The so-called chronology of dry branches means that dry branches are literally equivalent to trunks and branches and leaves. In ancient China, the sky was dominant and the earth was subordinate. The connection between the sky and the trunk is called heavenly stems, and the connection between the ground and branches is called earthly branches. Together, it is called heavenly stems and earthly branches, or "dry branch" for short.
The chronology of cadres and branches began in beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, and the chronology of cadres and branches is the calendar chronology of cadres and branches. The same is true of the official almanac (that is, the Yellow Calendar). After the Republic of China, the emperor's year number was abandoned, and the lunar calendar can only record the year with dry branches, which ranges from the first day of the first month to New Year's Eve, which is indisputable. Lunar calendar and trunk calendar are two different calendars, which are different in the starting point of a year, the division rules of months and the number of days in a year. Due to the use of the Gregorian calendar after the Republic of China, many people lack calendar knowledge, so they often confuse the calendar with the lunar calendar.
