I’ve always loved the names of the solar terms.
They really create a lot of imagery.

I didn’t know about the 18 days thing before . . .
thanks for sharing . . .

This has the basic knowledge. The usage of 18-days in transitions is slightly different. Dont have time know for details. Maybe later.

scroll down to months, notice animals between seasons are all earth animals: ox, dragon, sheep, dog

They basically span the two solar terms prior to the
start of a new season, from what I can see from the
chart.
