The #ChineseCalendar divides the year into 24 solar terms, or jieqi. Each covers 15° of the ecliptic.

12 of these are considered major, and are referred to as #zhongqi. Four zhongqi begin with the solstices and equinoxes.

Minor and major solar terms alternate throughout the year beginning with Lìchūn, a minor solar term that begins on the day the sun crosses 315° of the ecliptic;.
