Beautiful articles on solar terms

The English versions of the songs of the 24 solar terms are as follows:

Perhaps because I grew up in the countryside, I like the solar terms in the countryside very much. When I was in primary school, I seldom met an old gentleman who had attended a private school. He knows traditional folk songs like the back of his hand.

Classes are often easy to recite, especially the 24 solar terms. I can not only recite, but also explain one by one. Influenced by it, I have always kept in mind that "Spring rains startle the spring and clear the valley, summer is full and summer is summer ..." Although I can't explain it one by one like the old gentleman, I know a little about it.

I still vaguely remember what the old gentleman said: "beginning of spring is also called Da Chun in our countryside, ranking first among the 24 solar terms, which shows its importance and marks the beginning of spring."

On the day of beginning of spring this year, I didn't forget the old man's teaching. On that day, I wrote an essay "Steps of Spring" praising spring: "Today is beginning of spring, and the solar terms of' beginning of spring' are like a bird announcing the arrival of spring. When it comes, we seem to hear the footsteps of spring. Although it was warm and cold at first, it is not so cold now.

The long-awaited spring comes to us quietly and lightly with the east wind. Spring is coming, and the prelude of spring is playing gently.

When it rains, the weather gets warmer, the ice and snow begin to melt, and the precipitation gradually increases. Therefore, "rain" got its name. I admire our clever ancestors, who can name the 24 solar terms and observe these seasons accurately.

Living in the "twenty-four solar terms" of the lunar calendar, we can feel the change of weather and the difference of objects and images, taste the farming civilization of 5,000 years and enjoy the crystallization of wisdom handed down for thousands of years.
