Twenty-four solar term song

The plum blossoms in the early spring are particularly bright, and the apricot blossoms after the rain are particularly fresh; Lulin thunder, butterfly dance between flowers at the vernal equinox.

Qingming kite broken, Grain Rain tender tea jade companion; Mulberry fruits are like cherries in the long summer, and silkworms are cultivated in the small man.

Before mango seedlings enter the palace, the summer solstice rice and flowers are like white practice; Summer breeze urges early-maturing beans, and Chi Pan enjoys red lotus in hot summer.

Beginning of autumn knows how to make people fall asleep, and sunflowers smile in summer. The white dew returns to the wild goose, and the autumn equinox smells like osmanthus.

Cold dew vegetable seedlings are green, and the first frost reed flowers are floating all over the sky; Beginning of winter reported good news, reported three rewards, and light snow and goose feathers flew in pieces.

The snow is very cold, the plum blossoms are crazy in the wind, and the winter solstice is full of snow. Little cold wanderers are homesick, and they celebrate reunion at the end of the cold year.
