The 24 Solar Terms
Pinpoints each solar term’s exact beginning, accurate to the second.
Explore each solar term's celestial signs and climate, its 72 pentads, its folk rhythms, and its farming lore.
The 72 pentads — from "the east wind thaws the ice" to "springs begin to stir," our ancestors observed the year as 72 subtle phenological moments.
A curated classical poem for every solar term, with line-by-line commentary.
