Extended data

Sixty jiazi was originally used for dates, and later used for dates. At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu stipulated that people should use the year of dry support. In the second year of the Han and Yuan Dynasties (AD 85), the Records of Cadres and Branches were published all over the country.

Later dynasties, in addition to the implementation of the year number, all used the dry branch method as an auxiliary means of chronology. After the Revolution of 1911, the year number was abolished, but the main branch year has been used to this day.
