We first give a physical picture to understand the electronic structure by analyzing atomic orbitals and applying symmetry principles. Subsequently, we give the full microscopic derivation of the model Hamiltonian introduced by Zhang {\\it et al} [\\onlinecite{zhang2009}] based both on symmetry principles and the ${\\bf k}\\cdot{\\bf p}$ perturbation theory.
