According to etymology, the meaning of "trunk" is taken from the "trunk" of trees.

Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Wu, Shen, You. Also known as the Twelve Branches. In ancient China, twelve places were used to mark the time and the moon. Geochronology is to divide a day into 12 time periods, which are represented by twelve geochronologies, that is, the current time is 23 ~ 1, the ugly time is 1 ~ 3, and so on, which is called twelve hours. Lunar calendar means that the month where the winter solstice is located is the next month, the next month is the ugly month, and so on. The land is dominated by ten days, forming Jia Zi, ugly career ... Guihai, which is used to record the year, month and day with a cycle of 60.

Twelve earthly branches: Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai.

Mr. nan huaijin said in Miscellaneous Notes on the Book of Changes: "The cooperation between the five elements and the heavenly stems contains many things, and then it is different with the earthly branches. There are twelve branches: Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai. Some people write "ground branch" to indicate that the trunk is bifurcated, but it is actually a "branch" and a supporting branch. The role of the earth itself, that is, the role of the moon and the earth in the solar system, and the relationship between solar terms will be introduced in detail later.

First of all, there were two major medical schools in ancient China. The way to preserve one's health is to emphasize one's stomach and one's kidney. Most of all diseases come from the stomach, but in my experience, doctors in the south attach importance to the stomach, especially the elderly, and doctors in the north attach importance to the kidney. Young people should also pay attention to the maintenance of kidneys. Young people have kidney deficiency, and after middle age, symptoms come. The more open sex education is, the more diseases young people get. The reason is kidney deficiency, so you must take good care of yourself.

With regard to earthly branches, if we only study the academic thoughts and principles of Zhouyi, it is unnecessary to study the five elements and the main branches. To understand the gossip relationship in the Book of Changes used by China for thousands of years in astronomy and geography, we must first understand the five elements. A science professor wrote to ask some questions abroad, because there was a book recently published abroad, which believed that there was a hole in the south pole of the earth, there was another world in the hole, there were people, and flying saucers also came from the center of the earth. These are all questions related to the Book of Changes. I wrote back and told him that it was not surprising. China people have long said that the earth is active. As for whether there are humans in the center of the earth, that is another story. Taoism said thousands of years ago that the north and south poles in the middle of the earth are connected, and all parts of the earth are connected. These words are proved by books, but all of us didn't notice them. It is also said that there is a hole behind the Huangdi Mausoleum, which can lead to Nanjing. However, there is another school in the west that says that all human beings are from outer space. This statement also existed in ancient China, and so did Taoism. It is said that the ancient Panwang also fell from the sky, and so did Buddhism. These Taoist sayings can be found in the Taoist scriptures.

The above story is to show that the five elements thought is absolutely related to primitive astronomy and geophysics, and it was only used in divination and fortune telling, just because our past culture did not develop scientifically.

I have introduced Tiangan before, and now I will introduce Dizhi. The earthly branches mentioned above are twelve earthly branches: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai. What is the earthly branch? In our present concept, the earth itself is running in the solar system and interfering with each other. There is a kind of power supporting it invisibly, which is called the earth branch.

We know that there are ten days of dryness, which are the two poles of the five elements, that is, the changes of yin and yang of the five elements. The six branches are twelve branches formed by the change of yin and yang. As for the origin of these names, they have little to do with the Book of Changes, and they are another theoretical system in China's traditional culture, as mentioned earlier. As for the definition of each word, there are many explanations. Which explanation is completely correct, it is difficult to draw a conclusion: being obedient is a phenomenon that all things happen. Ugliness means hub, and so on, each has its own explanation, so we won't discuss it for the time being. In addition, from the perspective of military philosophy, we can see the top ten heavenly stems of A, B, C, D, E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren and Gui in the history of China's cultural development, and some people interpret them as the representatives of the top ten ancient weapons, such as A is a sharp weapon on a wooden pole and B is a knife. There is no conclusion as to which statement is correct.

Dizhi yin and yang

1, Zi, Yin, Chen, Wu, Shen and Xu are Yang, and Ugly, Mao, Si, Wei, You and Hai are Yin. This divides yin and yang according to parity.

2. Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Noon, Weiyang, Shen, You, Xu, Hai, Zi and Ugliness are Yin. The four seasons are divided into yin and yang, with spring and summer as yang and autumn and winter as yin.

Twelve branches and five elements

Pubic hair belongs to wood, yin is yang, and hair is yin.

Noon is fire, noon is yang fire, and noon is yin fire.

Belonging to gold, Shen is yang gold, especially yin gold.

It belongs to water, the child belongs to yang, and the sea belongs to yin.

Chen Xu's ugliness is not soil, Chen Xu is positive soil, and ugliness is not negative soil. It is either dry or wet. Dry soil hides fire, wet soil hides water.

Twelve kinds of Tibetan trunks: Zigui, Ugly Guixin, Yina -P-E, Mao -B, Chen -E-E- Gui, Si -P-E-G, Wu -D-G, Wei-Ding-Yi, Shen -G-G, You-Xin and Xu -E-G.

Twelve-branch four-time orientation

Oriental wood in Yin Mao has been destroyed by the afternoon fire in the south, the gold in the west in Shen You and the water in the north in Haizi.

Shaoyang is seen in yin, stronger than hair and weaker than Chen. Chen belongs to wood, and the spring belongs to the east.

The sun is seen in the afternoon, stronger than noon and weaker than before. It's noon and Si Xia is in the south.

Less yin is seen in Shen, stronger than unitary and weaker than Xu. Belongs to gold, belongs to the west.

Seeing the sea in the Moon is stronger than the child and weaker than the ugly. Haizi ugly belongs to water, which is winter and north.

Build 12 branches every month.

Build Yin in the first month, Mao in February, Chen in March, Si in April, Wu in May, Shen in June, You in August, Xu in September, Hai in October, Zi in November and Ugliness in December. The month was established on the basis of the twelve solar terms, that is, after beginning of spring, Yin Mu was in power, after the fright, he held the order, and after Qingming, Chen was on duty, so I imitated this.

Twelve dominates twelve hours.

23- 1 is hour, 1-3 is ugly hour, 3-5 is Yin Shi hour, 5-7 is Shi Mao hour, 7-9 is Chen Shi hour, 9- 1 1 is the fourth hour,1/kloc-0. 15- 17 is the application time, 17- 19 is the unitary time, 19-2 1 is the time, and 2 1-23 is the time.

Twelve major constellations

Rats, ugly cows, silver tigers, hairy rabbits, dragons, snakes, afternoon horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs.

Twelve dominate the human body.

Twelve dominate the body: the child is the ear, the ugly is the abdomen, the yin is the hand, the base is the finger, the morning is the shoulder and chest, the face and teeth are swallowed up, the eye is noon, the spine is not, the Shen is the meridian, the unitary is the blood essence, and the mouth, legs and feet are the head.

Twelve zang-fu organs: Yin is gallbladder, hair is liver, always heart, small intestine in the afternoon, stomach in the morning, ugliness is not spleen, Shen is large intestine, unitary lung, sea is kidney and pericardium, and son is bladder and triple energizer.

Ground branching compound

The land branch Liuhe: ugly son melts the soil, Yin Hai melts the water, Mao Yi melts the fire, Chen You melts the gold, the water has been applied, and the noon is not closed, melting the fire soil.

Compatibility means cooperation, combination and reconciliation. When a person is born-in the four-pillar branch, seeing one or two groups above is consistent. Harmony is divided into life and harmony, and life and harmony are: harmony, water and shade; Chen You and, Chen Tusheng, Eugene; The noon is not closed, and the noon fire is not born. There is a combination of gram, ugly son, ugly soil and water; ; There is a "together, there is a fire." This is the right combination. There are also reasons for resisting grams, such as water is ugly and ugly; The soil is rich and weak, and it is soil; Shen is both a weakness and a gold.

The degree of integration depends on the rise and fall of the deity. The more prosperous the deity is, the greater the degree of integration. The weaker the deification, the smaller the degree of integration.

People who live a happy life are lucky and have good interpersonal relationships. They dare not even think about it until they find it. Those who escape from the combination of fate, those who suffer the main disaster and have bad interpersonal relationships will not find bad things on their own, and they can't push them away if they want to.

Three-in-one land support bureau

Shen's chemical bureau, Haimao's unfinished wood bureau, new chemical bureau, and ugly bureau.

The three-in-one game is a game of life, prosperity and grave. Aquatic in Shen, Xing in Zi, Tomb in Chen, so Shen entered the Water Bureau. Wood was born in Hai, flourished in Mao, and the tomb was in Wei, so Hai Mao was not in the Wood Bureau. Fire was born in the shade, flourished in the afternoon, and the tomb was in the afternoon, so the fire bureau was in the afternoon. Jin Changsheng ranks third, Chang is unitary, and the tomb is ugly, so the alloy bureau is the third ugliest.

Wang Sheng Semi-joint Bureau: Shenzi Semi-joint Water Affairs Bureau, Haimei Ao Semi-joint Wood Bureau, Yin Wu Semi-joint Fire Bureau and Youyou Semi-joint Gold Bureau. Sheng Wang's half game is second only to three games.

Wang Mu Semi-closed Bureau: Anthony Tsang Semi-closed Water Affairs Bureau, Mao Wei Semi-closed Wood Bureau, Wuxu Semi-closed Fire Bureau and Youzhou Semi-alloy Bureau. The game of semi-closed tomb is not as powerful as the game of semi-closed tomb.

Half-closed Bureau of Tomb: Haiwei Cemetery Bureau, Chenshen Public Taxation Bureau, Ugly Gong Jin Bureau and Yinxu Public Fire Bureau. The tomb is semi-closed, and its strength is minimal.

Three-in-one bureau turns wealth into wealth, and those who like to use it are conducive to career management, wealth, wealth, wealth, wealth. People who are jealous of wealth are often tired of wealth and their wives and women. The chief culprits of disasters are also wealth and women, who have been working hard all their lives.

The three-in-one game makes the official prosperous, and the official likes to use it, which will benefit the official career, benefit others and make the official career prosperous. If officials are jealous of the enemy, those who have official power are often trapped by fame and power; Ordinary people, all their lives, are too many officials to talk about, timid and weak, and have constant diseases.

Sanheju turned printing into a printing prosperity, with printing as a user, focusing on literature, learning culture and learning; For those who are jealous of the enemy, there are many backers without backers, and it is difficult to stand on their own feet.

Earth branch collision.

Woods Chong, Ugly Buchong, Shen Yinchong, You Mao Chong, Chen Xuchong, Hayes Chong.

The earth branches collide with each other, which is an azimuth hedge. Zishui is in the north, noon fire is in the south, Ugly Yin lives in the northeast, not in the southwest, Mao lives in the east, especially in the west, in the southeast, and Xu Hai lives in the northwest. They are all relative positions, so hedge. Colliding with each other means colliding with each other and resisting each other. Four pillars meet the year, or four pillars meet the year, which is divided into good luck and bad luck. It's good to avoid and hate God, but it's good to treat God as evil. Judging from the phenomenon of things, good things are auspicious and happy, and bad things are troublesome and fierce.

Six reds, five elements. In addition to azimuth collision, the trunk hidden in its branch also means collision. In the meridian, the child water is like a noon fire, and the earth water has been in the middle. Ugliness is not washed away, Jin Xin is ugly, water is better than ethyl wood and Ding Huo is absent, and Ding Huo is also ugly than water and Jin Xin. Shen Yinchong, the fire of C in the yin can overcome Geng Jin, and the heavy water can also overcome C fire. Mao Youchong, Xin Zaiyou and Jin Kemao. Hayes rushed, Hayes' black soil is like the water in the sea, and Jia Mu and the water in the sea are also like Hayes' black soil and fire. Chong in Chen Xu, Guishui in Chen Xu, Ding Huo in Chen Xu, Jin Xin, Chen Ke and Mu Yi in Xu Xu.

Branches hidden in the middle, dry attack in the middle, who wins and who loses, depends on the strength of the five elements of both sides. The strong win and the weak lose. Losing is also called getting hurt. Any injured person with four-column trunk branches (including trunk branches hidden in branches) and five elements damaged has some weaknesses or injuries in his natural attributes (such as body). The quality of social attributes mainly depends on the benefits of liking the loss and avoiding the loss.

There is a distance between them and they are close to each other. For example, the closer the distance between year and month, month and day, and day and hour, the greater the impulse. The collision of columns, such as year, month and month, is the second closest and the second strongest; Long-range shocks are like years and hours. The farther the distance, the smaller the impulse. The distance is closer, and the momentum is greater. The distance is far, the impulse is small, and the good luck is fierce.

Hit every rush and be more active, including changing (occupation, residence) and walking. A woman's life is fragile.

Mutual punishment between earthly branches

It is ungrateful to punish a punished person, a punished person and a punished person.

Ugliness is not punished, ugliness is not punished, and punishment is not punished, which is the punishment of leaning on the situation.

It is impolite to punish children with bullets or bullets.

In the afternoon, Youhai committed suicide.

Punishment is also active, which is a criminal act, and the range is generally small and blunt. Natural disasters mainly rely on punishment to injure the five elements. The quality of social attributes mainly depends on the gains and losses of liking and avoiding the enemy. In ancient times, there was a saying that punishment was the main cause of unjust, false and wrong cases against officials. There is a certain fact. Many people with four pillars have been suffering from injuries and official grievances all their lives. But not really. Some people have little or no injuries in their lives, and there is no official accusation. Therefore, all students should be restrained, combined with punishment and injury, and treated in two ways according to the specific situation. Punishing each other has both good luck and bad luck.

Ganyu

Children do not harm each other, ugliness harms each other in the afternoon, yin harms each other, hair harms each other, application harms each other, and unitary harms each other.

Mutual harm is also mutual resistance, and mutual harm is good and bad. Look at the five elements of injury, look at the gains and losses.
