Today, are the 24 solar terms still related to our production and life?

For agricultural production:

The twenty-four solar terms point out that the climate change, the amount of rain, the cold temperature and the length of frost and snow in a year are the results of long-term observation, exploration and summary of astronomy, meteorology and climate by working people in China. They have a very important and far-reaching impact on agricultural cultivation, and are generally more suitable for agricultural activities in the Yellow River Basin. Of course, all parts of the country will flexibly use these 24 solar terms according to local climate differences.

Since the Western Han Dynasty, the twenty-four solar terms have been used for generations to guide agricultural production without violating the farming season, arrange farming according to the solar terms, and carry out farming activities such as sowing, field management and harvesting. For thousands of years, it has been an "agricultural climate calendar" that farmers attach great importance to.

Therefore, the 24 solar terms have always been regarded as an important basis for guiding rural farming in China. Even if modern meteorology is so advanced, ordinary farmers will still arrange their farming according to the 24 solar terms.

To life:

There is no doubt that the 24 solar terms play an important role in agricultural production, and they are also very close to people's lives.

First of all, solar terms generally reflect changes in temperature. People can often arrange their clothes according to the changes of solar terms for emergencies. If the solstice of winter comes, there will be a slight cold in the future, so you should prepare all the cold-proof clothes in advance. For example, you can arrange your itinerary according to the solar terms, such as "it rains in the Qingming Festival". In Jiangnan, either you don't arrange a trip. If you want to travel during this time, although the weather may be good when you travel, you have to arrange rain-proof measures in advance, otherwise your trip will be ruined. In the traditional medicine of China, it pays special attention to keeping in good health by solar terms. Isn't it popular to say "winter tonic"? That is to say, in winter solstice, especially some elderly people, some nourishing creams should be arranged to supplement their health. You can find a lot of information by typing "24 solar terms and health preservation" online. The twenty-four solar terms are also closely related to diet, similar to the health preservation of traditional Chinese medicine. Generally speaking, in any solar term, some things are suitable for eating and some things are not suitable for eating.

In short, the 24 solar terms are closely related to agricultural production and people's lives.
