When and who ordered 24 solar terms?

Twenty-four solar terms originated in the Yellow River Basin. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, the ancient sages of our country set four solar terms, such as midsummer, midsummer, midsummer and midsummer, and constantly improved and perfected them. 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. Twenty-four solar terms are the original cultural heritage of working people in China, which can reflect the changes of seasons, guide agricultural activities and affect the food, clothing, housing and transportation of thousands of households.
