The 24 seasonal points or solar terms, are part of the East Asian lunisolar calendar that originated from China in the Shang and Zhou dynasties (1600 BCE).Β This calendar was fully developed and integrated into the Chinese calendar system during the Qin and Han dynasties (221 BCE). Β For more than 3000 years, this wisdom has remained an integral part of living and cultural heritage for many.Β
In each season, there are 3 months (3 moons) and 6 seasonal pointsΒ Each seasonal point is about 15 days long and adjusted to divide the calendarΒ year evenly. Β Observing these 24 transitionalΒ time periodsΒ provides us with a closer record of seasonal changes. Every seasonal point has a name that helps us synthesize nature's voice by describingΒ various natural phenomenons andΒ astronomical events.Β Β
