There is a formula for calculating heavenly stems and earthly branches's age, that is, "the sky is dry to see the mantissa, and the earth branch is divided by 12 to see the remainder." I drew a table of heavenly stems and earthly branches's nicknames and years, which is figure 1 and figure 2.
For example, to calculate the heavenly stems and earthly branches in 2022, refer to the formula, the mantissa is 0, and compare with Figure 2, the heavenly stems are Geng; 2022 is divided by 12, and the remainder is 4. Compare with Figure 2, the earthly branch is a child. Therefore, 2022 is the year of the rat and the year of the boxer. Another example is heavenly stems and earthly branches in 2022, and the mantissa is 1. Compared with Figure 2, the sky is dry; Divide 2022 by 12, and the remainder is 5. Compared with Figure 2, the earthly branches are ugly, so 2022 is the year of happiness and ugliness, and the zodiac is a cow. Calculate the remaining years and so on.
