Sometimes when git reflog and try to checkout to a previous commit,
project((6a33dbc...))$ git reflog show master
77aa688 master@{0}: rebase -i (finish): refs/heads/master onto fc3eaa4
6a33dbc master@{1}: commit: wip
.....
project(master)$ git checkout master@{1}
Note: moving to 'master@{1}' which isn't a local branch
If you want to create a new branch from this checkout, you may do so
(now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
git checkout -b <new_branch_name>
HEAD is now at 6a33dbc... wip
project((6a33dbc...))$
project((6a33dbc...))$ git branch
* (no branch)
master
It becomes (no branch) although the SHA1 is correct. If I then checkout master,
then it revert and jump back up the previous master HEAD. I tried HEAD@{xx}
also failed. What is the correct way of to checkout that master@{..} and stay
in that master branch? (Sometimes it worked I forgot how and why)

A reflog entry is not a branch; it is just a pointer to the commit where
a branch was at some point. Using "git checkout" on it will let you
explore the contents, just as you might with a tag. If you want to build
on it, you need to either:
1. Make a new branch to work on, starting at that point:
git checkout -b my-topic master@{1}
2. Reset your current branch (and worktree) to point at that commit:
git reset --hard master@{1}

Thank you for explanation on the difference between checkout and
reset.
