What does it mean to tell the time in the twenty-four solar terms?
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.
The twenty-four solar terms were very important in ancient times. In ancient China, agricultural irrigation depended on rivers, and farming was mainly concentrated in the Yangtze River and Yellow River basins. Until now, farmers in these areas are still engaged in agricultural production according to solar terms, temperature and precipitation.
