What year is Ren Xu and Ren Xu?

Ren Xunian is one of the 60 years in the official calendar, and the corresponding Gregorian calendar years, such as 1982, 1922 and 1862(60-year cycle), are all the year of the dog.

Ren Xunian is one of the sixty years of the official calendar, that is, the year of the dog. The so-called chronology of dry branches means that dry branches are literally equivalent to trunks and branches and leaves. In ancient China, the sky was dominant and the earth was subordinate. The connection between the sky and the trunk is called heavenly stems, and the connection between the ground and branches is called earthly branches. Together, it is called heavenly stems and earthly branches, or "dry branch" for short.

There are ten heavenly stems, namely, A, B, C, D, E, Ji, G, Xin, Man and Ghost, and twelve earthly branches, namely, Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai.

The ancients put them together in the order of Jiazi, Ugly B and Bingyin (that is, the sky turns six times and the earth turns five times, which is just a cycle). There are 60 pairs from Jiazi to Guihai, which are called Jiazi. The ancient Chinese used these 60 pairs of branches to represent the serial numbers of year, month, day and time, and this is the branch chronology.

Extended data:

The chronology of cadres and branches began in beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, and the chronology of cadres and branches is the calendar chronology of cadres and branches. The same is true of the official almanac (that is, the Yellow Calendar). After the Republic of China, the emperor's year number was abandoned, and the lunar calendar can only record the year with dry branches, which ranges from the first day of the first month to New Year's Eve, which is indisputable.

Lunar calendar and trunk calendar are two different calendars, which are different in the starting point of a year, the division rules of months and the number of days in a year. Due to the use of the Gregorian calendar after the Republic of China, many people lack calendar knowledge, so they often confuse the calendar with the lunar calendar.
