24 solar terms has been included in the intangible heritage list. Do you know the origin of the 24 solar terms?

It is a good thing that the 24 solar terms are included in the intangible cultural heritage. I didn't know the origin of the 24 solar terms until I read about Yue Ming in the Qin Dynasty. Twenty-four solar terms are the crystallization of farmers' experience and wisdom in the pre-Qin period. By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, taichu calendar was written by Deng Ping and Tang Dou.

The twenty-four solar terms are the crystallization of countless wisdom of our ancient ancestors. This is a great festival, the essence of our Chinese civilization, and constitutes one of the territories of our long-standing China culture. It is also known as "the fifth invention of China", which has a far-reaching influence on us, and even today, we still use it. Because the twenty-four solar terms reflect the relationship between the earth and the sun, they are a system that forms the laws of the movement of the sun and the laws of all things in nature, which proves the infinite wisdom of the ancients.

And the 24 solar terms are very important. China is a big agricultural country, which guides our agricultural production and affects our daily necessities and cultural concepts. Now it is also recognized by the United Nations and listed as an intangible cultural heritage. Among the 24 solar terms, beginning of spring, solar terms, Tomb-Sweeping Day and winter solstice are more important. At these moments, we all strongly feel the change of the weather, and there are related festivals, such as Tomb-Sweeping Day's ancestor worship and eating jiaozi or glutinous rice balls on the winter solstice.

Nowadays, while developing economy and technology, we also need to pay attention to our traditional culture. The wisdom of the ancients is also very high, and many things cannot be done by current technology. As China people and descendants of the Chinese people, we should be confident in our own culture, and we should not totally deny the traditional culture because of the backwardness and humiliation in modern times. We should attach importance to our own cultural and spiritual heritage, so as to make better progress.
