Rather than telling a story, the work tracks energy states —melancholy giving way to festivity, festivity settling into peace—mirroring the arc of solar motion across a cycle. The accompanying symbolic movement diagram  translates these states into spatial and kinetic language, offering listeners a way to inhabit  the sound through motion, stillness, and orientation. This article outlines how sound, movement, and solar symbolism  converge within the Sono Sol Gold (SSG) practi

(Practical dates: Dàhán typically falls around Jan 20–Feb 4; Lìchūn typically falls Feb 3–5 in the Gregorian calendar. These solar-term markers are astronomical points in the 24-term cycle used to orient seasonal practice.)  ( Wikipedia ) 1 — Why this window matters (artistically) The span from Dàhán → Lìchūn  is a natural hinge: deep seasonal contraction gives way to the first stirrings of emergence. In 2026 this hinge overlays the sixty-year sexagenary marker known as Bǐng-
