Flower letters of slight cold solar terms

Twenty-four, also known as twenty-four winds, is called Xin, because it is the wind that comes in response to flowering. This is the concept of solar terms put forward by the ancients in China, which is used to summarize the flowers during the period from slight cold to Grain Rain in the 24 solar terms. So, after the wind blows, which flowers bloom? What exactly does twenty-four Hua Xinfeng mean?

Introduction to Hua Xinfeng:

Flower letter, that is, the flowering period marked by flowers, is also called "Hua Xinfeng", because the wind will come in the flowering period, which is the news that the wind announces flowering. In ancient China, there were eight solar terms in one hundred and twenty days. Every five days was a waiting period and twenty-four days was a calculation period. Among the plants waiting for flowering, people choose a plant with the most accurate flowering period as the representative. This plant is called Twenty-four Flowers Letter, which records the events of flowers and expresses the language of climate change.

The 24-letter letter indicates that there are two solar terms in each month, and each solar term has three periods, each with five days. Every five days, there is a flower letter, that is, every five days, there is a flower in full bloom, that is, Hua Xinfeng waits for two days in January. Whenever Hua Xinfeng is waiting for flowers to bloom, flowers are in full bloom around Grain Rain, with colorful fragrance everywhere and spring everywhere. Azadirachta came last, indicating that Azadirachta was over.

According to this record, the plum blossom in Hua Xinfeng is the first and the azadirachta flower is the last. After twenty-four trips to Hua Xinfeng, the summer that started with a long summer came. Twenty-four flower letters not only reflect the natural phenomena of flower blooming and seasons, but also can be used to master farming time and arrange farming.
