Where do you get the five elements of space-time state information? How do you know when it's Jin Wang and when the fire is blocked? Based on this situation, the ancients created the heavenly stems and earthly branches which objectively reflected the time and space signals. On the one hand, the branches themselves are symbols used by the ancients to record and infer time, and they are used as calendars.
Of course, some important events in history were named after cadres and branches, such as the Sino-Japanese War and the Revolution of 1911. The ancients took A, B, C, D, E, Ji, G, Xin, Ren and Gui as the ten heavenly stems, and Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai as the twelve earthly branches. The operation cycle of heavenly stems is ten, and that of earthly branches is twelve. With the cooperation of heavenly stems and earthly branches, the odd number of heavenly stems matches the odd number of earthly branches, and the even number of heavenly stems matches the even number of earthly branches, resulting in an operation cycle of 60 hours, 60 days, 60 months and 60 years, which is repeated in an orderly manner and forms a stable periodic law. Because the cycle of stem-branch collocation begins with the heavenly stem "A" and ends with the heavenly stem "Gui" and the earthly branch "Hai", we call this cycle with 60 as a process "Jiazi". On the other hand, because branches have different five-element attributes, they can also reflect the five-element information of a certain space-time state. For example, A is a sunny tree, and son is sunny water. 1984 is the year of Jiazi, and the trunk and branches are the structures of Shui Mu. Another example is the seventh month of the lunar calendar 1984, which is the Shen Yue in numerology, and the moon, water and Shen Nai cooperate with Tiangan. Orientation, A, B, Yin, Mao, Oriental Wood, C, D, Southern Fire and so on.
