In the theory of five elements, A and B belong to wood and C belongs to fire, which are used to represent five different attributes and forces. The nature of wood is considered to be growth, development and prosperity, while fire represents light, heat, energy and change.

In ancient divination, A, B and D also played an important role. They are used to express different hexagrams and meanings, which is an important basis for interpreting hexagrams and Yijing.

A, B, C and D are also used to name some important historical events and people. For example, during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Judy sent Zheng He to the Western Ocean seven times, and later generations called this historical event "the occasion of Party A and Party B" to commemorate this important historical moment.

In ancient astronomy, A, B and D were also used to mark different constellations and galaxies. For example, the first star in the Big Dipper is called "One Star", and the first star in the six stars in Nandou is called "Ding Xing".
