Related background:

The so-called lunar calendar years are literally equivalent to trunks and branches. In ancient China, the sky was dominant and the earth was subordinate. The connection between heaven and stem is called heavenly stem, and the connection between earth and stem is called earthly branch. Together, it is called heavenly stems and earthly branches, or "dry branch" for short.

Chronology of cadres and branches is a chronology method used since ancient times in the history of China. The trunk is heavenly stems and earthly branches's floor. The order of matching branches is 60, which is recorded repeatedly, which is commonly known as "branch table". The first day of the first month is the beginning of a year, and the first day of the first month is the beginning of the month; The average age is the year of tropic of cancer.

Twelve kinds of animals are combined with twelve earthly branches to form the Year of the Zodiac. (See the table below) If the branch year contains the word "zi", it is the year of the rat, and everyone born in this year belongs to the "rat"; The Year of the Ox is a year of ugliness, and all the people born in this year belong to the ox. And so on.
