How to calculate the year number with the 60-year sub-table

(Year number -3)÷60 (Jiazi), the remainder is within 1~60, and then it can be calculated according to Tiangan (A, B) and Dizhi [(Zichou).

For example, 2002: 2002÷60, the remainder is 22, then 22-3, and the number is 19. Looking up the 60-year Jiazi (table of branches and branches)No. 19, we can see that it is noon.

For example, 20 12, the remainder is 29, the heavenly stems are nine, and the earthly branches are five, that is, the China lunar calendar still uses earthly branches in non-Chen years.

In ancient China, people used heavenly stems and earthly branches to represent years, months, days and hours. The year, the month and the day are like four pillars supporting the building of "time", so they are called four pillars. ?

The ancient people in China formulated heavenly stems and earthly branches Theory, which should be based on observation and practice, rather than the concept of behind closed doors. For example, acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the circulation of meridians, and the selection of points is regular at different days and hours, which conforms to heavenly stems and earthly branches's law.

Extended data:

Ten-day dry and twelve-branch cyclic combinations: Jiazi, Emei, Bingyin ... until returning to the sea, there are 60 combinations, called Sixty Jiazi, and so on. Year, month and day are all 60 cycles.

60 is a wonderful number in the field of time. Not only did the ancients in China take 60 as a cycle, but in the western timing method, one minute is 60 seconds and one hour is 60 minutes.

Similarly, a 24-hour day in China corresponds to a traditional day of 65,438+02 hours (1 hour is a big hour and 2 hours is a big hour). China takes a five-day one-hour cycle, and the so-called "five-day waiting" is 60 hours in total.
