Song of the twenty-four solar terms

Twenty-four solar terms originated in the Yellow River Basin. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, four solar terms were set, namely, mid-spring, mid-summer, mid-autumn and mid-winter. After continuous improvement and perfection, by the Qin and Han Dynasties, the 24 solar terms had been completely established. In BC 104, Deng made the Calendar, which formally set 24 solar terms and defined the astronomical position of the 24 solar terms.

Starting from the zero point of the sun meridian, every 15 degree along the meridian is called a solar term. It runs 360 degrees every year and experiences 24 solar terms twice a month. Among them, the first solar term of each month is "solar term", that is, beginning of spring, Jingzhe, Qingming, Changxia, Mangzhong, Xiaoshu, beginning of autumn, Bailu, Hanlu, beginning of winter, Heavy Snow, Xiaohan, etc. 12 solar terms. The second solar term of each month is "Zhongqi", that is, there are 12 solar terms such as rain, vernal equinox, Grain Rain, Xiaoman, summer solstice, summer, long summer, autumnal equinox, first frost, light snow, winter solstice and great cold. "Solar term" and "neutral qi" appear alternately, each lasting 15 days. Now people have collectively called them "solar terms".

The twenty-four solar terms reflect the apparent movement of the sun in a year, so the date of the solar terms is basically fixed in the current Gregorian calendar. The first half of the year is the 6th and 2nd1,and the second half is the 8th and 23rd, with a difference of 1-2 days.

In order to facilitate memory, people have compiled 24 solar terms:
