Interaction between China and the West: What is the relationship between solar terms and constellations?

Twenty-four solar terms are a supplementary calendar to guide agricultural activities in ancient China based on the change of the position of the sun on the ecliptic and summarized through long-term observation. Under the condition of underdeveloped science and technology thousands of years ago, such a discovery is quite remarkable, which embodies the high wisdom of ancient China people. So what is the relationship between the 24 solar terms in China and the 12 constellations in the west that Bian Xiao will introduce to you today? Aries: The first sign of the zodiac.
