Heavenly stems and earthly branches is called "dry branch" for short, and the meaning of "dry branch" in Ci Yuan is taken from the "dry branch" of trees, that is, trunk and branches. Heavenly stems and earthly branches, also called 10 stem 12 branch, is a timing method invented by China in ancient times.
The "heaven" of heavenly dryness is heaven, and dryness is the Lord. Usually, the order is represented by ten symbols: A, B, C, D, E, Self, G, Xin, Man and Ghost. When sixty branches are formed, these ten symbols are written on or in front of them, so these ten symbols are always called ten-day branches. The "ground" of the earthly branch is indicated below, and the earthly branch is indicated as the slave. The symbol 12 is usually used to indicate the order of earthly branches, namely, Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Noon, Hidden, Unitary, Xu and Hai, which are collectively called the Twelve Earthly Branches.
