What do you mean by Yin Si Shenhai?

Yin Si Shenhai refers to four of the twelve earthly branches, corresponding to Yin Shi from five in the morning to ugly, Shi Si from eleven at noon to untimely, Shenhai from three in the afternoon to youshi, and Shihai from nine in the evening. In the traditional culture of China, the sacred sea of Yin Si is often used in fortune-telling and forecasting methods such as the lunar calendar and the five elements, which can help people grasp the information of time and orientation and guide daily life and agricultural production.

In the Five Elements Theory, Yin Shi belongs to wood, Shi Si to fire, Shenshi to gold and Shihai to water. These four earthly branches correspond to the different attributes of the five elements, which can be used to analyze people's fortune and ways of doing things in different periods, and at the same time, they can also predict and judge good and bad things, which are deeply believed and sought after by many people.

In addition to China's cultural traditions, other East Asian countries, such as Japan, South Korea and Viet Nam, have similar ways of use. Besides, in South Asian cultures such as Indian and Nepalese, Shen Yinhai is also used as a symbol of the zodiac and heavenly stems, which is different from China's cultural tradition. Different cultural customs have different connotations and meanings in different regions, but they all reflect people's cognition and thinking about time and the order of the universe.
