Extended data

The chronology of branches in the lunar calendar, that is, branches are literally equivalent to trunks and branches. In ancient China, the sky was dominant and the earth was the foundation.

From, the sky is connected with the trunk, and the ground is connected with the branch, which is called the earthly branch. Together, it is called heavenly stems and earthly branches, or tree trunk for short.

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

In China, the earthly branches are matched with the zodiac, which are rat, ugly cow, silver tiger, hairy rabbit, Chen Long, four books, five horses, Weiyang, monkey, You You chicken, dog and sea pig in turn. Therefore, when each of us is born, we all have our own zodiac.

The ancient Chinese used these 60 pairs of branches to represent the serial numbers of year, month, day and time, and this is the chronological method of branches.
