What does Jia Zi mean? What does A stand for?

jiazi is one of the main branches, and the order is the first. The heavenly stems start from Jia, and the earthly branches start from Zi. The heavenly stems and earthy branches are circularly matched, and can be grouped into 6 groups, such as Jia Zi, Yi Chou and Bing Yin, which can be recycled to mark the day or year. Jia Zi's former one is Gui Hai, and the latter one is Yi Chou. On the five elements of yin and yang, the first one of heavenly stems belongs to the wood of yang, and the son of earthly branches belongs to the water of yang, which is an aquatic wood.

Basic information

heavenly stems and earthly branches, with the combination of May and June, constitutes a 6-year climate change cycle. The first 3 years, including 72 solar terms, are a period, and the last 3 years are also 72 solar terms. Where there are 1,44 solar terms, 6 years are counted (also called 6 Jiazi): the heavenly stems in Jiazi are mainly the ups and downs of the main five movements, and the earthly branches in Jiazi are mainly the changes of Si Liu Qi, so we can't leave the dry branches.

sixty years is a cycle: as the saying goes, "the sky is divided into six days, the earth is divided into five days, and if the weather is good, the sixth period is a backup, and if the earth is at the end, the five-year-old is a week? The combination of five or six and seven hundred qi is a discipline. Every 3 years old, 1,4 qi, and every 6 years old, it is a week, not too much, and everyone sees it. "

In the following Gregorian calendar years, if the number of years is divided by more than 6, or the number of years is reduced by 3, the remainder of division by 1 is 1, and the remainder of division by 12 is 1. The years from beginning of spring in that year to beginning of spring in the following year are all "Jiazi years".
