Origin of the festival:

China's astrological culture has a long and profound history, and the 24 solar terms were initially formulated on the basis of the rotation of the stars, and the seven stars of the Big Dipper would point to different directions at different times in different seasons, that is, the so-called "the handle of the dipper points to the east, the world is all in spring; the handle of the dipper points to the west, the world is all in summer; The seven stars of the Big Dipper point to different directions at different times of the day and night.

The "twenty-four seasons" is a product of the ancient farming civilization, which is linked to the dry time and gossip, and has a long history of origin. The "24 Solar Terms" were absorbed into the "Taichu Calendar" as a supplement to the calendar for guiding farming in the northern central plains, and the "24 Solar Terms" were measured in the Yellow River Basin by the earth-gui method of measuring the sun's shadow.

The current "twenty-four solar terms" are based on the position of the sun on the ecliptic, i.e., on a 360-degree circle called the "ecliptic" (the sun's apparent path on the celestial sphere during the year), with the vernal equinox as the 0-degree point of departure, and every 15-degree run on the ecliptic as the starting point, and every 15-degree run on the ecliptic as the starting point. Every 15 degrees on the ecliptic is a "festival". In the development of inheritance, the twenty-four solar terms were included in the lunar calendar and became an important part of the lunar calendar.
