Beginning of spring is the first of the 24 solar terms. What are the 24 solar terms?

There are 24 solar terms in China, and each solar term has a specific meaning. Especially in ancient times, China was still in an agricultural society, and these agricultural activities were closely related to the weather. Therefore, in order to have a good harvest, ancient people engaged in agricultural activities according to the operation of the sun. These 24 solar terms have been passed down to this day, and even been officially listed in the representative list of human intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO. Beginning of spring is the first of the 24 solar terms. When beginning of spring comes, it means that winter is over, spring is coming, and the weather will get warmer gradually. So besides beginning of spring, what are the 24 solar terms? Let me introduce some to you.

Early summer

Long summer is the seventh solar term among the twenty-four solar terms and the first solar term in summer. The arrival of the long summer means bidding farewell to spring. Thunderstorms begin to increase and the weather will get hotter and hotter. At this time, the temperature began to rise, which is very suitable for the growth of everything. Under sufficient sunshine, many crops began to grow and mature wildly, especially rice planting, and began to enter the busiest time.

Grain in Ear

Mango is the ninth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms and the third solar term in summer. What does mango actually mean? Wheat with awns can be harvested quickly, and rice with awns can be planted? We can also imagine the busy degree of ancient agriculture at this time. Compared with long summer, the climate in Mangshan is warmer and the rainfall is more abundant, which is very beneficial to the growth of crops. At this time, the wheat in the north has matured, and the rice in the south has matured and harvested, so it is necessary to sow the rice in the second season.

Major Heat

Summer is the twelfth of the twenty-four solar terms and the last solar term in summer. It is also the hottest time of the year, and the temperature in some places can even be as high as 40 degrees. In the southern region, this time has also entered the period with the most abundant rain in a year. In addition, typhoons and lightning weather also occur frequently.
