I. heavenly stems and earthly branches
Heavenly stems and earthly branches, referred to as trunk and branch for short, is a set of numbers used to calculate the calendar in ancient China. Among them, there are ten kinds of heavenly stems: A, B, D, E, G, G and G; There are twelve branches on the earth: Zi Chou Mao Yinchen applied for a visit at noon. Heavenly stems and earthly branches together is sixty, also called sixty flowers. The following table shows them.

Second, the five elements
Five elements is a philosophical concept in ancient China, and it is a simple materialistic view of ancient people's understanding of nature.
"Yi" said: "Those who are prone to Tai Chi will also have two devices." The so-called "two instruments" are yang, so it is easy to say: "One yin and one yang are the Tao." Refers to the contradiction of things, such as day and night, cold and heat, length, gender, male and female, movement, rigidity and softness.
The five elements are a more detailed analysis of everything in the world. The ancients believed that the world was composed of five basic elements: gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and further believed that these five elements were mutually transformed and restricted, thus transforming and restricting each other, forming the structure and interest of everything in the world. The transformation of five elements can be divided into two types:
1. Xiangsheng: Jinshui, aquatic wood, Muhuo, Huotu, Primary Gold.
2. Xiangke: Jin Kemu, Muketu, Tuke water, water to fire, fire to gold.
Third, the distribution of the five elements
Since everything in the world belongs to the five elements, heavenly stems and earthly branches is no exception. The ancients distributed the five elements as follows:
golden

Fourth, the relationship between the 24 solar terms and the main branches.
There are two kinds of calendars in ancient and modern times: solar calendar and lunar calendar. The Gregorian calendar is now a daily Gregorian calendar (formerly known as julian calendar, but today's Gregorian calendar was revised by Pope Gregory X), and the lunar calendar is like a general teaching calendar. The main difference between these two calendars is that the solar calendar takes the orbit of the earth around the sun (relative to the earth, it is the orbit of the sun around the ecliptic) as the tropic year, which is divided into twelve months on average, and then divided into big leap months to make up the rest. The advantage of the solar calendar is that the four seasons are distinct and accurate; The lunar calendar strictly follows the period when the moon shines, because it does not take into account the period when the earth revolves, so it is impossible to accurately divide the boundaries of the four seasons. In fact, the traditional lunar calendar in China is a combined calendar. On the one hand, the lunar calendar is marked by the lunar cycle, on the other hand, the leap month is cleverly set to synchronize with the tropic year.
The so-called twenty-four solar terms mean that the 360-degree angle of the earth's revolution around the sun is divided into 24 points, that is, every time the sun moves eastward 15 degrees on the ecliptic, it becomes a "qi", and it moves 360 degrees, making a total of 24 qi. In the lunar calendar, these 24 solar terms are named beginning of spring, Rain, Sting, Equinox, Qingming, Grain Rain, Long Summer, Xiaoman, Miscanthus and Summer Solstice. Among them, twelve solar terms, such as beginning of spring, Jingzhe, Qingming, Changxia, Mangzhong, Xiaoshu, beginning of autumn, Bailu, Hanlu, beginning of winter, Heavy Snow and Slight Cold, are called "solar terms", and the rest are called "Zhongqi". Festival is regarded as a calendar, but it is actually calculated strictly according to the tropic year and belongs to the lunar model. The division of years and months used in the four-column arrangement is also strictly based on solar terms, rather than the usual division of years and months in the lunar calendar or Gregorian calendar. This is the basic principle of the four pillars, so that the arrangement of the four pillars is not affected by the calendar changes. Its accuracy, more importantly, takes the tropic year as the chronological symbol, conforms to the rhythm of the cold and hot changes of the four seasons, and follows the relationship. These are the theoretical foundations of numerology. The relationship between the four pillars and the solar terms is listed as follows.

Note: 1. The beginning of a year is strictly based on the beginning of spring. For example, 1994 9: 3 1: 00 beginning of spring, and the Jiaxu year starts from 1994 9: 3 1: 0995 beginning of spring time.
2. The beginning of each month is strictly in accordance with the delivery time. For example, at 9: 00 on February 4th in beginning of spring, 1994, silver moon (1 month) in JOE starts from beginning of spring time and ends at 3: 38 on March 6th, which is counted as Uzuki (February), and so on.
Five, the combination of heaven and earth
Keywords methylhexyl earth, ethyl heptyl fund, propyl octyl hydration water, butyl nonyl wood, pentyl decyl hydration fire
The so-called five-in-one combination of heaven and earth refers to the changes caused by the interaction of five groups of heaven and earth. For example, when the sky is dry, the sky is dry, and the sky is dry, their attributes have changed and new attributes have emerged. Of course, in practical application, there are strict conditions for blending, and it is not considered that propane will become water at the sight. Bing Xin is like this, and the rest can be analogized.

The six red branches of the earth refer to the changes between the branches of the earth. For example, the earthly branch meets the earthly branch at noon, colliding and losing both sides. As for whether this snapping up is good or bad, we need to make a comprehensive inference.
Seven, three branches

The triad of earthly branches is the same as the five-fold of heaven and earth, that is, the interaction between earthly branches changes its nature. If the three branches of Haimao don't get together, they will become wood. In practice, the combination of land and branches also has strict conditions.
Eight, the ground branch half triad
The sea and the base are combined, but the base is not.
Single alloy
The son of God is combined with water, and Anthony Tsang is combined with water.
Fire in the afternoon, fire in the afternoon
The semi-triad theory of earthly branches and the triad theory of earthly branches are the same, but because they are not integrated, their power is less than the triad theory.
Nine, the ground branch
Ugly children haunt the earth.

Earthly branches are also mutual changes between earthly branches. When ugly children get together, they become soil, and the strength of soil support is not as good as that of three-in-one and half-three.
The above is a detailed description of the introduction of four pillars and eight characters, and it is about the sharing of four pillars and eight characters. I read the detailed explanation of the four pillars predicting the ten gods, and hope this will help everyone!
