Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches

Heavenly stems and earthly branches are traditional Chinese calendar labels. In WeAcuRe, they are presented as cultural vocabulary that helps readers understand chart language, time labels, and source-aware study notes.

What they are

StemsTen recurring labels

Stems are often paired with five-element and yin-yang vocabulary in traditional study.

BranchesTwelve time labels

Branches are used in calendar cycles, hour labels, month labels, and chart language.

Chart useReadable study terms

WeAcuRe turns these labels into short glossary notes rather than personal claims.

How WeAcuRe uses them

The study chart shows stems and branches as part of the birth date labels. The current prototype keeps the explanation narrow: cultural terms, rewritten notes, and source status.

Source boundary

Classical references can be added only after edition, OCR, punctuation, and copyright review. Until then, public pages use rewritten study notes and avoid copied source text.
