What does it mean to add 24 solar terms to the zodiac?

The zodiac can record the moon, while the 24 solar terms are produced to meet the needs of farming season, and the moon can also be recorded, but it can be divided into more details, such as beginning of spring, rain, fright and so on. And each solar term has a specific meaning, indicating the change of the relationship between the sun and the land, climate conditions and everything.

Some solar terms reflect the change of the relative angle between the sun and the earth, some solar terms reflect the change of climatic conditions such as rain, snow, frost and dew, and some solar terms reflect the change of phenological conditions such as plant growth and animal activities.

In ancient China, the 24 solar terms reflected the agricultural and climatic conditions in the Yellow River basin. Climate change is not only related to the growth of plants, but also closely related to the growth, development and activities of animals.

Therefore, the 24 solar terms not only have a great influence on human activities and growth, but also on the activities of rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs.

There are 24 solar terms in a year, and there is generally one solar term in a month. The average time between every two solar terms is about 30 4/ 10 days, while the number of days in the lunar calendar is 29 and a half days. So every 34 months, there are bound to be two months when only festivals have no breath, and there is breath and no breath.

The relationship between the 24 solar terms of the China Zodiac and agriculture: a month without festivals is a leap month in the lunar calendar, and a month without festivals is not a leap month. According to the lunar calendar, each lunar calendar generally corresponds to two solar terms.

Twenty-four solar terms and the zodiac: Twenty-four solar terms refer to the zodiac signs in the zodiac, and the corresponding relationship between the twenty-four solar terms and the zodiac signs.

There are twelve months in a year; In twelve months, there are twenty-four solar terms. There are corresponding animals in the year: mouse (son), cow (ugly), tiger (yin), rabbit (hair), dragon (Chen), snake (Si), horse (noon), sheep (Wei), monkey (Shen), chicken (unitary), dog (Xu), and so on.

There are corresponding animals in December, but they don't start with "mouse", but: in the first month, the tiger (yin); February, rabbit (wool); March, Dragon (Chen), April, Snake (Si), May, Horse (Noon), June, Sheep (Wei), Monkey (Shen) July, Chicken (You) August, Dog (Xu) September and Pig (Hai) October; 1 1 month, rats (children); In December, the cow (ugly).

It also makes sense to explain each month with the characteristics of animal activities. Such as "Tiger Moon", that is, the first month of the lunar calendar, which is equivalent to about February in the solar calendar. Before the end of winter, Yuan Ye was snowy and bare, and there were few small animals. The hungry tiger went out of the mountain forest in search of food. The tiger's roar spread all over the field, leaving a deep impression on people. So this month was designated as "Tiger Month". February in the lunar calendar is equivalent to March in the solar calendar. Although the spring is chilly, the grass turns over the soil in sunny places. At this time, the first small animal that broke into people's sight was the rabbit. Therefore, this month is called "Rabbit Month".

In this regard, it was foggy in March, and the dragon suddenly appeared; When April is warm, the snake comes out of the hole; The grass grows on the moon and people are happy; In June, the vegetation is lush and the sheep are everywhere; In July, the fruit is ripe and the monkeys are full; Mid-autumn festival in August, killing chickens and drinking; Harvest in September, anti-theft; It is cool in October and autumn, and the fat pigs are full of circles; 1 1 It snows every month and there are mice at home; /kloc-in October/February, the north wind roared, and the cows should have a rest after busy farm work in spring, summer and autumn.

The first month of the lunar calendar (Year of the Tiger)-the beginning of the spring rain; The first day of February (rabbit)-fright, vernal equinox;

March (Dragon)-Qingming and Grain Rain; April 3 (Snake)-Long Summer and Xiaoman;

May afternoon (horse)-awn seeds and summer solstice; At the end of June (sheep)-light summer heat and great summer heat;
