Column of the sun
From the third year of the Reign of Lu Yin (722 BC) to the present, the days of the mainland's dry branches have never stopped. This is the only longest dating method known to human society so far.
The sun pillar, that is, the stem branch of the lunar calendar is used to represent the day of a person's birth. The dry branch is recorded every sixty days, and due to the difference in size of the month and the leap year, the dry branch needs to find the perpetual calendar.
The sun pillar, in numerology, begins clockwise at night and ends at night, with twelve hours as a day, each of which occupies two hours. The dividing line between day and day is divided by sub-hours, that is, at eleven o'clock in the evening. Before eleven o'clock is the hour of the previous day, and after eleven o'clock it is the hour of the next day. Please pay special attention to this, and do not think that twelve o'clock in the morning is the dividing point of the day.
Timing columns

The usage of the above table and mantra is similar to that of the month of the year. For example, the tiangan at the time of the prophecy sun is xin, that is, the time of the xin 卯.
The four pillars are fate, great luck is luck, fate and luck are combined with the fate of a person's life, and the combination of fate knows the auspicious and the bad luck. The great fortune is arranged by the moon pillar of the four pillars, and there are male and female shun and reverse, and there is also a difference between the number of starting and going.
Big luck row: yang male yin female row, yin male yang female reverse row, general row eight steps. For example, The male born in the year of Gengshu is born in the year of Geng, and the male born in the year of Yang is: Gengchen, Xin Wei, Nongwu, 癸未, 甲申, 乙酉, 丙戌, Ding Hai. The daughter born in the year of Gengshu is a daughter born in the year of Yang, and her great fortune is: Peng Yin, Ding Ugly, Chengzi, Yi Hai, Jia Shu, 癸酉, 壬申, Xin Wei. Ding Younian Jia Chen Yue born male, for the yin year born male, its great luck is: 癸卯, 壬寅, 辛ug, 庚子, 己海, 戊戌, 丁酉, 丙申. Ding Younian Jia Chenyue was born in the year of Yin, and her great fortune was: Yi Mi, Bing Wu, Ding Wei, Peng Shen, Heyou, Gengjiao, Xinhai, and Nongzi.
The stems and branches of the Great Fortune themselves are interconnected, and the five elements of the stems and branches are mutually or identical, all of which increase their good fortune or their bad luck. If the upper dry gram lower branch, the upper dry gas is lost. The upper stem gives birth to the lower branch, and the upper dry gas is discharged. The lower branch is dry, and the qi of the upper dry is suppressed. The lower branch is born of the upper stem or the same as the upper stem is the qi of the upper stem. In addition, the great luck and the flow year are like the fifth pillar and the sixth pillar, which not only participate in the comprehensive balance of the four pillars, but also directly divide into ten years and one stage, and the flow of the year is too old to indicate auspiciousness.
