What unit is Jiazi?

It is the chronological unit of cadres and party branches.

Jiazi is the first year of a cycle in the traditional calendar of China. Jiazi is one of the main branches, and the order is the first. The former is guihai, and the latter is ugly. On the theory of yin and yang and five elements, the heavenly stem is the first tree of yang, and the son of the earthly branch is the water of yang, which is aquatic wood.

People born in Jiazi are regarded as "gold in the sea" in numerology. The 1 year of a cycle in traditional calendar years in China is called "Jiazi Year".

The lunar calendar is a chronological system, and the year of Jiazi is from the first day of the first month to New Year's Eve. This is the calendar rule of the lunar year, and there is no dispute.

However, the lunar calendar only borrows the date of official support, which cannot change the principle that the date of official support is counted from beginning of spring. Because the official calendar and the lunar calendar are two different calendars. The two are different in the starting point of a year, the division rules of months and the number of days in a year.

Now most historians agree that the Yellow Emperor is located in 2697 BC, so the first Jiazi year of Jiazi reincarnation is 2697 BC. The second Jiazi cycle is from 2637 BC to 2578 BC, so the second Jiazi year is 2637 BC.

So every 60 years is a sub-cycle, and the last sub-cycle is the 78th cycle (1924- 1983), so the last sub-year is 1924. Now it is the 79th Jiazi cycle (1984-2043), so the latest Jiazi year is 1984.
