Introduction of the 24 Solar Terms:

The 24 Solar Terms are the calendar terms that represent the changes in natural rhythms and establish the "twelve months of the year". There are four seasons in a year, three months in spring, summer, fall and winter, and two seasons per month, each with its own unique meaning.

The twenty-four solar terms accurately reflect natural rhythmic changes and play an extremely important role in people's daily lives. It is not only a system of seasons that guides agricultural production, but also a system of folklore that contains a wealth of folklore events. The 24 solar terms have a long cultural connotation and historical accumulation, and are an important part of the long history and culture of the Chinese nation.
