Son-in-law solar terms

Why is it that people who can't recite the 24 solar terms in ancient times can't even marry their wives? This is mainly related to the ancient economic structure. China was a big agricultural country in ancient times, with agriculture as the mainstay, and agricultural development meant respecting nature. Only by mastering the time of 24 solar terms can we know what to plant in our own fields under each different solar term. Engaged in agricultural production can not be separated from the guidance of 20 solar terms. As the main economic source of the ancients, farming operations can only rely on farming to support their families. Knowing the 20 solar terms, you can plant good land, marry a daughter-in-law, and support your family.

In the twenty-four solar terms, the ancient people of China combined astronomical geography knowledge with practice by observing the movement cycle of the sun, and created an important invention to guide agricultural production, which has been listed in the representative list of human intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO. At the same time, the twenty-four solar terms are recognized by the world as the fifth great invention of China.

The 24 solar terms still play an important role in agricultural production. The twenty-four solar terms that we have to learn since childhood are still of guiding significance to agricultural production in modern society. In most agricultural areas of our country, farmers grow crops according to the 24 solar terms. However, with the continuous advancement of industrialization, informationization and mechanization, farming culture is increasingly facing the crisis of marginalization.

Is it necessary for us to inherit the 24 solar terms? Aside from the 24 solar terms themselves, the cultural connotation behind them is far-reaching. The 24 solar terms play an important role in the inheritance and development of traditional culture in China. They are listed in the representative list of human intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO, and they are the crystallization of hard work and wisdom of the Chinese nation. As a member of the Chinese nation, it is necessary for us to inherit our important historical and cultural heritage.
