Advanced solar terms calculation

Originally, according to the formula of 24 solar terms, the error was only three or two days. This formula reduces the error, which is actually a sinusoidal period. 2π divided by 24 is 0.262, and 24 solar terms are 2π, which is 360 degrees.

f = 365.242 * y+6.2+ 15.22 * x- 1.9 * sin(0.262 * x)

= 365.242 *( 1)+6.2+ 15.22 * 14- 1.9 * sin(0.262 * 14)

=- 145 (days)

The future is uncertain, which should be 365/2= 183 (days).
