Yuan Ri explainedIn ancient times, the first day of the first lunar month was the Spring Festival. In modern times, after the Gregorian calendar was used, the first day of the first month of the Gregorian calendar was set as New Year's Day, and the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar was set as the Spring Festival.
The Method of Ji Ri and the Method of Ji Ri in the Early Western Zhou DynastyThe Day Record Method was a method used by the ancients to record time. The common methods of day discipline included:
- [Method of Counting the Days of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches]: It was probably created during the Shang Dynasty. From the Spring and Autumn Period onwards, it became the traditional method for historians to record the days. The stem was the heavenly stem (A, B, C, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui), and the branch was the earthly branch (Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai). The ten stems and twelve branches were combined into sixty units in turn, called sixty Jiazi, and each unit represented a day. Assuming that one day is Jiazi Day, then the days after Jiazi are successively pushed to Yichou, Bingyin, etc. The days before Jiazi are pushed back to Guihai, Renxu, etc., and 60 Jiazi cycles. The ancients sometimes only remembered the heavenly stems and not the earthly branches. Compared with the earthly branches, most of them were limited to specific days.
- ** Ordinal number method **: Directly use numbers to represent the date, such as "25th" in "Plum Blossom Ridge" and "1911 March 29th" in "Preface to the Seventy-Two Martyrs of Huang Huagang".
- The first day of each month is called New Moon, the third day is called Sun, the fifteenth day of the small month and the sixteenth day of the big month are called Wang, the day immediately after Wang is called Jiwang, and the last day of each month is called Hui.
- ** Gan Zhi and Moon Phase Usage **: Gan Zhi is placed in front of the moon phase, such as "Wu Shen Hui" in "The Record of Climbing Mount Tai."
In the early Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a special method of counting the days, which divided a month into four parts, similar to the modern Zhou (week). Each part had a specific name, and "Jiwang" was one of them. However, this method of counting the days was not used later.
