The Judgment Rule of "Eight Characters"

Fast calculation of trunk and branch

In the past, the most convenient way to know a certain day in heavenly stems and earthly branches was to bring a perpetual calendar. But sometimes different versions of the calendar are different in heavenly stems and earthly branches. In history, there have also been controversial cases in which the eight characters were arranged in comparison with the perpetual calendar because of different versions, such as the legend of the blind king who changed altars during the Republic of China. If you don't have a perpetual calendar, you have to learn the popular "shooting at the stars and catching the moon" for the blind. Although this method is good and accurate, it is not easy to recite so many formulas, especially for us studious students. The teacher told us not to memorize, but to learn to understand and comprehend. How much can you recite in Lin Yi's life?

I occasionally got a secret recipe, which introduced how to use a formula to calculate heavenly stems and earthly branches on any day. In less than a minute or two, I can calculate the heavenly stems and earthly branches of any day from 1900 to 2 100, and it is very accurate, which is many times more convenient than the meteor moon-catching method. As an easy-soul student, I dare not take it for myself, so I want to share it with the majority of students, and I hope some students can get twice the result with half the effort through the platform of easy-soul website.

1:1900-2100 annual trunk line = annual mantissa -3

Example: 1969 dry = 9-3 = 6, dry on the sixth day.

20 12, annual work = 2-3 = 9, and work on the ninth day. (2) If it is insufficient, make up 100% 12)

2: 1900- 1999 annual expenditure = year-end double digits+1.

Annual expenditure from 2000 to 1999 = double digits at the end of the year +5.

Example: the annual branch of 1969 =69+ 1=70, the multiple of 60 is 10, and the tenth branch of the earth is unitary.

Annual expenditure is 20 12 =12+5 =17, excluding12, and the fifth place is Chen.

Then the main branch in 1969 is unitary, and the main branch in 20 12 is non-Chen.

3. The monthly dry formula, the monthly branch is fixed, for example, at the beginning of the first month, only the monthly dry is calculated.

Monthly work = annual work *2+ months

For example, in August (unitary month) of 1969, Tiangan =6*2+8=20. If the cycle of the heavenly stems is 10, remove 10, and the tenth place of the heavenly stems is decyl, then this month's heavenly stems are decyl.

4. Daily expenditure formula:

1900- 1999 daily trunk base = (year-end double digits +3)*5+55+ (year-end double digits-1)/4.

Branch base of 2000- 1999 = (year-end double digits +7)*5+ 15+ (year-end double digits+19)/4. Just use quotient, no remainder, and if you count above 60, you will get rid of 60.

For example: June 2008, 65438+ 10, and 65438+August:

Daily branch base = (8+7) * 5+15+(8+19)/4 = 36 (multiple of 60 has been removed). This number is the branch number of 65438+ 10 month 1

From 65438+1 October1to 65438+1October 5, the number after 60 is 36+31(65438+1October and so on)+29+3/kloc.

Then the multiple of 10 is symplectic, and the multiple of 12 is symplectic. Today's main branch is Xinmao.

5: Time-stem formula = daily stem number *2+ daily branch number -2, push it yourself, so that you can arrange four columns on any day.

6. There is another method, called backward age method, which can calculate the trunk branches of any age from this year's trunk branches, but can only calculate that the annual trunk branches cannot be derived from the daily trunk branches, that is, remove the age based on 60, remove the multiple of 10 as the backward days, and remove the multiple of 12 as the backward branch number. For example, this year is the main branch of Wuzi's 40th birthday: at the age of 40, you can push back 10 from Wuzi, and 40 to 36 Wuzi can push back 4 as your birthday. Born at the age of 62, the second place is Ding, who has been doing five things this year, and the second place is Hai, who is a local branch this year.

From now on, you don't have to turn over the almanac every day. You know heavenly stems and earthly branches every day, but people thought you had such a good memory. You should save some time and be more enlightened.
