The summer heat is not hot, but the summer heat is in the dog days. Beginning of autumn is busy playing indigo and sharpening knives and sickles in summer. The Millennium is busy cutting land, and the autumn equinox turns over the land. Before the cold dew is cold, the frost has changed. In the early winter of October, it snowed. At the fork of a snowy river, you can't sail on the solstice in winter. Slight cold and severe cold, year after year.

2. Twenty-four solar terms are precious scientific heritages created by Chinese ancestors after thousands of years of practice, and they are tools to reflect the changes of weather, climate and phenology and master the farming season. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, China could already measure the length of the midday sun shadow with a soil gauge (erect a pole on the plane) to determine the four solar terms of winter solstice, summer solstice, vernal equinox and autumnal equinox. In a year, the shortest day of the noon soil return shadow is the summer solstice, the longest day is the winter solstice, and the shadow with moderate length is the vernal equinox or autumn equinox. With continuous observation, analysis and summary, the division of solar terms is gradually enriched and scientific. By the Qin and Han dynasties more than 2000 years ago, a complete concept of 24 solar terms had been formed. In ancient times, a year was divided into twelve months, and each month had two solar terms. The former is solar terms, while the latter is neutral. Now we are used to calling solar terms and neutral gas solar terms.
