Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The ten Celestial or Heavenly Stems (pinyin: tiāngān) are the elements of an ancient Chinese cyclic character numeral system: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui. They were used for dates as early as the Shang Dynasty, and are now used with the twelve Earthly Branches in the Sexagenary cycle. They are associated with the concepts of yin and yang and the Five Elements. The Shang people believed that there were ten suns, each of which appeared in order in a ten-day cycle (xún). The Heavenly Stems were the names of the ten suns, which may have designated world ages as did the Five Suns and the Six Ages of the World of Saint Augustine. They were found in the given names of the kings of the Shang. Some historians think the ruling class of the Shang had ten clans, but it is not clear whether their society reflected the myth or vice versa. The associations with Yin-Yang and the Five Elements developed later, after the collapse of the Shang Dynasty.
