¹Note: Since the use of the gan-zhi system as calendar dates began in the 3rd century BC. e., then translating older dates has no practical meaning.

Conversion between gan zhi and decimal systems

Let’s assign a number X to each celestial trunk in accordance with the table:

Heavenly trunks
X1234567890

For each earthly branch we compare the number Y according to the table:

Earthly branches
Y12345678910110

To convert a decimal number N in the range from 1 to 59 into the ganzhi system, take X as the remainder of dividing the number N by 10 (that is, the number of units in the number N). For Y we take the remainder of dividing the number N by 12. From the table we get the corresponding pair of characters of the gan-zhi system.

To convert a pair of characters of the gan-zhi system except 癸亥 into the decimal system, from the table we determine a pair of numbers X and Y. We need to determine the number of tens N and the number of units M of the desired decimal number Z. For M we take the already found number X. For N we take the number (XY)/2 if it is non-negative, or 6+(XY)/2 otherwise.

It remains to remember that the number 60 in the gan-zhi system corresponds to the pair 癸亥.

Example

To convert the number 59 to the gan-zhi system, we find that the number X is 9, and according to the first table, the first character of the desired pair is 壬. The number Y as the remainder of dividing 59 by 12 is equal to 11, and according to the second table, the second symbol of the desired pair is 戌. Thus, we find that the number 59 in the gan-zhi system corresponds to a pair of characters 壬戌.

To reversely convert a pair of ganzhi characters 壬戌 into the decimal system, using the first table we find X equals 9, and according to the second table Y equals 11. Then the number M for the desired decimal number will be equal to 9, and the number N=6+(9-11)/ 2=5. We find that the desired decimal number Z is 59.
