The day of the new moon is seen in the lunar system, as the first day of the month. The time it is between two New Moons is the length of a lunar month, whose name derives from the solar system.
Based on the Solar Calendar note that the year is separated into 12 months as 24 segments marked by the location of the sun in the zodiac, in a similar fashion to the western astrology. These segments are appointed in connection with the agricultural calendar. Thus Center appointed by half a month solar divided into two segments.
The name of the lunar month derived from the name of the Center for the month containing solar. Call months bisinódico a lunar month that does not contain the Center for a few months plot. A month bisinódico have the same name as its predecessor.
The days that are located between each segment of its initial start up the solar duration of one month. The solar system no leap months.

The system used to describe the time periods applicable two systems together: the system Branches Terrestrial (地支dìzhī) consisting of a cycle of 12 periods, and the logs Celestial (天干tiāngān) consisting of a cycle of 10 periods. This system comes from the evolution of the cosmos and its interpretation as cyclical, which distinguish different energy states. It is used in Feng Shui, as well as the Traditional Chinese Medicine. It seems that the names of animals being used by this system form part of the apparatus of years around the year 164 BC And for months by the year 206 BC, the period between the Chin and Han dynasties.

We emphasize that the system logs and branches producing a period of 60 years (干支gānzhī), and each of these periods shaped an era. In turn each era is governed by guidelines established power. The 3 Eras are broken into 9 cycles of 20 years. Thus, in 180 years there are 3 periods of 60 years, corresponding to the 3 Eras, and 9 cycles of 20 years for the 9 cycles.
