Social Influence of Twenty-four Solar Terms on Song Dynasty

Twenty-four solar terms are the product of ancient agricultural civilization. Agricultural production is closely related to geographical and climatic resources, and superior geographical and climatic resources are an important condition for the birth of agricultural civilization. China is located in the east of Asia-Europe continent and the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, with great differences in thermal properties between land and sea, forming the most typical monsoon climate in the world. Monsoon climate is a mixture of continental climate and maritime climate.

In winter, it is cold, dry and rainy because of the dry and cold air flow in the inland. In summer, it is hot, humid and rainy because of the warm and humid air currents in the ocean. The high temperature period is consistent with the rainy period, and the water and heat match well, which is very beneficial to crop growth. The precipitation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River in China is mainly concentrated in summer, showing the climatic characteristics of rain and heat at the same time.

Climate elements mainly include temperature, precipitation and light. Abundant sunshine, high temperature and abundant precipitation are superior climatic conditions in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River in China, which are suitable for crop growth. Farming civilization was born here, which is the earliest area in China, and the 24 solar terms also originated here.

Twenty-four solar terms not only play a guiding role in agricultural production, but also affect the food, clothing, housing and transportation of ancient people, and even cultural concepts. In the historical development, the 24 solar terms have been incorporated into the lunar calendar and become an important part of the lunar calendar.
