About the reason of choosing this number,some one gave this kind of explaination:There are 4 gates built in Zhengding’s city wall which symbolid 4 asons .Maybe people prented 24 to this city to show the rules of 24 solar terms in 4 asons.
The number 24 remains ancient people’s expectancy and pursuit for “the theory that man is an integral part of nature”.
