2. Twenty-four solar terms refer to 24 special festivals in the China lunar calendar, which indicate the seasonal changes. They are formulated according to the position change of the earth on the ecliptic (that is, the orbit of the earth around the sun), and each one corresponds to a certain position reached by the earth every time it moves 15 on the ecliptic.
3. In ancient China, the sundial was measured by earth gauge, and the longest shadow was defined as "solstice" (also known as long day to day, long day to day and winter solstice), and the shortest shadow was "short day to day" (also known as short day to day and summer solstice).
4. One day in spring and autumn has the same length of day and night, which is designated as "vernal equinox" and "autumnal equinox".
