Your general feeling comes from what you know, and what you know is limited to your personal worldview.

See, that’s kind of condescending. I know that solstices and equinoxes are important and were recognized by prehistoric humans all over the world. This isn’t western vs eastern hegemony bullshit. Note that even the Chinese calendar is divisible by 4 and delineated by the solstices. I’ve also read about the solar observatories found in Mexico that predate European involvement as well as the wooden ‘henge’ of the mound builders.

Trying to act like recognition of solstices and equinoxes is some sort of Western cultural imposition is silly.
