Which books in ancient China have long observed and recorded the cycles of nature?

The circulation of nature has been observed and recorded in ancient China. Qu Yuan put forward in "Tian Wen" "The nine states are wrong, where are the valleys? The eastward flow does not overflow, who knows why?" It means: The valleys are deep and the rivers flow eastward day and night, why does the sea water not overflow? The book "Guanzi" in the pre-Qin Dynasty put forward the cyclical thought of "the weather is below and the earth's atmosphere is above, and all things communicate". The "Huangdi Neijing" written in the Western Han Dynasty further stated: "The earth's atmosphere is clouds, and the weather is rain; rain comes out of the earth's atmosphere, and clouds come out of the weather." This shows that the idea of ????water vapor circulation existed at that time. Guo Pu (276-324) of Jin Dynasty said in "Book of Burials": "The yin and yang qi swell and become wind. When they rise, they become clouds, when they fall, they become rain, and when they travel to the ground, they become vitality. When vitality moves, it becomes wind. In the earth, all things arise... This is why the copper mountain collapses in the west, the bells ring in the east, the trees bloom in spring, and the chestnut buds bloom in the room. end.
