The conclusion is that niu appears at the beginning of
'years'. Rei (Eb6-4 and Eb3-20) tell
about the start of the 1st respectively of the 2nd quarters. Eb6-5 stands
at the beginning of the half-year from winter solstice to summer
solstice, while Eb3-21--22 stand at the beginning of the half-year
from spring to autumn.
The 6 marks forward on
Eb6-5 and Eb3-21 informs us that sun is involved. |
