The Astronomy Instruction of the Taoist classic Huáinánzi divides the twenty-four solar terms into eight types of wind. The ancient Chinese developed their living, farming, construction, worship and transaction according to the eight winds of the year. In other words, there is a certain time to do certain things according to the consciousness of time.
