一年四季循环往复,来了又去,去了又来;秋天收割庄稼,冬天储藏粮食。古人据此规律发明了历法,一年12个月,365天。积累数年的闰余合并成一个月,放在闰年里;古人用六律六吕来调节阴阳,分化出24个节气。天地位焉,万物育焉。
Seasons recycle as is set by nature. When cold winter comes, the heat of summer is gone. Autumn is a season when people are busy harvesting, and winter is a time when everything has been done. Based on this, the ancients invented what we call the Lunar Calendar, 12 moons, 365 days a year. And in due course, there appear leap years. And the moons are further divided into 24 solar terms based on the movement of Shade and Shine. Everything is well balanced like the tunes of a harp, and all creatures are made to pair, male and female.
