The origin of the twenty-four solar terms

Twenty-four solar terms originated in the Yellow River Basin. Since 2000, the main political centers in China have been concentrated in the Yellow River Basin, and the 24 solar terms have been established on the basis of climate and phenology in this area. Because China has a vast territory and changeable terrain, the 24 solar terms are only a reference for many regions.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the sundial was measured by earth gauge in ancient China (that is, a pole was erected on the plane to measure the length of the shadow of the noon sun) to determine the four solar terms of midsummer, midsummer, midsummer and winter solstice.

In a year, the shortest day of the shadow of returning to the earth at noon is the summer solstice, the longest day is the winter solstice, and the shadow with moderate length is the vernal equinox or autumnal equinox. The Book of History in the Spring and Autumn Period recorded the solar terms. There were only four solar terms in Shang dynasty, while there were eight solar terms in Zhou dynasty.

The names of the twenty-four solar terms first appeared in Liu An's "Instructions of Huainan Tian Zi" in the Western Han Dynasty, and the concepts of Yin and Yang, four seasons, eight places, twelve degrees and twenty-four solar terms were also mentioned in the preface to Historical Records Taishi Gong. In BC 104, the calendar edited by Luo and Deng officially set 24 solar terms in the calendar, and defined the astronomical position of the 24 solar terms. It is also stipulated that the month without neutral gas is designated as the leap month of last month.
