Chinese translation: As the saying goes, "a year's plan lies in spring", but I think "a year's plan lies in autumn".

The "plan" here should be described as "plan"

In ancient China, in the farming society cultivated for you, all production activities strictly followed the principle of "planting in spring and harvesting in autumn".

Therefore, the wise China ancients summed up 24 solar terms's methods and skills, which are still instructive today.

Back to the English sentence "Spring is the best time to do a year's work." In fact, it can't simply convey what China called "plan". Spring is the beginning of a year. From this time on, it is necessary to plan the work for the whole year. "Where there is a prophecy, it will be abolished." Only by making full preparations at the beginning can the next work be carried out in an orderly way.

Of course, with the development of science and technology, human beings have made great use of various experiences and technologies after mastering the laws of nature, so that we can't look at the zodiac according to the script like the ancients. There is nothing wrong with a year's plan in autumn. But the premise is to follow the laws of nature, that is, Tao.
