The unit of calculation used by the Chinese for this cycle is 60. China has a special way of keeping time. The Chinese use 10 Chinese characters to represent the heavenly stems and 12 Chinese characters to represent the earthly branches. After combining the Chinese characters of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, 60 sets of non-repeating Chinese words and phrases are created. Chinese people mark time based on these 60 sets of Chinese words and phrases. The Chinese believe that 60 years is (Yi Jiazi) and (Yi Jiazi) is a proper noun meaning 60 years. The Chinese divide each year into 60 equal parts, each month into 60 equal parts and each day into 60 equal parts. The Chinese use this set of records to record each important specific point in Chinese history. The Chinese also use this set of records to record a person's date of birth. Each person is given a total of eight Chinese characters for the year, month, day and hour of birth. Chinese people who are good at fortune-telling can interpret a person's destiny based on these eight Chinese characters. (Additional note: The Chinese divide a day into 12 equal parts, not the current 24 equal parts. The division methods of these 12 equal parts are 1-3, 3-5, 5-7, 7-9, 9-11, 11-13, 13-15, 15-17, 17-19, 19-21, 21-23, 23-1). This method of keeping time used by the Chinese was developed and matured during the Shang dynasty from the 17th to 11th century BC and has clear historical records. This method of keeping time has been used continuously from the 11th century BC to modern times. In this special way of keeping time, the Chinese correspond to an animal for each of the 12 Chinese characters that represent the earthly branches. Each of these 12 animals has its own unique characteristics. These 12 animals are the well-known 12 Chinese zodiac signs. This set of products is based on the 12 Chinese Zodiac animals.
