The origin of the twenty-four solar terms mechanism

Twenty-four solar terms originated in the Yellow River Basin, which is the crystallization of long-term experience and wisdom of ancient Han working people. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, four solar terms were set, namely, mid-spring, mid-summer, mid-autumn and mid-winter. After continuous improvement and perfection, by the Qin and Han Dynasties, the 24 solar terms had been completely established. In BC 104, the taichu calendar written by Deng Ping officially set 24 solar terms in the calendar, and defined the astronomical position of the 24 solar terms.
