Hello everyone, today the editor has paid attention to a more interesting topic, which is the question about the meaning of the earthly branch, so the editor has compiled an answer to introduce the meaning of the earthly branch, let us take a look together Bar. Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches mean? Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches mean? Tiangandizhi, referred to as Ganzhi, originated from the observation of astronomical phenomena in ancient times. In ancient China, Tiangandizhi was mainly used to record the date, and it was also used to record the month, year, and time. The calendar that uses the Ganzhi to record the year, month, day and time is called the Ganzhi calendar. The ten heavenly stems and the twelve earthly branches are the heavenly stems, and the twelve earthly branches are the earthly branches. The combination of heavenly stems and earthly branches is called Ganzhi. Stems and branches are counting and timing symbols that have appeared in ancient times, just like the Arabic numerals we use now. The meaning of ganzhi comes from the "trunk" and "branch" of trees. Dry is the trunk. A branch is a branch, a branch of a tree trunk. That is to say, the Earthly Branches are the branches separated from the Heavenly Stems. There is such a relationship between stems and branches. Ten heavenly stems: Jia (jiǎ), B (yǐ), C (bǐng), Ding (dīng), Wu (wù), Ji (jǐ), Geng (gēng), Xin (xīn), Ren (rén), Gui ( guǐ). Among them, A, C, E, G, and Ren are Yang stems, and B, D, Hexa, Xin, and Gui are shade stems. Twelve Earthly Branches: Zi (zǐ), Chou (chǒu), Yin (yín), Mao (mǎo), Chen (chén), Si (sì), Wu (wǔ), Wei (wèi), Shen (shēn), Unitary (yǒu), Xu (xū), Hai (hài). Among them, Zi, Yin, Chen, Wu, Shen, and Xu are Yang branches, and Chou, Mao, Si, Wei, You, and Hai are Yin branches. At the same time, the twelve earthly branches correspond to the twelve zodiac signs: Zi corresponds to the rat, ugliness corresponds to the ox, Yin corresponds to the tiger, Mao corresponds to the rabbit, Chen corresponds to the dragon, Si corresponds to the snake, Wu corresponds to the horse, not corresponds to the sheep, Shen corresponds to the monkey, and unitary corresponds to the rooster. Xu corresponds to a dog, and Hai corresponds to a pig. So far, the above is the introduction to the question of the meaning of the Earthly Branches by the editor.
