Jieqi

A Jiq is one of 24 points spaced 15 apart along the ecliptic used by all traditional East Asian lunisolar calendars to stay synchronized with the seasons. Because the Sun's speed along the ecliptic varies depending on the Earth-Sun distance, the number of days that it takes the Sun to travel between each pair of jiq varies slightly throughout the year. Jiqs originated in China, then spread to Korea, Vietnam, and Japan.
