60 Years of RecitationThe following are a few ways to recite the 60-year cycle:
1. ** Group memorization method **: Sixty sixty years are divided into six groups. The beginning of each group is "Jiazi, Jiaxu, Jiashen, Jiawu, Jiachen, Jiayin". A is the beginning of the ten heavenly stems, and Zi is the beginning of the twelve earthly branches. This is the beginning of the first group. Remember, after the beginning of the first group, the beginning of the second group,"Jiaxu", is the beginning of the first group. The "Zi" in the beginning of the first group,"Jiazi", goes back two to get "Xu". The beginning of the third group,"Jiashen", is "Xu", and then goes back two to get "Shen". The following three groups are the same.
2. [Remembering the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches with the help of the incantation: The Heavenly Stems can be remembered by the words "A and B Wood in the East, Bing and Ding Fire in the South, Geng and Xin Metal in the West, Ren and Gui Water in the North, and Wuji Earth in the Center".] The 12 Earthly Branches could be memorized by singing the incantation "Zi Shu, Chou Niu, Yin Hu, Mao Rabbit, Chen Long, Si She, Wu Ma, Wei Yang, Ennea Monkey, You Chicken, Xu Dog, Hai Zhu." After remembering the Ten Heavenly Stems and the 12 Earthly Branches, it would help to memorize 60 Jiazi.
3. ** Remnant Method with Memory **: Knowing a person's birth year (with the beginning of spring as the dividing line), divide the year by 10 and 12 respectively, and the remainder corresponds to the heavenly stems and earthly branches. The ten heavenly stems A, B, C, D, E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui corresponded to the numbers 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, 1, 2, and 3 respectively, while the twelve earthly branches, Chou Yin, Mao Chen, Si Wu, Wei Shen, You Xu Hai, corresponded to the numbers 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, and 3 respectively. For example, in the year 2023, the mantissa 3 corresponded to Gui (Heavenly Stems), and the remainder of 2023 divided by 12 corresponded to Mao (Earthly Branches), which was the year of Guimao. We can also use the Jiazi years that are closer to us (such as 1984) to calculate according to the law. 1984 is the Jiazi year, 12 years later, 1996 is the Bingzi year, etc. According to the order of the five elements (A, C, Wu, Geng, Ren correspond to wood, fire, earth, metal, water) and the law of the earthly branches, we can infer the corresponding 60 Jiazi years of other years.
4. ** Nayin Five Elements Diagram Division Method **: First, divide the Ganzhi and Five Elements into the Ganzhi Table and Nayin Five Elements Table respectively. Then, divide them into the Tiangan Table, Dizhi Table, Nayin Table, and Five Elements Table. Remember each table separately (including positive order, reverse order, etc.) and then integrate them into memory. For example, Jin Zhengxu's preface: sea, foil, vinegar, sand, sword, hairpin; Jin reversed preface: hairpin, sword, sand, vinegar, foil, sea, etc. Then, he integrated his memories such as "Jia Chou Sea, Jia Hai Mountain Head, Jia You Spring, Jia Wei Sand, Jia Si Buddha, Jia Mao Creek", corresponding to "Jia Zi Yi Chou Sea Gold, Jia Xu Yi Hai Mountain Head Fire, Jia Shen Yi You Well Spring Water, Jia Chen Yi Wei Sand Gold, Jia Wu Yi Wei Buddha Light, Jia Yin Yi Mao Big Stream" and so on.
5. ** Memory Rule Method **: Use the method of remembering once and remembering ten times to memorize each table separately (such as positive order, reverse order, various sub-orders, etc.).
