Overview

The "Book of Latitude" (banned and scattered by Emperor Yang of Sui of the Sui Dynasty and popular in China from Pre-Han to the Later Han Dynasty, Miyoshi Kiyotsura In the "Revolutionary Chinese Literature" by Gunsho Ruiju, Lost literary work of "Yi latitude" and "Shi latitude" only remain), it is written that the zodiac signs of the rooster and the ginseng (庚申) are both of the golden gender, and that the ginseng is of the negative energy, so the Chinese character for ginseng is also of the negative energy, and that the Chinese character for rooster is of the negative energy, so the Chinese character for rooster is of the negative energy. It was believed that people's hearts were more likely to be ruthless. The year of the rooster is the year of the Revolution, when the Dynasty changes and the Mandate of Heaven changes. The Japanese custom of changing the year of the rooster in the year of the rooster began in the year of the rooster in the fourth year of the Heian era (901), when the name of the emperor was changed to Enki, in order to prevent political changes from taking place. In many cases, the change of the year was carried out two years in a row with the previous year, the year of the 57th sexagenary cycle. This continued until the Meiji era. However, there is no such example in China.


Michiyo Naka, a scholar in the Meiji era, wrote about the reigning age of Emperor Jimmu in the Zheng Xuan note in the "Revolutionary Kanbun". Once in 1260 (60 years (1 yuan) around the zodiac x 21 yuan = 1260 years = It is said that there will be a great revolution in the year of Yin Metal Rooster (1 蔀), and Empress Suiko 9 years ( 601) corresponds to that year, which is 1260 years ago. In 660 BC, he argued that Emperor Jimmu reigned.

In addition, since Zheng Xuan's note in the "Revolutionary Notes" describes the year as 1320, there is a theory that the cycle is 60 years x 22 times = 1320 years. In this case, the year Kouzi, three years after Xinyu, is the year of the Leather Decree (Kouzi Leather Decree), and the year 664 (Kouzi), the year following Battle of Baekgang is the starting point, which is 660 B.C.E.
