Historical origin

China's astrology culture has a long history and is profound. The ancients began to explore the mysteries of the universe very early, and thus deduced a complete and profound star-watching culture. "Twenty-four solar terms" is the product of ancient farming civilization, which has a long history and is associated with heavenly stems and earthly branches and Bagua. The age of early observation of images and timing was determined according to the changes of stars.

The Big Dipper is an important astrological sign in the Northern Hemisphere (China is located in the Northern Hemisphere). When the stars rotate, the natural rhythm of the corresponding areas in the Northern Hemisphere is gradually changing. The bucket handle cycle of the Big Dipper starts from the "Yin position" (the gossip position the day after tomorrow) due to the east and north, and then points to the twelve mornings in turn.
