This is a term used for birthdays. The so-called birth refers to the four time units of the year, month, day and hour of birth, and a time unit is represented by a heavenly stem and a earthly branch. Then combine the four time units of year, month and day with four heavenly stems and four earthly branches to record the time, which is eight words, so it is called a birthday. For example, at this time today (the fourth time is 9: 00-65438). The Japanese yen refers to the date of birth, which is the day in the above example, and the earthly branch of the Japanese yen is the earthly branch of the day, which is the child.
