Yi Weitong divined: "The wind of eight knots is called eight winds. Beginning of spring is windy, spring is sunny and windy, long summer is sunny and windy, summer solstice is windy, autumn is cool, autumn equinox is windy, beginning of winter is windy, and winter solstice is windy. "

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Dai's Night Sailing recorded the eight winds in more detail: "Eight winds and eight knots, spring breeze (the equator is too small to stay behind), spring breeze (closing the border and repairing the fields), long summer Qingming wind (issuing coins and sealing the princes), summer scenery wind to the sun (defending the generals and sealing the merits), and beginning of autumn cool breeze (reporting the merits of the soil).

Eight winds: the east wind is called Shuming wind, the south wind is called Feng Jing (also called Kaifeng), the west wind is called Luhe wind, the north wind is called open wind, the northeast wind is called Zhang Feng (also called Rongfeng), the southeast wind is called Qingming wind, the northwest wind is called Zhou Feng, and the southwest wind is called cool wind.
