What is the influence of the 24 solar terms on ancient agriculture?

Twenty-four solar terms are a supplementary calendar for guiding farming in ancient China, which was formed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Because the lunar calendar in China is a "Yin-Yang calendar", which is based on the movement of the sun and the moon, and cannot fully reflect the solar cycle. However, China is an agricultural society, and agriculture needs a strict understanding of the movement of the sun, so farming is based entirely on the sun, so "twenty-four solar terms" reflecting the solar cycle alone are added to the calendar to determine the leap.
