Ganzhi and Jishi (2)

"Shangshu Justice" explained:

"Both of them are the ministers of the Huangdi. Since the Chinese emperor, they have used Jiazi Day, every 60 days and one week." It seems that the branches are made of large radial innovation. The big scratching "the five elements of the five elements, occupying the fighters built, began to make A and B as the name of the day, which is called the stem; On the day, if there is something in the place, the moon is used, and the yin and yang are different, so there are branches. "

The "Five Elements Righteousness" in the Sui Dynasty also recorded that the dry branch was created, indicating that the dry branch was originally used to remember the name of the sun and the moon, which is related to the five elements, yin and yang, and fighting construction.

In the past century, the oracle bones unearthed in Yin Ruins have contained a large number of stem records used for Ji Ri, and the most frequent words in Oracle are also dry branches.

From the discovery of the Shang Dynasty Oracle, most of the content is related to divination, which is the "oracle bone rhetoric" we often say, but the rhetoric is not the whole of Oracle content. In addition Content is also a very important type of rhetoric that has nothing to do with divination.

For example, the "dry branch" is engraved.

The "dry branch table" is a special carrier in the Oracle text, which belongs to the schedule engraving.

This kind of rhetoric is written with ten days:

A, B, C, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui

Twelve ground branches:

Zi, Ugly, Yin, 丑, Chen, 巳, Wu, Wei, Shen, Shi, 戌, Hai

The scholars who are composed of sixty stem branches are also called nail tables.

This kind of nail watch is listed to write the sixty stem branches of the "dry table" of the sixty stem branch, which was the spectrum of people used to verify and calculate the cadre branches.

Although the Shang Dynasty adopted the method of stem and branch days, we could not fully understand the Sanxian Ji Day of the Shang Dynasty due to the lack of materials.

Some information confirmed that Ji Jianzhi, which can be confirmed, started in February of Lu Yingong (AD 720) from Spring and Autumn Period. From then on to the end of the Qing Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Sanshi Ji Day has never stopped and and has never stopped. Troubled, this is also the longest record time in the world, which has an important reference value for the accurate time of the historical facts.

For example, in the ancient text "Shi Zhongshan Ji", "Yuanfeng Seven Years June Ding Chou", that is, June 9th of the lunar calendar;
