Lyrics of 24 solar terms

In early spring, the sun is turning and the rain is spreading by the river.

Scared crows crow, the spring equinox dries up,

Qingming is busy planting wheat, and Grain Rain is busy farming.

Long summer goose feathers live, the birds are coming,

Mango seeds are busy producing, and cotton is not picked on the solstice in summer.

The summer heat is not hot, but the summer heat is in the dog days.

Beginning of autumn is busy playing a mat, and Xia Dao is cheap.

A thousand years of busy land cutting, the autumnal equinox does not give birth to fields.

Before the cold dew is cold, the frost has changed.

Under the frost and fog in early winter, the tributary of Xiaoxue River froze.

The snow is so tightly sealed that the ship can't sail on the solstice in winter.

It is another year of mild cold and severe cold, and every household enjoys a bumper harvest year.

Since the 5,000-year history, the main political, economic, cultural and agricultural activity centers in China have been concentrated in the Central Plains of the Yellow River Basin, and the 24 solar terms were established on the basis of climate and phenology in this area. Because China has a vast territory and changeable terrain, the 24 solar terms are only a reference for many regions.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, four solar terms were set, namely, mid-spring, mid-summer, mid-autumn and mid-winter. After continuous improvement and perfection, by the Qin and Han Dynasties, the 24 solar terms had been completely established. In BC 104, the taichu calendar written by Deng Ping officially set 24 solar terms in the calendar, and defined the astronomical position of the 24 solar terms.
