Brief introduction of Geng Shen

The 57th year of a cycle in China's traditional calendar year is called "Gengshen Year". In the following AD years, the number of years divided by more than 60 zeros, or the number of years divided by 3, the remainder divided by 10 is 7, and the remainder divided by 12 is 9. The years from the first day of the first month of that year to the New Year's Eve of the following year are all "Gengshen Year".

Lunar calendar is a dry calendar, and solar terms are used to guide agricultural production. Branches and branches are not divided into solar terms, regardless of traditional habits or official calendars (see the perpetual calendar compiled by Purple Mountain Observatory of Chinese Academy of Sciences for details).

Calendars are not commonly used, but calendars are mostly used for numerology. Therefore, it is based on the solar term month, not the new moon, which is different from the Gregorian calendar year based on the lunar year. In fact, the year of "Ganzhi" which has been widely circulated in recent years began in beginning of spring that year. This is a numerology view, not a common folk practice.

There is a saying in numerology: the world is infinite and there is no suffering in the world. Called Lu, he is a temporary official in the zodiac. Men occupy Lu, build houses with sticks and have power.

Geng Shenri (miscellaneous name) Beidou said: "There is a god who lives in the world. Every time on Gengshen Day, he will go to the Emperor of Heaven and tell people their sins. " (See: Geng Shenhui)
