Interpretation of the timetable of 24 solar terms

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.

The first half of the year is June 2 1 day, and the second half is August 23.

The two festivals remain unchanged every month, with a maximum difference of one or two days.

The song meaning of the twenty-four solar terms:

Beginning of spring: It means the beginning of spring. "When the sun is in harmony, everything is spring." After beginning of spring, everything is revived and full of vitality, and all seasons begin from now on.

Rain: the spring breeze blows all over, the ice and snow melt, the air is moist, and the rain is increasing, so it is called rain. As the agricultural proverb goes, "Spring is blooming, and rain is busy delivering fertilizer."

Creep: After beginning of spring, the weather turned warmer, and the spring thunder began to sound. All kinds of hibernating animals that were dormant in the soil would wake up and start to move, so they were called stings.

Vernal equinox: The sun is above the equator at the vernal equinox. This is the 90-day vernal equinox in spring. On this day, the northern and southern hemispheres are equal in day and night, so it is called the vernal equinox.

Qingming: At this time, the climate is fresh and warm, the vegetation begins to sprout new branches and everything begins to grow. Farmers are busy plowing and sowing in spring.

Grain Rain: Grain Rain means that rain breeds grain, and grain can grow because rain moistens the earth. So Grain Rain is "a hundred valleys are born because of rain".

Long summer: It is customary to regard the long summer when the temperature rises significantly, the summer heat comes, thunderstorms increase and crops enter the peak season as an important solar term.

Xiaoman: Since Xiaoman, summer crops such as barley and winter wheat have borne fruit and full seeds, but they are not yet mature, so they are called Xiaoman.

Awn seed: It is most suitable for sowing grain crops with awns. After this time, the crops with long awns will not be ripe. "awn" refers to crops with awns, such as wheat and barley, and "species" refers to seeds.

Summer solstice: This day is the longest day and the shortest night in the northern hemisphere. In the hot season, everything in the world grows most vigorously at this time.

Slight heat: north refers to Xin. The longitude of the sun is 105 degrees. It's already very hot, but it's not the hottest time yet, so it's called Xiaoshu. At this point, it is already around the beginning.

Summer: The hottest solar term in a year, just before and after the dog days, there are 40 degrees high temperature weather in many places in the Yangtze River basin.

Beginning of autumn: Autumn means that plants are about to mature. From this day on, the autumn is crisp and the bright moon is in the sky. Since then, the temperature has gradually decreased from the hottest time.

Summer heat: "Chu" means hiding and ending, indicating that the summer heat of the year is about to pass. The summer heat has come to an end and the summer heat will dissipate, which is a sign that the climate is getting colder.

The Millennium: When the weather turns cold, the water vapor on the ground condenses the most. Agricultural proverb: "It's autumn night in the white dew, and it's cold all night." "The Millennium is busy cutting land, and there is no field in the autumn equinox."

Autumnal Equinox: From this day on, the direct sunlight position continues to move from the equator to the southern hemisphere, and the northern hemisphere begins to have shorter days and longer nights. This day is exactly half of the ninety days in autumn, so it is called the autumnal equinox.

Cold dew: After the white dew, the weather turned cold and dew began to appear. When it comes to cold dew, the temperature will be lower if there is more dew.

First frost: solar longitude 2 10. It's already cold, and there is frost, so it's called the first frost. "The cold dew is not cold, and the first frost has changed."

Beginning of winter: Our people regard this day as the beginning of winter. Winter, as the end, means that after a year of field work, crops will be harvested.

Xiaoxue: The longitude of the sun is 240. The temperature dropped and it began to snow, but it was not the season of heavy snow, so it was called light snow.

Heavy snow: before and after heavy snow, there is snow in the Yellow River basin; It's already the severe winter of "thousands of miles frozen, Wan Li snowing" in the north.

Solstice in winter: On the winter solstice, the sun shines almost directly on the tropic of Capricorn. Our northern hemisphere has the shortest days and the longest nights, and it has begun to enter several cold days.

Slight cold: After slight cold, it begins to enter the cold season. Cold air is cold for a long time, and slight cold means that the weather is cold but not extreme.

Great cold: the longitude of the sun is 300. Great cold refers to extremely cold weather. Around the Great Cold is the coldest season of the year.

As a supplementary calendar in ancient China, the 24 solar terms play an extremely important role in the traditional farming culture of China, and are the products of long-term observation and research on astronomy and meteorology by the working people in ancient China, which contains the long-standing cultural connotation and historical accumulation of the Chinese nation.

In the twenty-four solar terms, there are not only phenological changes between cold and summer, but also changes in temperature and rainfall. Through it, the ancients can intuitively and clearly understand the changing law of seasonal climate in a year, so as to master the farming season and arrange farming activities reasonably. It not only plays a guiding role in agricultural production, but also affects the food, clothing, housing and transportation of ancient people, and even cultural concepts.

201165438+1October 30th, China declared that "Twenty-four solar terms-the time knowledge system and its practice formed by China people by observing the precession of the sun" was officially listed in the representative list of human intangible cultural heritage.
