Does "Big Man" have solar terms?

There is no such solar term.

Among the 24 solar terms, most of them are named according to the climate characteristics, reflecting the climate change of alternating cold and summer in a year. Only two solar terms are named according to the characteristics or phenology of crops, namely "Xiaoman" and "Mangzhong".

Twenty-four solar terms were summed up by the working people in ancient China according to the seasonal changes in cold and summer and the laws of plant growth, which can guide people to engage in agricultural production and arrange food, clothing, housing and transportation, and reflect the superb wisdom of the working people in ancient China.

Because the 24 solar terms play a very important role in agricultural production and are basically original in China, they were listed in the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 20 14.

social influence

Historically, the 24 solar terms have already gone abroad and gone to the world, affecting the Korean Peninsula, Japan and Southeast Asia. In some places, although the seasonal changes are not obvious, people there are still inheriting and carrying forward the 24 solar terms and their accompanying culture, which fully shows its cultural value.

Twenty-four solar terms have been accepted by Korea, Japan and other countries as early as ancient times, and have been used in modern times in combination with their actual situation and national culture. In the traditional calendar of Vietnam, most of the "24 solar terms" have been retained, and the time of some solar terms has been changed, which is more suitable for the actual situation in Vietnam.

Although Vietnamese officials use the solar calendar, some people still use the traditional lunar calendar, especially farmers, who still arrange agricultural production according to the solar terms.
