However, the earth's speed varies from fast to slow, which does not coincide with the degree of longitude. 《 Chongzhen almanac 》According to the zodiac Yellow meridian The degree division method, that is, taking the vernal equinox as the starting point, and every 30 degrees of the yellow meridian as a palace, adopts“ Stationary gas ", that is, taking the vernal equinox as the starting point, Solar apparent motion Every 15 degrees forward of the yellow meridian is a solar term.

In other words, the starting point of the twelve zodiac signs is completely consistent with the twelve qi in the twenty-four solar terms.
