A summary of the custom culture of the twenty-four solar terms

Twenty-four solar terms scientifically reveal the laws of astronomical and meteorological changes, skillfully combine astronomy, agriculture, phenology and folk customs, and derive a large number of related seasonal cultures, which have become an important part of China traditional culture. In order to express the characteristics of time series more accurately, the ancients divided solar terms into four groups: divided, arrived, opened and closed.

"Minute" refers to the vernal equinox and the autumn equinox; "Solstice" is the summer solstice and the winter solstice; "Open" is beginning of spring and Changxia, "closed" is beginning of autumn and beginning of winter. Beginning of spring, Chang Xia, beginning of autumn and beginning of winter are collectively called "Sili". "Li Si" and "divided into two" are collectively called "eight festivals", and the folks call them "four seasons and eight festivals".

As a traditional agricultural society, the ancients attached great importance to the beginning of the Lunar New Year and held various folk activities during this period. In ancient times, the importance of etiquette and customs was not the first month of the lunar calendar, but beginning of spring Day; Major sacrifices to the gods and ancestors, exorcising evil spirits, praying for blessings and welcoming the new are arranged in beginning of spring and a few days before and after; This series of festival activities not only constitutes the framework of the New Year's Eve Festival in later generations, but also retains its folk function to this day.

According to the law of solar terms, beginning of spring is the beginning of the rising of yang in the qi of yin and yang. Since beginning of spring, the yang has changed and risen, and beginning of spring marks the rebirth of everything and the beginning of a new cycle. The solstice in winter is the starting point for the return of the sun. Since the winter solstice, the height of the sun has risen, and the day is getting longer and longer. The winter solstice marks the rebirth of the sun and the round-trip movement of the sun into a new cycle.

In the "four seasons and eight festivals", the solstice in winter is as important as New Year's Day in spring. In the long farming society, the 24 solar terms play an important role and have rich cultural connotations. Some solar terms, such as beginning of spring, Winter Solstice and Tomb-Sweeping Day, are both natural solar terms and important folk festivals. Other solar terms have also spawned a large number of related folk culture.
