Twenty-four solar terms refer to the 24 specific solar terms in the China lunar calendar, which are formulated according to the changes of the orbital position of the earth around the sun. Twenty-four solar terms, a supplementary calendar established in the pre-Qin period and completely established in the Han Dynasty, is a knowledge system formed by observing the movement of the sun in a year and understanding the changing laws of the four seasons, climate and phenology in a year.

It divides the sun's annual trajectory into 24 equal parts, and each equal part is a solar term, starting from beginning of spring and ending with severe cold. It is not only a time standard promulgated by successive governments, but also a compass to guide agricultural production. People's compass for predicting cold, warm, rainy and snowy weather in daily life is the crystallization of the long-term experience and wisdom of Chinese working people.

2016165438+1October 30th, 24 solar terms were officially listed in UNESCO's Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. In the field of international meteorology, the 24 solar terms are known as "the fifth invention of China".

Second,

Among the 24 solar terms, beginning of spring is the one we are most familiar with. Beginning of spring is the first of the 24 solar terms. It means to begin to enter the spring, "yang and thorns, everything is spring." After beginning of spring, everything is full of vitality, and the four seasons begin now. In fact, spring in nature has not really arrived yet. At this moment, most parts of our country are still very cold. As the proverb goes, it is not spring in beginning of spring, but the rain is still freezing. However, nature is quietly transmitting the message of spring to people. Everything has a spirit. As soon as spring comes, they begin to sprout.

In ancient times, there was a ceremony to welcome spring. The ceremony was very lively. Children dressed as spring officials ran all the way, shouting, "Spring is coming, spring is coming." Beginning of spring will "kick a spring cow" that day. Spring cattle, usually made of earth, broke the cow, and everyone around them laughed and grabbed the broken clod. It is said that the soil on the spring corner can make the farmland harvest, the soil on the cow is suitable for sericulture, and the soil on the cow's eye can cure diseases. Dressed in "Koharu Baby" made of silk by their mothers, the dolls followed the vendors in the streets and looked at the lovely "Koharu Cattle" made of clay on the railings wrapped in colored paper.

After beginning of spring, Bai Niao is singing, flowers are blooming, and a scene of birds singing and flowers singing is coming. Poets also came to praise the charming spring: "Two orioles sing green willows and a row of egrets go up to the sky." "The grass grows in February, and the willows are drunk with spring smoke." "Thousands of miles of warblers sing green and reflect red, and the water town is full of wine flags."

In spring, besides beginning of spring, there is also the solar term "vernal equinox". On that day, there was a folk custom of laying eggs vertically. Tens of millions of people around the world are doing "vertical egg" experiments. Its play is simple and interesting: choose a smooth and symmetrical fresh egg that has just been born for four or five days, and gently stand it up on the table. Although there are many losers, there are also many winners. The vernal equinox has become the best time for vertical egg games, so there is a saying that when the vernal equinox arrives, the eggs will be beautiful. The eggs that stand up are very beautiful. When the "vernal equinox" season, our children can try the game and feel the happiness brought by this game.

There is a text called "Four Seasons" in the textbook of the first grade of primary school:

The grass buds are very sharp. He said to the bird, "I am spring."

Lotus leaves are round. He said to the frog, "I am summer."

The ears of grain bent, and he bowed and said, "I am autumn."

The snowman stood with a big belly and said naughtily, "I am winter."

We ushered in a warm spring, a scene of birds and flowers. As Mr. Zhu Ziqing wrote: Everything is just like waking up, open your eyes happily. The mountains moistened, the water rose and the sun blushed. Time is like a song. We are with each other. As time goes by, we feel the same with the changes of nature and appreciate the beauty of life.

Can your child carry solar term song? How long has it been since you told your children the old stories and cultural customs related to the 24 solar terms? Many parents will not agree with the above questions. The era of big data has arrived, and the trains of the times are driving faster and faster. The traditional farming life has long since left the children. The progress of science and technology makes our grasp of time and climate more and more accurate. Is it necessary to tell children about this traditional solar term?

In fact, these cultures and customs, which are deposited in the depths of life, are the way for children to bury their roots in this land under their feet and have a deeper understanding of themselves. In today's deteriorating environment, children should be more aware of the way of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

If the red mother's "Tell Children Twenty-four Solar Terms" is to help children find the door connected with nature, arouse children's attention to phenology, changes in animals and plants around them, and find different natural beauty in different solar terms. In the accelerating pace of life, letting children's hearts move towards peace will also help children find confidence in national culture.
