FAQ

How are these days worked out?

Tenshanichi and Ichiryu Manbaibi pair the solar-term month with the day's stem and branch; Tiger and Snake days come every twelve days by the day's branch; Taian follows the six-day rokuyo cycle from the lunar date. These are Japanese calendar notes, separate from Zi Wei Dou Shu.
