What does "chicken" mean?

Chongji (Ding You) Shaxi is a saying in the Huangli calendar, which means: Chongji means rabbit day, which means Mao You, because the earth supports Mao You collide with each other, while Chongji (Ding You) means Tian Ke can rush and Mao You collide with each other, which means Gui Mao You. Shaxi means don't go west and don't do anything in that direction on this day.

Chongji (Ding You) is one of the main branches, with the order of 34. The former is Bingshen, and the latter is the Reform Movement of 1898. On the theory of yin and yang and five elements, the heavenly stems belong to the fire of yin, and the earthly branches belong to the gold of yin, which means that fire and gold are alike.

The 34th year of a cycle in China traditional calendar year is called "Ding You Year". In the following calendar years, if the number of years is divided by more than 60 and 37, or the number of years is reduced by 3, the remainder of division by 10 is 4, and the remainder of division by 12 is 10. The year from the first day of the first month of that year to the New Year's Eve of the following year was "Ding Younian".

Lunar calendar is a dry calendar, and solar terms are used to guide agricultural production. Branches and branches are not divided into solar terms, regardless of traditional habits or official calendars (see the perpetual calendar compiled by Purple Mountain Observatory of Chinese Academy of Sciences for details).
