Twenty-four solar terms, a supplementary calendar guiding farming in ancient China, were formed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Because the lunar calendar in China is a kind of "yin and yang calendar", that is, it is based on the movement of the sun and the moon, so it can't fully reflect the solar cycle. However, China is an agricultural society, and agriculture needs a strict understanding of the movement of the sun, so farming is entirely based on the sun. Therefore, the "twenty-four solar terms" that reflect the solar cycle alone are added to the calendar as the standard for determining leap months.
