refers to heavenly stems and earthly branches that we have experienced every year. How to calculate a year depends on the results of heavenly stems and earthly branches and heavenly stems and earthly branches. For example, if someone is lucky enough to be an official, when can he be promoted? It depends on the time. If the time flies and he becomes an official, then he will be promoted this year. Conversely, if an official is defeated, when will he lose his official position? It also depends on the time. If an official is injured in time, he will lose his official position this year.

In the past, fortune tellers called people a year's luck. Song Sushi's "Two Rhymes from the East Pavilion": "All localities may wish to build idle and count the years." "Awakening the World and Du Zichun's Three Visits to Chang 'an": "I think my time is not good, so I didn't enjoy myself, even so." Zhao Shuli's Marriage of Xiao erhei: "Xiao erhei was clever since he was a child, counting the zodiac, six years' lessons, reciting the fleeting time, or a few days' ugly Jia is golden in the sea' and other formulas, and he has learned them by heart.
