The solar term significance of the twenty-four solar terms in the lunar calendar

Some of the 24 solar terms have gradually become popular festivals, and combined with folk customs, they have developed into festival culture with distinctive regional characteristics. For example, the winter solstice festival, after thousands of years of development, has formed a unique seasonal food culture. A more common custom is to eat wonton and mutton on the solstice in winter. Up to now, there is still a tradition of offering sacrifices to ancestors from winter to daily use in Taiwan Province Province, China, to show that we will never forget our ancestors and our "roots".

Finally, the application of the 24 solar terms for the world's "non-legacy" is a project that conforms to the development trend of human civilization. The twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar are the imprint of the farming civilization of the Yellow River flowing for thousands of years, the precipitation of the wisdom of the ancient working people in China, the unprecedented achievement of human astronomy and farming technology, and the milestone of human respect for nature and freedom. It should go abroad, show the world China's ancient creation, rich and diverse folk culture and arts, and inject the genes of China's traditional culture into world civilization. As early as May 2006, the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar were selected into the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists. April 20 14, the Ministry of Culture of China officially began to declare the "24 solar terms" to UNESCO's "Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity", which is a project that conforms to natural conditions and adapts to local conditions. I look forward to the early success of applying for the world's "non-legacy" in the 24 solar terms, and I look forward to the flowers of oriental wisdom blooming again.
