Why do we need to know the 24 solar terms?

Twenty-four solar terms belong to the traditional calendar of China. Understanding the 24 solar terms is the inheritance and development of traditional cultural customs. The 24 solar terms are highly related to the weather and phenological changes in China. Knowing the 24 solar terms is convenient for people to calculate the time of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and can accurately predict agricultural production and other activities; The twenty-four solar terms are closely combined with the solar calendar and the lunar calendar. Knowing the 24 solar terms, we can roughly calculate the general climate of each time period, which is convenient for people to keep in good health. Therefore, it is very necessary for us to learn and master the 24 solar terms.

Spring rain shocks spring and clear valley days, summer is full of mountains and summer is connected with heat, autumn dew is cold and frost, and winter snow drifts. ? This twenty-four solar term song is known as the twenty-four solar terms. It is a calendar obtained by the ancestors of the Chinese nation after thousands of years of repeated practice, which conforms to the phenological and seasonal characteristics of China.

Each solar term name can profoundly reflect the characteristics of climate change. Beginning of spring, vernal equinox, long summer, summer solstice, beginning of autumn, autumnal equinox, beginning of winter and winter solstice represent the changes of the four seasons, which enables people to roughly calculate the number of days that summer comes and cold passes through the calendar time. There are slight heat, great heat, intense heat, slight cold and severe cold, which represent the rise and fall of temperature. It's easy to wear clothes as you choose and keep warm and cool. Rain, Grain Rain, white dew, cold dew, first frost, light snow and heavy snow all reflect precipitation, which helps people to guard against rain and snow and avoid unnecessary losses. The changes in phenology and agricultural production are surprising, bright, full and abrupt, which can let people know when to plant what crops and when to harvest them, and effectively achieve spring ploughing, summer harvesting and winter storage.

At the same time, the 24 solar terms are also closely combined with calendars such as the solar calendar. Even if you don't look at the solar calendar, you can roughly calculate the time ranges of Changxia, beginning of spring, Equinox and beginning of winter. Through the 24 solar terms, the time difference generally calculated is very small.

Therefore, the 24 solar terms imply the law of material transformation, and learning and inheriting it still has a very strong reference significance for contemporary us.
