About
The character 丙 is the third of the ten Heavenly Stems in the traditional Chinese calendar. Its earliest forms depicted a fishtail or the base of a stand, though its primary modern usage is abstract. It universally denotes the third position in a sequence, much like the letter C in alphabetical ordering. In traditional Chinese philosophy and five elements theory, 丙 is associated with fire and the south. The character also functions in legal documents, contracts, and academic grading to designate the third party or rank.
