Abstract:
The Heavenly Stems and the Earthly Branches can be used to pair in a definite order and combine in a cycle of sixty years. Based on the theorem of a cycle of sixty years, we elaborated its changing rule, and put forward the ranks to locate every sixtyyear. We also organized the sixtyyear, the ranks and the numbers together to make a new calender based on the Heavenly Stems and the Earthly Branches.
