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 . . .Qi,
Steven>>>They are the four animals and their months: Ox, Dragon, Sheep, Dog.
Which months?
Please clarify.Thanks,
StevenThis 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
