Cycle Rules
Heavenly Stem Cycle (10-day period)
The Ten Heavenly Stems cycle in the order Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui, repeating every 10 days. In the Sixty Jiazi, each Heavenly Stem appears 6 times.
Earthly Branch Cycle (12-year period)
The Twelve Earthly Branches cycle in the order Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai, repeating every 12 years. In the Sixty Jiazi, each Earthly Branch appears 5 times.
Least Common Multiple Principle
The least common multiple of 10 and 12 is 60, so the combinations of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches repeat every 60 years, forming the cyclical pattern of Sixty Jiazi. This cycle is widely used in traditional calendar systems for years, months, days, and hours.
