The origin of the twenty-four solar terms

"Twenty-four solar terms" is the product of ancient farming civilization, which has a long history and is associated with heavenly stems and earthly branches and Bagua. Agricultural production is closely related to geographical and climatic resources, and superior geographical and climatic resources are important conditions for the birth of agricultural civilization. China is located in the east of Asia-Europe continent and the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, with great differences in thermal properties between land and sea, forming the most typical monsoon climate in the world.

Monsoon climate is a mixture of continental climate and maritime climate. In winter, affected by the dry and cold air flow in the inland, the weather is cold, dry and rainy; Summer is affected by the warm and humid air flow from the ocean, which is hot, humid and rainy. The high temperature period is consistent with the rainy period, and the water and heat match well, which is very beneficial to the growth of crops. The precipitation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River in China is mainly concentrated in summer, which has the characteristics of "both rain and heat". Climate elements mainly include temperature, precipitation and light. With abundant sunshine, abundant precipitation, high temperature, humidity, rain and heat, it is a superior climatic condition in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River in China, which is suitable for crop growth. Farming civilization was born here, and the 24 solar terms also originated here.
