Solar term paper-cut making

Twenty-four solar terms originated in the Yellow River Basin.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, China could already measure the length of the midday sun shadow with a soil gauge (erect a pole on the plane) to determine the four solar terms of winter solstice, summer solstice, vernal equinox and autumnal equinox.

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.
