Solar term course

"Every solar term has different characteristics, and different characteristics will bring different mentality and culture. For example, the summer solstice is very different from the winter solstice. On the solstice of summer, the whole person is outgoing. We will go to the Milky Way with curiosity to see meteors and listen to the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl or the natural universe. On the solstice of winter, we will look inward for family warmth and good relations, so we will package jiaozi together and spend the holidays at home. Including the vernal equinox and the autumnal equinox are also different. The vernal equinox is an exhalation. When spring comes, everything grows, and the whole person is more energetic, so he will go for an outing and worship his ancestors at Qingming Festival. However, when the autumn equinox leaves, people's spirit is in a sinking state, so they will climb mountains, enjoy the sunrise and sunset, and experience the inner feelings from fruit harvest. "

"The value of solar terms for early childhood education has a third level, which is to help children establish national self-confidence and inherit the national spirit. Because our Chinese nation has such observation and wisdom, the 24 solar terms are also an important element of our farming culture. When we continue to bring these activities to children, we are actually constantly emphasizing that we are China people, we are proud of our wisdom, and we have integrated these cultures and wisdom into our lives.
