Extended Information:

The Twenty-four Solar Terms originated in the Yellow River Basin. As far back as the Spring and Autumn Period, the four seasons of mid-spring, mid-summer, mid-autumn and mid-winter were established. Afterwards, it was continuously improved and perfected, and by the Qin and Han Dynasties, the 24 solar terms had been fully established. In 104 B.C.E., the Tai Chu Calendar, which was developed by Deng Ping and others, formalized the 24 solar terms in the calendar and clarified the astronomical positions of the 24 solar terms.

The sun starts from zero degree of yellow longitude, and every 15-degree run along the yellow longitude is called "a solar term". Each year, the sun travels 360 degrees and experiences 24 solar terms, two per month.

Which, the first of the month for the "festival", namely: spring, hibernation, Qingming, summer, mango, small summer, autumn, white dew, cold dew, winter, snow and small cold and other 12 festivals; the second of the month for the "gas", namely: rain, spring equinox, grain, and so on, and so on. The second solar term of each month is called "Zhongqi", which means 12 solar terms: rain, spring equinox, grain rain, small fullness, summer solstice, great summer heat, heat stroke, autumn equinox, frost, light snow, winter solstice and great cold. The "Nodal Qi" and "Middle Qi" alternate, each lasting 15 days, and people have now collectively called "Nodal Qi" and "Middle Qi" as "Nodal Qi" and "Middle Qi".

Twenty-four seasons reflect the sun's annual visual movement, so the festival in the current calendar date is basically fixed, the first half of the 6th, 21st, the second half of the 8th, 23rd, before and after no difference of 1 to 2 days.

Twenty-four solar terms in seven verses

The earth revolves around the sun, and a circle is a year.

The year is divided into twelve months, and the twenty-four seasons are closely linked.

According to the Gregorian calendar, the two solar terms of each month remain unchanged.

The first half of the year is six, Gan 1, and the second half of the year coincides with eight, Gan 3.

These are the intersection festivals, with a difference of no more than a day or two.

Twenty-four festivals are sequential, the following mnemonic in mind:

January cold and cold, February spring rain and water;

Waking hibernation and spring equinox in March, Ching Ming rain in April;

May summer and full, June Mangsiao summer solstice even;

July summer and heat, autumn and summer in August;

September white dew and fall, cold dew and frost October full;

September white dew and fall, cold dew and frost October full;

September white dew and fall.

The winter snow in November and the winter solstice in New Year.

Seasonal busy production, planting and harvesting in time to ensure a good year.
