What's the difference between solar terms in western countries and those in China?

There is no lunar calendar or 24 solar terms abroad. The lunar calendar is unique to China, and the 24 solar terms were also summarized by the ancestors of China according to their daily farming.

In the division of seasons, foreign countries are divided according to astronomy and meteorology, and spring, summer, autumn and winter are called four seasons. Looking at the geographical location of the country, the climate in different regions is different, which is generally the same as that in our south and north temperate subtropical regions, but the season in the south of the earth is just the opposite to ours. It is not obvious near the equator. For example, there are only two seasons in a year in north-central Africa: rainy season and dry season.

There are different standards for the division of the four seasons. Astronomically speaking, the spring equinox (about March 2 1), summer solstice (about June 22), autumn equinox (September 23) and winter solstice (about February 2 1) are four seasons.

According to meteorological and climatic statistics, June 5438+ 10 is the most Leng Yue and July is the hottest month, and March, April and May of the solar calendar are spring, June, July and August are summer, and September, June 10 and June1. This method of dividing the four seasons is more suitable for temperate regions with distinct seasons.
