How does heavenly stems and earthly branches match a person's birthday?

As early as 2697 BC, when the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of China, founded the country, heavenly stems and earthly branches made a great fuss about exploring the qi of heaven and earth and the five elements (water, fire and earth in Jin Mu), and started the ten-day work of A, B, C, D, E, Ji, G, Xin, Ren and Gui, and the work of Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu and Gui.

In the China calendar, the time for the moon to orbit the earth once (29.5306 days) is regarded as January, and the time for the earth to orbit the sun once (365.438+09 days) is regarded as a year. In order to make the average number of days in a year consistent with the number of days in the tropical year, a leap month is set up. According to records, in the 6th century BC, China began to coordinate the lunar calendar with the solar calendar by the method of 19.

Heavenly stems and earthly branches is a symbol designed for the convenience of 60 decimal places when people built calendars in the past. For ancient China people, the existence of heavenly stems and earthly branches was as simple as Arabic numerals. Later, these symbols were applied to maps, directions and time (time axis and space axis), so these numbers were endowed with more and more meanings.

The ancients (Yellow Emperor) observed Wang Shuo's moon and found that the two moons were about 59 days. 1February is generally more than 354 days (similar to the length of a tropical year), so the ancients got the concept of 12 months in a year. In the collocation diary method (ten-day dry), the yin-yang calendar was produced and developed in heavenly stems and earthly branches; It should be more mature in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties.

Heavenly stems and earthly branches, referred to as Ganzhi for short, is used to arrange year numbers and dates in the summer calendar.

The calendar uses heavenly stems and earthly branches to arrange year numbers and dates, and the heavenly stems are crosses, so it is also called "ten stems". The order of arrangement is: A, B, C, D, E, Ji, G, Xin, Ren and Gui; * * * The order of the twelve characters is: Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai. Among them, A, C, E, G and N are yang dryness, while B, D, J, Xin and Gui are yin dryness. Zi, Yin, Chen, Wu, Shen and Xu are the Yang branches, while Ugliness, Mao, Si, Wei, You and Hai are the Yin branches.

Dominate a stem with land, arrange them, with the heavenly stem in front, the earthly branch behind, the heavenly stem starting from the nail, the earthly branch starting from the child, the yang stem against the yang branch, and the yin stem against the yin branch (the yang stem against the yin branch and the yin stem against the yang branch), and get a cycle of 60 years. It is called "Sixty Jiazi" or "Flower Jiazi". In the past, China people used to mark the year, month, day and time with a cycle of 60 years.

Heavenly stems and earthly branches's twenty-two symbols are intricate and orderly, full of harmony and laws. It shows the law of natural operation, the real-time (time) space (orientation) interaction, and the result of yin-yang interaction. China calendar contains the thought of Yin-Yang and Five Elements and the law of natural circulation.

Year: one year for each branch, after 60 branches, start from the beginning and repeat. Starting from Jiazi, it is called Jiazi or Huahua Jiazi 60 years later. It's called the chronology of cadres and branches.

Month: the first month begins in Yin, and the branches of the earth are fixed in each month, and then they are combined with the sky in turn; From the first month to the third month of the first year, February is Ding Maoyue and March is Chen Wu. From Jiaziyue to Guihaiyue, * * * sixty Jiazi, exactly five years.

Day: Starting from Jiazi Day, arranged in order, the 60th day happens to be a trunk-branch cycle.

Time: Starting from Jiazi, but the branch of punctuality is fixed, twelve hours a day.

It originated from the observation of astronomical phenomena in ancient times and is a kind of "river map"

The river map and Luo Shu produced by astronomical observation became valuable things for the emperors of the three dynasties. Hetu and Luoshu are simple in structure and are one of the cultural cornerstones of ancient China. Liao Ping, a scholar of Confucian classics in Qing Dynasty, made many textual researches on The Book of Songs, The Book of Changes and The Internal Classic, and confirmed that the theory of The Internal Classic originated from The Book of Changes, and the mathematical theory of The Book of Changes was taken from Heluo.

The river map consists of five elements, five elements, yin and yang, and images of heaven and earth. The schema takes white circles as yang, sky and odd numbers; Black dots are yin, earth and even numbers. And the combination of heaven and earth and five elements, and the combination of yin and yang and five elements, so the schema structure distribution is as follows:

One and six * * * live in the north, because the sky is full of water, and the ground is 60%; Two and seven are friends who live in the south, because the land is second only to inflammation, and the sky is 70%; Three and eight live in the east as friends, because the sky is full of trees and the land is 80%; Four or nine live in the west, and gold is born because of the land, and the sky is 90%; Five and ten are in the same place and live in the center, because they were born in five places and the land is 100%. The river map is drawn according to the five-star season. Five stars, called five latitudes in ancient times, are five planets in the sky. Wood is called the old star, fire is called the twinkling star, earth is called the town star, gold is called the white star and water is called the morning star. Five elements of operation, divided into 28 dormitories. Because its orbit is not far from the sun road, the ancients used it to mark the sun. The five stars generally appear in the Arctic sky in the order of wood, fire, earth, gold and water. Each star has a 72-day line, and the five stars circle 360 degrees. It can be seen that the river map is drawn by the five-star sky, which is also the source of the five elements. Because before the winter solstice of 1 1 month every year, Mercury can be seen in the north. When the winter weather comes, everything is dormant, and there are only ice, snow and water on the ground. This is how the concept of water travel was formed. After the summer solstice in July, Mars was seen in the south. It was summer weather and the ground was very hot, so the concept of fire line was formed. At the vernal equinox in March, Jupiter appeared in the east, and just as spring came, plants sprouted and grew. The so-called "spring comes to the world to know the vegetation", and this is how the concept of wooden walking is formed. In September and the autumnal equinox, Venus appears in the west. In ancient times, weapons were represented in many ways to show the season of autumn war, and everything was old and withered, which led to Jin Xing. See Saturn in May, which means that the wet earth is in the long summer season, and the wood, fire and gold water all take this as the midpoint. Observing the four seasons climate change caused by wood fire and gold water from the ground, the concept of soil travel is formed in this way.

A withered man is better than a withered tree.

A: Just like plants emerge from the ground, the yang is inside and the yin is outside.

B: The vegetation is budding, the branches and leaves are soft and buckled.

C: Ice leaves are like the bright sun, burning with flames. Everything is burning, and it lights up when you see it.

D: Plants grow strong, just like people grow into adults.

E: lush, symbolizing the lush and prosperous vegetation of the earth.

Himself: It is also a kind of discipline. Everything is restrained and can be self-disciplined.

G: What's more, autumn harvest is waiting for spring.

Xin: Jin weixin, don't have a taste when it's over. If you are innovative, everything will change with awe and the program will be completely new.

Ren: pregnant, everything is pregnant in the hidden place of yang.

Yes, everything is hidden, pregnant and underground, but it is budding.

Supporters are still branches of a tree.

Son: Reproduction, Yang begins to sprout, and it reproduces in the next place.

Ugly: new york, cold and self-defeating.

Yin: patella also, yang will appear soon, and the patella with strong yang will play a role.

Mao: Everything comes out of the ground.

Chen: When you stretch, everything stretches.

S: Yes, the yang is gone.

Noon: Oh, yes, Yin and Yang are in harmony.

No: withered, sunny, sunny and quiet.

Shen: If you want to succeed, everything will succeed.

Unitary: Just like that, everything is mature.

Hey: destruction, everything will be destroyed.

Sea: Nuclear is also a collection of all things, and it is also strong.

Birthdays use the method of calculating the number of years.

Heavenly stems and earthly branches, referred to as Ganzhi for short, is used to arrange year numbers and dates in the summer calendar.

Tiangan is: A, B, C, D, E, G, Xin, Ren and Gui, also called Tiangan; The earthly branches are: Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai, also known as the Twelve Earthly Branches. Branches are still divided into yin and yang: A, C, E, G, Ren for yang dryness, B, D, Ji, Xin, classified as yin dryness; Zi, Yin, Chen, Wu, Shen and Xu are the Yang branches, while Ugliness, Mao, Si, Wei, You and Hai are the Yin branches. A heavenly stem and a terrestrial branch are arranged in pairs, with the heavenly stem in front and the terrestrial branch behind, the heavenly stem from the nail, the terrestrial branch from the child, the yang stem with the yang branch, and the yin stem with the yin branch (the yang stem without the yin branch and the yin stem without the yang branch). Sixty combinations are called "Sixty Jia Zi". In the past, people in China used to recycle calendar year, calendar month, calendar day and calendar time.

Tree trunk and branch chronology

For example, Jia Zi is the first year, Ugly B is the second year, and Bing Yin is the third year ... Sixty years is a week. Week after week, starting from the year of Jiazi, starting from the week, and starting again and again. For example, 1929 is the lunar year, 1930 is the year of Gengwu ... and 1989 is the lunar year. The four years and Gengwu years we see on the calendar are arranged according to the chronology of trunks and branches. Divide the Gregorian calendar year by the remainder of 60, and then subtract 3 to get the monthly branch number of that year, and then check the above branches to get the age of the branches. If the serial number is less than or equal to zero, add 60 to the branch serial number. For example, find 199 1 year; 199 1÷60=33 Remaining 1 1, annual serial number of stem and branch = 1 1-3=8. Check the list of cadres and branches, and you will know that this year is the year of Wei Xin. Another example is to find the main branch of 1983: 1983÷60=33+3, and the main branch serial number =3-3=0, plus 60. Check the main branch table and know that the year is Guihai.

Dry-branch moon method

The method of keeping the moon in the main branch is not widely implemented, mainly to let astrologers calculate the eight characters. The method is as follows: in the first year of the year, the first month is the third lunar month; B or Geng Year, the first month is Wuyin; The first month of Year C or Year Xin is Geng Yin, the first month of Year Ding Nian or Year Ren is Ren Yin, and the first month of Year E or Year decyl is Jia Yin. The main branch of the first month is known, and the rest months can be inferred in the order of sixty sons.

Dry branch method

The first day of onychomycosis, the second day of ugliness, the third day of bingyin ... 60 days a week. At the weekend, it starts from Jiazi Day and goes on and on. For example, in the fourth year of the lunar calendar (1989), the first day of the first month is Ding You Day, and the second day is the Reform Day ... The seventh day of March is exactly 60 days, so the second day of March is Ding You Day again.

Chronology of cadres and branches

The earthly branches in daytime are also certain, so 12 earthly branches are allocated in 24 hours, and at night 1 1 point to 1 point, 1 point to 3 o'clock, and the rest are pushed. The day is inferred from the day, and its song is as follows:

A has given birth to a, and B, G and C come first.

Bing Xin started in Wu, and was destined to be a boxer.

You can't do it, but you can't.

That is, if the day is A or his own, the child should be accompanied by A when he was a child; If the day is b or g, it should be accompanied by c as c; On the day of Bingxin, Wu was the son of Wu; Ding Renri is a boxer; Pentecost is a seedless day. When you know your child's main branch, you can infer the rest.

Birthday, or eight characters, is actually another way of saying the four pillars of Zhouyi. Four pillars refer to the time when a person was born, that is, year, month, day and hour. When people use "heavenly stem" and "earthly branch" to represent year, month, day and hour respectively, such as Jiazi Year, Shen Bingyue, Xin Ugly Day and Renyin Time. There are two words in each column and eight characters in four columns, so fortune telling is also called "measuring eight characters" According to the relationship between yin and yang attributes and the five elements of heaven and earth, it is inferred that human body is responsible and blessed. However, what I want to talk about here is not how to "measure eight characters", but how to calculate eight characters.

Four-column eight-character arrangement

Four pillars refer to the year, month, day and time when a person was born. Four-column arrangement refers to finding a person's date of birth. It is mainly divided into four steps.

Chronological column

Chronicle, that is, the year when a person was born, is represented by branches. Note that the dividing line between last year and next year is based on the intersection time of beginning of spring, not on the first day of the first month. For example, if someone was born at 22: 00 on February 4, 2000 in the solar calendar, because the lunar calendar was handed over to beginning of spring in 2000 at 20: 32 on February 4, 2000, his chronological column is 2000.

Moon column

Moon column, that is, the festival when a person is born, is represented by stem and branch. Note that the branches and branches of the month are not divided by the first day of each month in the lunar calendar, but by festivals. The festival before the handover is the festival of last month, and the festival after the handover is the festival of next month.

January silver moon February Uzuki March Chen Yue April Mitsuki.

From beginning of spring to Jing Ke, from Jing Ke to Qingming, from Qingming to Long Summer, from Long Summer to Foolish.

May, afternoon, June, no month, July, application, August, whole month.

From Miscanthus to summer, from summer to beginning of autumn, from beginning of autumn to Bailu, from Bailu to Cold Dew.

September, moon, October, moon, November, December, ugly moon.

From cold dew to beginning of winter, from beginning of winter to heavy snow, from heavy snow to slight cold, from slight cold to beginning of spring.

The significance of the festival:

Beginning of spring in the first month: "Li" means the beginning, which means that the spring of the revival of all things has begun again. The warmer weather and the revival of all things mark the beginning of farming activities. February 4th or 5th of the solar calendar is the beginning of spring.

February: Spring thunder begins to roar, waking up insects and small animals that are dormant and hibernating in the soil. Winter eggs are about to hatch. This solar term means that spring is getting stronger and the temperature is rising. The surprise is on March 6 or 7 of the Gregorian calendar.

Qingming Festival in March: This solar term means that the temperature gets warmer, plants germinate, and a beautiful and clear scene appears in nature. Qingming is April 5 or 6 in the solar calendar.

Long summer in April: This solar term means that in long summer, hot weather is coming, and agricultural activities have entered the busy season in summer. Long summer falls on May 6th or 7th of the Gregorian calendar.

Miscanthus Maydis: "Miscanthus Maydis" refers to the fine hairs at the tip of the shell. In the north, it is the time to cut wheat and plant rice, and it is also the busy season of agriculture. Miscanthus is on June 6 or 7 in the solar calendar.

Summer in June: This solar term indicates that it has entered a midsummer day, and the heat is pressing. Summer falls on July 7 or 8 of the Gregorian calendar.

Beginning of autumn in July: This solar term means that the hot summer will pass and the crisp autumn will begin. August 8th or 9th in Gregorian calendar is beginning of autumn.

August White Dew: This solar term refers to the cold weather, and the water vapor in the air often condenses into white dew on plants and other objects at night. The Millennium falls on September 8 or 9 of the Gregorian calendar.

Cold dew in September: This solar term indicates the beginning of winter, indicating that the cold degree of the climate will gradually increase. Cold dew falls on June 8 or 9 in Gregorian calendar, 10.

Beginning of winter in October: This solar term means that the crisp autumn days have passed and the cold winter has begun. Beginning of winter in the solar calendar is165438+1October 7th or 8th.

1 1 month heavy snow: this solar term means heavy snow, and the solar calendar is 65438+February 7 or 8.

Slight cold in December: This solar term indicates the beginning of the coldest season in winter, with frost. The slight cold is 65438+ Gregorian calendar1October 5th or 6th.

Sun ranks

Since February of the third year of Lu Yingong (722 BC), it has never stopped recording the days of cadres and branches in China. This is the only longest method known to human society so far.

The sun column refers to the day when people representing the main branches of the lunar calendar were born. Trunks and branches are recorded every 60 days. Because months are different from leap years, trunks and branches need to find a perpetual calendar.

In addition, the dividing line between day and day is divided by hours, that is, before eleven o'clock is the hour of the previous day, and after eleven o'clock is the hour of the next day. Don't think that midnight is the dividing point of a day.

Timetable column

The time column represents the time when a person was born. In the lunar calendar, one hour spans two hours, so a day is twelve hours.

Hours: 23: 00 am-1; Chou Shi: 65438+ 0: 00 -3: 00 am

Yin Shi: 3 am to 5 am Shi Mao: 5 am to 7 am.

Take a friend of mine as an example: My friend was born on August 27th, 1984, which was the year of Jiazi (as found in the book); According to the rhyme of the standing moon column, we can know that his year number is A, so the moon is headed by C, so his standing moon column is A; Accordingly, his daily column is Ghost Silk (seen in the book); According to the rhyme of the time column, his time column knows that it is a day's work and a time that matches the children, so the time column should be Chen Wu. In this way, his date of birth was excluded: "Jia Zi returned to Chen".

Children are the hope of every parent. As soon as the baby is born, there will be an accurate time. Birthday, as the ancients often said, contains the basic state of celestial bodies when a person is born, and also contains a person's future destiny.

In order to get the correct time of birth, the sundial is the most accurate measurement during the day. When the clock time is the artificial average time and the regional standard, it is necessary to calculate the "apparent solar time difference" according to the solar terms (ecliptic) and the "local longitude time difference" according to the place of birth, so as to get the real astronomical birth time.

Push the midnight method (is it appropriate? ):

Midnight is different from prime time, and the deduction method is slightly different. The time to check on the children starts at eleven o'clock in the evening and ends at one o'clock. People who give birth between eleven o'clock and twelve o'clock at night are at midnight. When it comes to being the son of tonight, it belongs to today. After twelve o'clock, it is tomorrow. The so-called midnight is today's evening, not tomorrow's morning. Tomorrow is early, not tonight. There are two o'clock at a time, the night before one o'clock and the morning after one o'clock The way to escape from work is slightly different from the way to get up in the morning. We must escape from another world after escaping from the stone sea.

For example, in the year of Bingwu, the month of Geng Yin, the ugly day, after eleven o'clock, before twelve o'clock, born at night. As the song goes: B Geng C for the first time. When it is the second day (Zhengzi), Ding Chou, Wuyin, Jimao, Chen Geng, Xinsi, Guiwei, Shen Jia, Yiyou, Xu Bing, Dinghai and Coconut must be Wuzi.

Kexuan Lecture: Every afternoon 1 1: 59: 59, 59 seconds, it is a night child, which belongs to yin; That is, the last four quarters, the original amount today. If it starts from 12 to 1 2, it will be early tomorrow morning, and the next four hours will belong to Yang, which will not be easy for thousands of years.

Since ancient times, when Jia has started to play Jiazi, the original Jiazi leaves are the same, so it is possible to add leaves.
