The solar terms in the traditional calendar depend on the periodic changes of the orbital position of the earth around the sun, which belongs to the solar calendar category. On the basis of determining the year, it divides a year into four stages by using vernal equinox, summer solstice, autumn equinox and winter solstice, and then divides each stage into three parts, one of which is about fifteen days, so there are twenty-four short segments, resulting in twenty-four solar terms.
