Extended data

Twenty-four solar terms are a knowledge system formed in ancient times by observing the movement of the sun for a year and understanding the changing laws of the four seasons, climate and phenology in a year.

Twenty-four solar terms divide 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. Each solar term represents different changes in climate, phenology and time.

China has a vast territory, complex geographical conditions, great differences in climate and different seasons, so the specific climatic significance of solar terms does not apply to all parts of the country. For example, beginning of spring, a climatologist, defined beginning of spring as a day when the daily average temperature is stable above 10℃ every five days, which is inconsistent with the meaning of beginning of spring in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. Only Lingnan in China really enters the spring.

Twenty-four solar terms are only a reference for many regions. Because China was an agricultural society in ancient times, agriculture needed a strict understanding of the operation of the sun, and farming was carried out entirely according to the sun. The twenty-four solar terms in ancient China were based on guiding farming.
