ABSTRACT
The Full Number is 50, of which 49 are used. Dividing them into two handfuls represents duality (heaven and earth). Setting one aside completes the triad (heaven, earth and man).
Counting by fours represents the four seasons. Discarding the remainder between the fmgers represents
leap months. Since there are two leap months in every five years, a second remainder is also discarded between the fingers.
