24 Agricultural Calendar Divisions

The 24 divisions are used as a guide for farming. Their position in relation to the solar calendar are thus relatively stable. The lunar year varies in length, depending on the insertion of an intercalcary month. This is why the Chinese New Year changes from year to year. It corresponds with a 19 year cycle when the date seems to repeat themselves.

In the latter half of the year, they fall on the eigth and twenty third.
