阴阳、五行和十二地支均为汉族传统文化。汉文、粟特文和回鹘文文献的记载也表明,“阴阳·五行·十二兽(地支)相配纪年法”为汉族道家所创,是汉族僧侣所习用的纪年形式。如若根据创制者和最初的使用者命名,可称之为“汉族僧侣纪年法”,而不宜称作“吐蕃纪年法”。 Yin and Yang, five elements and twelve are Han traditional culture. The records of Chinese, Sogdian and Huiwen also show that the “Yin-yang · Five Elements · Twelve Beasts (Earthly Branches) Method of Completing the Chronology” was created by the Han Taoists and is a form of chronicle used by Han monks. If according to creator and initial user name, can be called “Han monks Year of Chronicles,” and should not be called “Tubo Chronology.”
