What's the difference between the 24 solar terms and the 12 zodiac signs?

The zodiac can record the moon, while the 24 solar terms are produced to meet the needs of farming season, and the moon can also be recorded, but it can be divided into more details, such as beginning of spring, rain, fright and so on. And each solar term has a specific meaning, indicating the change of the relationship between the sun and the land, climate conditions and everything.

Some solar terms reflect the change of the relative angle between the sun and the earth, some solar terms reflect the change of climatic conditions such as rain, snow, frost and dew, and some solar terms reflect the change of phenological conditions such as plant growth and animal activities.

In ancient China, the 24 solar terms reflected the agricultural and climatic conditions in the Yellow River basin. Climate change is not only related to the growth of plants, but also closely related to the growth, development and activities of animals.

Therefore, the 24 solar terms not only have a great influence on human activities and growth, but also on the activities of rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs.

There are 24 solar terms in a year, and there is generally one solar term in a month. The average time between every two solar terms is about 30 4/ 10 days, while the number of days in the lunar calendar is 29 and a half days. So every 34 months, there are bound to be two months when only festivals have no breath, and there is breath and no breath.

A month without festivals is a leap month in the lunar calendar, and a month without festivals is not a leap month. According to the lunar calendar, each lunar calendar generally corresponds to two solar terms.
