For example, the words A and B are paired with wood (4:48-9:36) and C and D are paired with fire (9:).

36-14:24), and the word "Wuji" is given to the earth (14:24-19:).

The ancient labor Lugai people initially described the time mainly with reference to the obvious celestial phenomena, the biological clock and the daily routine, such as the rooster crow, Pingdan, the morning eclipse, the middle of the day, the human setting, etc., and then gradually changed to the time equipment readings to describe, and later gradually added five elements to the readings of these time equipment. For example, add wood to the characters A and B (4:48-9:

36), to the word C-Ding with fire (9:36-14:24), to the word Wu Ji with the word to earth (14:

24-19:12), the eggplant is mixed with gold for the word heptxin (19:12-24:
