But in Farmers Yearbook Moon Gardening is always our philosophy and our version includes the best calendars for sowing, planting, weeding and other garden trivia. It is the moon. Our readers have used this method for garden and crop management for a long time. Those who swear by this ancient growth method say that the water in the ground and plants is influenced by the attraction of the sun and the moon just like the ocean tide. As in the new season like the moon's phases and the culmination of all the seasons, this theory also seeds seem to absorb the most water at these times.

The Chinese moon follows the moon's phases. As a result, they were not exactly chasing the sun's season. The calendar drafter put in a marker of 24 seasons to help decide when the farmer planted crops or harvested. And it is called jiéqì solar term after the sun. Each jiéqì is named after the event that occurred in the northern plain of China like "awakening insects". The term Jiéqì is often translated as "weather node". Each node is the moment when the sun reaches one of 24 equidistant points along the ecliptic. This includes the day and night bisector placed at the end and at 15 degree intervals. Because the calculations are based on the sun, these zeaks are the same date every year in the sun's calendar (Gregorian calendar etc.), but no obvious pattern is formed in the Chinese calendar.
