How to check your heavenly stems and earthly branches?

The method of checking heavenly stems and earthly branches is as follows:

1, Rizhu (heavenly stems and earthly branches on the day of birth)

The time limit of the solar column is two 23 o'clock every day. For example, if a year is born on April 9, then the sun column starts at 23 o'clock on April 8 and ends at 23 o'clock on the 9 th.

Take Jiazi as 1, and the number of stems is: A 1, B 2, C 3, D 4, E 5, F 6, G 7, Xin 8, G 9, D 10. Branches: Zi 1, Chou 2, Yin 3, Mao 4, Chen 5, Si 6, Wu 7, Wei 8, Shen 9, You 10, Wu1,Hai 12(0).

The calculation formula is: ((AD year-1)×5+ (AD year-1)÷ 4+ days in a year) ÷60 Take the obtained residue ÷ 10, take the obtained residue as the heavenly stem ordinal number, and take the obtained residue ÷60.

Note: It is necessary to consider whether the current year is a leap year. If it is a leap year, February is 29 days. Any year divisible by 4 is a leap year, and any year divisible by 4 is a flat year.

2. In the Lunar New Year, the number of branches and branches on the day of the Spring Festival is 1.

First of all, we need to know the dry branches on the day of the Spring Festival, and we also need to know that the dry branches are different in each month of that year, for example, the lunar calendar is about 30 days, and the abortion is 29 days.

Calculation formula: the remaining number of days in the current year ÷ 10 is daily work, and the remaining number of days in the current year ÷ 12 is daily work. For example, in 2008, the second day of the second lunar month was the Year of Wuzi, and the Spring Festival was Ding Chou, which was 1. There are 30 days in the first month and two days in February, totaling 32 days.

Then it is as follows: Find the heavenly stem: 32 ÷ 10 = 3...2 (the remainder is d 1, so 2 is e). Seeking earthly support: 32 ÷ 12 = 2...8 (the remainder is ugly 1, and that 8 is Shen). Therefore, the main support of the second day of the second lunar month in 2008 is Wushen.

Formula:

There is a formula for comparing heavenly stems and earthly branches's five elements, that is, every year is one year old, January is C, February is D, and so on. It has been three years since February in Lu Yingong, and it has never stopped recording the days of cadres and branches in China. This is the single longest method known to mankind so far.

At the same time, we use the branches of the lunar calendar to indicate the time of birth. In the lunar calendar, one hour spans two hours, and twenty-four hours a day is twelve hours. By comparing the fire, water and soil properties of Jin Mu above, we can know our five elements properties.

As we all know, Jin Mu's theory of fire, water, soil and five elements was summed up by the ancients through long-term observation and experience of nature in their life practice. Wood, fire, earth, gold and water are five common substances in daily life, which promote and restrict each other and form the theory of five elements.
