Tai sui Shen corresponds to 60 Jia Zi, a total of 60, one on duty every year. Tai sui, who was on duty that year, was called "Tai sui", the son of heaven in the middle of the year, and was in charge of the good and bad luck of the world that year.

The so-called "moon building" of the ancients is to connect the twelve months of a year with the twelve days in the sky. Twelve Chen is a concept of ancient astronomy, which divides the twelve days around the ecliptic (that is, the route of the sun moving once a year in the sky) into twelve equal parts, with twelve branches from east to west: Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai. Twelve branches match December and are called "Building the Moon", "Building the Ugly Moon" and "Building silver moon".
