Twenty-four solar term song (Hakka folk songs)

Word: Lin Qiu (adapted) Song: Lin Qiu Singing: Lin Qiu

The spring rain shakes the spring and clears the valley, and the summer is full of mountains and summers.

Autumn dew, autumn frost, little snow in winter and cold in winter.

In spring, flowers bloom, drizzle falls, spring thunder vibrates, frogs call vernal equinox, Tomb-Sweeping Day plows fields, and Grain Rain spring tea.

Farming in the long summer, irrigating the fields with small crops, looking at the fruits on the awn, looking at the grains on the summer solstice, ripening in the summer, and harvesting in the summer.

Before beginning of autumn, after planting beans, I spent the whole summer ploughing, ploughing with the Millennium, watching the grain at the autumnal equinox, and bearing fruit before the cold dew.

As soon as the first frost cools, beginning of winter harvests grain, and it snows a little, that is, the winter year, the slight cold year and the great cold reunion.

Song Synopsis: Most Hakkas make a living by farming, especially planting rice, which has become a part of Hakkas' life. The twenty-four solar terms are something that everyone who cultivates land must know. This song also lets friends who have never farmed know what every farmer is doing in these 24 solar terms.

"Twenty-four solar term song" is a small poem compiled for the convenience of remembering the twenty-four solar terms in the ancient calendar of China, and there are many versions circulating. Solar terms refer to the 24 solar terms and climate. It is a calendar made in ancient China to express seasonal changes and guide farming. It is the crystallization of the long-term experience and wisdom of the ancient working people in China.

Because the lunar calendar in China is a kind of "yin and yang calendar", which is based on the movement of the sun and the moon, it can't fully reflect the solar cycle. But China is an agricultural society, and agriculture needs a strict understanding of the movement of the sun, so farming is entirely based on the sun. Therefore, the "twenty-four solar terms" that reflect the solar cycle alone are added to the calendar as the standard for determining leap months.
