What do double quotation marks mean in solar terms?

The solar term is the time when 15 or 16 of each month is the place where China's spirit lies in the China lunar calendar, which is regarded as one of the important bases for the division of the lunar calendar. Adding "double quotation marks" means that "solar terms" often have a general meaning and can be used to describe a specific period or event. For example, "dog days" and "entering summer" belong to summer solar terms, but in daily language, the word solar terms is often preceded by double quotation marks to refer to specific periods more clearly.

In China culture, solar terms are not only used to divide the lunar calendar and astronomical time, but also given more cultural connotations. Many traditional festivals and customs are closely related to solar terms, such as Tomb-Sweeping Day and beginning of spring. In some areas, celebrations or sacrifices will be held according to different solar terms. Therefore, the word "solar terms" will have different meanings and usage methods on different occasions.

Nowadays, although many people no longer use the lunar calendar, solar terms are still an indispensable part of China's traditional culture. At the same time, with the improvement of people's understanding of astronomy, meteorology and agriculture, the significance of solar terms has been further expanded and deepened. In modern society, "solar terms" can also be used to describe events or phenomena with the characteristics of the times, such as "low-carbon solar terms life" and "consumption solar terms". On these occasions, adding double quotation marks can also help people understand and use the word more accurately.
