The relationship between yin and yang and the 24 solar terms?
Answer 1: Since ancient times, Yin and Yang have been closely related to the 24 solar terms. The so-called "yin and yang" is the law or knowledge about the influence of the lunar (moon) and the sun on life on earth. The ancients used 24 solar terms to reflect this relationship between yin and yang. Among the 24 solar terms (omitted), the solar term before the intersection of "winter" and "summer" belongs to "yang", and the solar term before the intersection of "summer" and "winter" belongs to "yin". Scientifically speaking, China is located in the northern hemisphere of the earth. Because the earth is oval, and the axes of the two poles have included angles, it moves up and down in its rotation and revolution around the sun. The highest point upward (north) is defined as the Tropic of Cancer, and the lowest point downward (south) is defined as the Tropic of Cancer. Because of the inclination of the earth, the direct point of the sun's revolution is basically between the equator of the earth. The "Solstice in Winter" is the Tropic of Cancer. After the earth revolves to the northernmost point, it will quickly move south and then revolve to the southernmost point. This is the beginning of the "Solstice in Summer", and so on. This is the relationship between yin and yang and the 24 solar terms. Traditionally, the relationship between Yin and Yang and the twenty-four solar terms expressed in Zhouyi Bagua Compass is that when the sun inclines to the Tropic of Cancer at the northernmost part of the earth, it is represented by the all-yin "Kun" divination, and then by the "Fu" divination, representing the beginning of "winter" and the beginning of "one yang"; "Summer" means "after", which means that when the sun is at the southernmost tip of the Tropic of Capricorn, it will "start again in a shadow".
Answer 2: I understand the above relationship. If we want to apply it to "landscape design" correctly, we still need to know some knowledge of gossip and five elements. According to the compass or compass, first locate (direction) on the ground to be landscaped, and then design according to the 24 solar terms on the compass, so as to show the relationship between the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter and "Yin and Yang". I wonder if you are satisfied with the answer? ...
