The Big Dipper rotates once and bucket handle rotates once clockwise, which is called one of the "years" (Figure).
The current "twenty-four solar terms" are formulated according to the position of the sun on the ecliptic, that is, the sun's trajectory in one year is divided into 24 equal parts, each 15 is 1, and each 1 is a solar term.
