Jiazi Festival is the first day of China Ganzhi calendar year.

In the ancient calendar of China, A, B, C, D, E, Ji, G, Xin, Man and Ghost were called "Ten Heavenly Stems", while Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai were called "Twelve Earthly Branches". The two cooperate with each other in a fixed order, forming chronology, calendar, calendar and calendar. Ancient sages believed that Jiazi was the beginning of the main branch and the first combination of the main branches. The beginning of things is also the establishment of things.

After Jiazi, there is a combination of Ugly B and Bingyin, which means that after Jiazi appeared, others appeared one after another.

Because "Jiazi" has such a special meaning, this idea has also been applied to the study of choosing a day. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is best to use Jiazi every day. The beginning of things: listing for business, building a house and so on.
