Who invented the Ganzhi chronology? What is the Ganzhi chronology and how to use it?

The Ganzhi era sprouted in the Western Han Dynasty, began in Wang Mang, and passed in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. In the second year of Emperor Yuanzhang of the Han Dynasty (85 AD), the imperial court ordered the implementation of the Ganzhi Chronicle throughout the country. Some people believe that China used the Ganzhi year before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

However, this is the year of the Tai Sui, and the year of the Tai Sui is used, and the stem branch represents the twelve chens (the ecliptic is divided into twelve equal parts). Jupiter orbits the sky once in the year, so Tai Sui has traveled more than one hour in about 86 years, which is called "Chaochen". In the Zhuan calendar, the first year of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty (104 years ago) was Tai Sui in Bingzi, and the Taichu calendar was changed to Ding Chou with the Chaochen method.

In the last year of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, the Santong calendar recompiled by Liu Xin changed the first year of Taichu to Bingzi, and the second year of Taishi (95 BC) from Yiyou to Bingxu. The scholars of the Eastern Han Dynasty did not use the transcendental method. Therefore, the Tai Sui year and the Ganzhi year are the same on the surface from the second year of the Taishi.

The Ganzhi chronology method appeared and was used in the Western Han Dynasty, the year star chronology method appeared and was used in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the one in the Yin Shang oracle bone is the Ganzhi day method, not the Ganzhi chronology, the Yin Shang chronology is not the Ganzhi chronology, the use of the Ganzhi in time can be traced back to the Xia Dynasty, but the Ganzhi for the chronological side of the Western Han Dynasty only began to appear and use, so to speak, although the Yin Shang period appeared in the Ganzhi record time, but it was not perfect at that time, and the Ganzhi that appeared on the oracle bone was also a headache for archaeologists. We can only examine the time, but not the years.

The Ganzhi chronology method is a kind of year, month, day, and hour that uses the heavenly stem and the earthly branch to represent the year. For example, the year uses a heavenly stem and an earthly branch, and this year's stem branch year is Renchen. The heavenly stem is Ren, and the earthly branch is Chen.

From the top of the earthly branch, Tatsu means dragon. Then this year is the Year of the Dragon.

The method of speculation is as follows: Ganzhi chronology.

For example, Jiazi is the first year, Yichou is the second year, and Bingyin is the third year......Sixty years is a week. The week is over, and then from the beginning of the year, the cycle begins, and the cycle continues. For example, 1929 is the year of the lunar calendar, and 1930 is the ......year of the lunar yearBy 1989, it was the first year of the lunar calendar.

The Jisi year and Gengwu year that we see on the calendar are arranged according to the method of the Ganzhi year. Divide the solar calendar year by the remainder of 60 minus 3 to get the serial number of the lunar calendar stem branch of the year, and then check the stem branch above is the stem branch age. If the number of serial numbers is less than or equal to zero, 60 is added to the number of serial numbers.

For example, find the 1991 dry branch; 1991 60 = 33 surplus 11, the number of annual trunk branch numbers = 11-3 = 8. Check the Ganzhi table and know that the year is the year of Xinwei. Another example is to ask for the 1983 dry branch:

1983 60 = 33 surplus 3, the serial number of the stem branch = 3-3 = 0, plus 60, check the table of the stem branch to know that the year is Guihai.

The sexagenary branch is referred to as the stem branch, which is used to arrange the year number and date in the summer calendar.

The calendar uses the heavenly stem and the earthly branch to arrange the year number and date, and the heavenly stem has a total of ten, so it is also called the "ten heavenly stems", and its order is: A, B, C, D, E, f, g, xin, non, and dec; There are a total of 12 earthly branches, and the order of arrangement is: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai.

Among them, A, C, E, G, and non are yang stems, and B, D, H, XIN, and dec are yin stems. Zi, Yin, Chen, Wu, Shen, and Xu are the yang branches, and Chou, Mao, Si, Wei, You, and Hai are the yin branches.

With a stem and an earthly branch matched, arranged, the heavenly stem is in the front, the earthly branch is in the back, the heavenly stem starts from the first, the earthly branch starts from the son, the yang stem is against the yang branch, and the yin stem is against the yin branch (the yang stem is not matched with the yin branch, and the yin stem is not matched with the yang branch) to obtain a 60-year cycle of jiazi circle. It is called "Sixty Jiazi" or "Flower Jiazi". In the past, the people of our country used to record years, months, days, and hours in a cycle of 60 jiazi.

The 22 symbols of the sexagenary branch are intricately orderly, full of harmony and regularity. It shows the laws of nature, the interaction of time (time) and space (direction), and the results of the action of "yin" and "yang". The Chinese calendar contains the idea of the five elements of yin and yang and the laws of natural circulation.

Year: Each stem branch is one year, and after sixty stems, it is counted from the beginning, and the cycle is endless. Starting from Jiazi, it is called Yijiazi or Yihua Jiazi after 60 years. It is called the Ganzhi chronology.

Month: The first month of the first month is started by Yin, and the earthly branch of each month is fixed, and then combined with the heavenly stem in turn; From the first month of the first year, the month of Bingyin, February is the month of Dingmao, and the month of March is Wuchen. From the month of Jiazi to the month of Guihai, a total of sixty Jiazi, just five years.

Day: Starting from the Jiazi day, it is arranged in order, and the 60th day is just a cycle of dry branches.

Time: It starts from the Jiazi time, but the earthly branch of the time is fixed, twelve hours a day.

The Ganzhi chronology has been used since ancient times in the Chinese calendar. Ganzhi is a general term for the heavenly stem and the earthly branch. The sequence of the stem branch is matched exactly sixty times a week, and the cycle is repeated, and the cycle is recorded, which is commonly known as the "stem branch table". The Ganzhi year is changed from the beginning of spring to the beginning of spring every year.

Calculation method: According to the first year of the Common Era, it is the year of Xinyou, Xin 8 unitary 10, the dry cycle is 10, and the cycle of 10 branches is 12.

The order of the heavenly stems is 1 10 from the first to the decyl, and the order of the earthly branches is 1 12 in the order of the sub to the hai.

Year stem = n-3 (n>3) or n-3 + 10 (n 3), n = the remainder of the year number divided by 10 = the single digit of the year number.

Year branch = n-3 (n>3) or n-3 + 12 (n 3), n = the remainder of the year number divided by 12.

Example: Find the dry branches of 1164 A.D. and 2011 A.D.

4 3 1 A in 1164, 1 3 10 8 Xin in 2011;

0 3 12 9 Shen in 1164 and 7 3 4 Mao in 2011;

Therefore, the dry branch in 1164 A.D. is Jiashen, and the dry branch in 2011 is Xinmao.

The Ganzhi Chronicle is a kind of chronological method in ancient China. That is, the 12 earthly branches of A, B, C, D, E, G, XIN, NON, and 癸 are combined in order to record the twelve earthly branches of A, B, C, C, D, E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui, and Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai. Such as Jiazi, Yichou, etc., after 60 years and then returned to Jiazi.

The cycle goes on and on. China's traditional dating method still follows the Ganzhi chronology.

1 Jiazi 2 Yichou 3 Bingyin 4 Ding Mao 5Wuchen 6 has been 7 Gengwu 8 Xinwei 9 Renshen 10 癸酉.

11.Jiaxu 12 Yihai 13 Bingzi 14 Ding Chou 15 Wu Yin 16 Ji Mao 17 Gengchen 18 Xin Si 19 Ren Wu 20 Guiwei.

21 Jiashen 22 Yiyou 23 Bingxu 24 Dinghai 25 Wuzi 26 Jichou 27 Gengyin 28 Xinmao 29 Renchen 30 癸巳.

31 Jiawu 32 Yiwei 33 Bingshen 34 Ding You 35 Wuxu 36 Jihai 37 Gengzi 38 Xin Chou 39 Ren Yin 40 癸卯.

41 Jiachen 42 Yisi 43 Bingwu 44 Ding Wei 45 Wushen 46 Ji You 47 Gengxu 48 Xinhai 49 Renzi 50 Guichou.

51 Jiayin 52 Yimao 53 Bingchen 54 Ding Si 55 Wuwu 56 Ji Wei 57 Gengshen 58 Xin You 59 Ren Xu 60 Guihai.

These sixty pairs of stem branches, the heavenly stem meridian six cycles, and the earthly branch meridian five cycles are exactly sixty, which is called "sixty trunk branches". In this order, it is represented by a pair of dry branches every year, and it is a cycle of sixty years, which is called "sixty flower nails". For example, 1989 is the year of the year, and 1990 is the year of Gengwu; From the year of Jiazi in 1984 to 2044, it is the year of Jiazi again.

This method of dating is called the "Ganzhi Chronology" and has been used to this day.

Jiazi chronology: also known as the Ganzhi chronology.

How does the sexagenary chronology calculate the year, month and day? The easiest way to teach you.

The Chinese lunar calendar adopts the heavenly stems and earthly branches as the method of calculating the year, month, day and hour, that is, each heavenly stem and earthly branch are matched in a certain order without repeating, and are used as the code name of the year, month, day and time. Put a character in the "heavenly stem" in the front, and a character in the "earthly branch" in the back, so as to form a pair of stem branches. If the "heavenly stem" starts with the character "A" and the "earthly branch" begins with the character "zi", you can get:

The heavenly stem is the following ten years of liquid, 甲 (jiǎ), B (yǐ), C (bǐng), 丁 (dīng), 戊 (wù), 己 (jǐ), 庚 (gēng), 辛 (xīn), 壬 (rén), 癸 (guǐ). The husband is like the dry of the wood, and the strong is the yang; The branches of the Juju tree are weak and yin. Therefore, generally A, B, C, C, D, and E are yang, and Ji, G, Xin, Ren, and De are yin.

There are a total of twelve earth branches, 子 (zǐ), ugly (chǒu), 寅 (yín), 卯 (mǎo), 辰 (chén), 巳 (sì), 午 (wǔ), 未 (wèi), 申 (shēn), 酉 (yǒu), 戌 (xū), and 海 (hài). Everyone here knows that this is the zodiac sign. It is also the standard used by the ancients to keep time.

According to the Ming Dynasty historian Wan Minying, according to the clear records of ancient Chinese documents, it was invented when the Ganzhi was determined to be the emperor's clan, and it is recorded in detail in his work "Three Lives Tonghui". The invention of the Ganzhi marked the emergence of the most primitive calendar, which was used to calculate the years with numbers. In the pre-Qin period, each region also had its own calendar.

During the Qin and early Han dynasties, the Qin calendar was used, and the leap month was placed after September, which was called "Later September".

In the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the leap month was placed in the month of the year that did not contain Zhongqi as the leap month of the previous month. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to have a major turning point in the Chinese calendar, the national unified calendar, and the calendar also became a relatively independent science and technology.

1. Ten days of dryness:

甲 [jiǎ], B [yǐ], C [bǐng], 丁 [dīng], 戊 [wù], 己 [jǐ], 庚 [gēng], 辛 [xīn], 壬 [rén], 癸 [guǐ].

2. Twelve earthly branches:

子 [zǐ], ugly [chǒu], 寅 [yín], 卯 [mǎo], 辰 [chén], 巳 [sì], 午 [wǔ], 未 [wèi], shen [shēn], 酉 [yǒu], 戌 [xū], hai [hài].

A, B, C, D, E, G, XIN, REN, DE, ZI, CHOU, YIN, MAO, CHEN, SI, WU, WEI, SHEN, YOU, XU, HAI "QI YANWU IS THE SIMPLIFIED HEAVENLY AND TERRESTRIAL BRANCHES.

The 12 earthly branches correspond to the 12 zodiac signs:

Zi-Rat, Chou-Niu, Yin-Tiger, Mao-Rabbit, Chen-Dragon, Si-Snake, Wu-Horse, Wei-Sheep, Shen-Monkey, You-Chicken, Xu-Dog, Hai-Pig.

The Ganzhi (gānzhī) chronology method has been used in the Chinese calendar since ancient times.

The stem branch is the general name of the heavenly stem and the hall infiltration earthly branch. The sequence of the stem branch is matched exactly sixty times a week, and the cycle is repeated, and the cycle is recorded, which is commonly known as the "stem branch table".

The analysis is as follows: 1. A, B, C, D, E, H, G, XIN, NON, and DE are called "ten heavenly stems";

2. Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai are called "Twelve Earthly Branches".

The 10 heavenly stems and the 12 earthly branches are matched in turn to form 60 basic units, and the two cooperate with each other in a fixed order

Jiazi, Yichou, Bingyin, Dingmao, Wuchen, Jisi, Gengwu, Xinwei, Renshen, Guiyou,

Jiaxu, Yihai, Bingzi, Dingchou, Wuyin, Jimao, Gengchen, Xinsi, Renwu, and Decandron Potato Wei,

Jiashen, Yiyou, Bingxu, Dinghai, Wuzi, Jichou, Gengyin, Xinmao, Renchen, Guisi,

Jiawu, Yiwei, Bingshen, Ding You, Wuxu, Jihai, Gengzi, Xinchou, Renyin, Guimao,

Jiachen, Yisi, Bingwu, Dingwei, Wushen, Jiyou, Gengxu, Xinhai, Renzi, Guichou,

Jiayin, Yimao, Bingchen, Dingsi, Wuwu, Jiwei, Gengshen, Xinyou, Renxu, Guihai.

After the combination of the heavenly stem and the earthly branch in this way, the new round starts exactly 60 years, so it is a cycle of 60 years.

Ganzhi dating method, the traditional dating method in China.

1 Meaning of stem and branch: Stem branch is the collective name of the heavenly stem and the earthly branch.

The Ten Heavenly Stems: A, B, C, D, D, propyl, heptane, xin, non, and dec.

Twelve earthly branches: Zi (rat) Chou (ox) Yin (tiger) Mao (rabbit) Chen (dragon) Si (snake) Wu (horse) Wei (sheep) Shen (monkey) You (chicken) 戌 (dog) Hai (pig).

2 The combination of stem and branch is used for chronology. That is, the stool is empty for ten days and the twelve earthly branches are combined into a stem branch in order with jujube and blind to form a dry branch, which is used for the year.

According to this arrangement, it can form 60 dry branches (that is, a sixtieth carapace). If it continues, it will return to its original state, and the cycle will never end.

Now the method of converting the year of the Common Era to the year of the Ganzhi Dynasty.

1) Number the ten heavenly stems and the twelve earthly branches. As follows:

A, B, C, D, pente, heptyl, xin, nondecan.

Zi Chou Yin Mao Chen Si Wu did not apply for Youxu Hai.

2) When calculating, the number of the last digit of the year corresponds to the number of the heavenly stem, and the remainder obtained by dividing the number of years by 12 corresponds to the number of the earthly branch.

For example, in 2012: the last digit is 2, and the corresponding number of the heavenly stem is "壬", and then divide 2012 by 12 to get 167 and more than 8, and the corresponding number of the Huailing branch is "Chen", which is 2012 as the year of "Renchen".
