What are the names of the twenty-four solar terms?

There is a solar term song that summarizes the names and dates of the 24 solar terms to facilitate people's memory: spring rain shocks the spring and clears the valley, summer is full of awns and summer heat is connected; autumn is exposed, autumn is cold and frost falls, winter snows and winter is cold.

The dates of the two festivals of each month are fixed, with a maximum difference of one or two days. The first half of the year is June 21st, and the second half of the year is August 23rd.

Spring is the first of the four seasons. "Gongyang Zhuan": "What is spring? It is also the beginning of the year." "On the first day of spring, the grass sprouts back." As you can see, spring is a movement, which means that all things begin to come to life.

Establishment also means Jianshi.

The spring breeze blows and the rain gradually increases.

"Spring rain is as precious as oil." Spring begins to blow the trees, but to grow trees, water is needed, and rainwater is conducive to agricultural production.

The earth shuddered at four important positions in its orbit, and the spring thunder sounded, disturbing the snakes and insects hibernating underground.

Most areas in our country are entering the busy spring plowing season.

At the vernal equinox, "yin and yang are half in phase, so day and night are even and the cold and heat are equal."

At this time, overwintering crops in most areas of our country enter the spring growth stage.

A farmer's proverb in Central China: "When the wheat rises on the spring equinox, a moment is worth a thousand pieces of gold." Qingming means bright and clean.

The climate in most parts of our country is warm and vegetation is germinating, which has changed the cold and withered grass scene in the recent winter. In various parts of the Yangtze River, it is the season for spring crop sowing and seedling emergence.

Spring is gone and summer is coming, "summer is a holiday, it is forgiving to all things and it is healthy for growth."

It shows that rising temperatures promote the growth and development of all things.

At the beginning of summer, summer is full of joy. The southern country is already full of early summer scenery, and the sky in the north is also filled with catkins to bring spring. Cherry, loquat, and plums are in the market in the south of the Yangtze River. It is "the beginning of summer and the three dynasties of hoeing everywhere."

Xiaoman, "things grow to a hoe, and they are all full."

Wheat and other crops bear abundant and plump fruits. At this time, the grains of summer-heat crops in northern my country are gradually ripening, and the summer harvest and planting season have begun in the south.

Ear sprouts are the time to plant the valley with awns. Wheat and rapeseed are ripe and harvesting begins. Then they are busy sowing and transplanting rice. Farming is busy.

The summer solstice means "solstice", the point where the sun's rays reach the north, where the day is the longest and the night is the shortest.

At this time, crops are growing vigorously, and weeds, diseases and insect pests are spreading. Field management needs to be strengthened. It is precisely this time that "summer solstice cotton field grass is better than a poisonous snake bite."

Xiaoshu means "surge, heat".

Xiaoshu, although the weather is hot, it has not reached the extreme.

Most areas of our country have begun to enter the hot season, and agriculture is busy with field management of summer and autumn crops.

The Great Heat is "extremely hot" and is the hottest solar term of the year.

"The heat is in the three volts", which refers to the period from mid-July to mid-August in the Gregorian calendar.

The Great Heat is around the mid-summer period, which is often the hottest period of the year in most parts of my country. It is also the period when the temperature-loving crops, rice and corn, grow the fastest.

Summer ends and autumn comes. Ancient books say: "Autumn is the time when everything comes to fruition." The crops sown in spring are about to be harvested.

It is the beginning of autumn, the season has entered autumn, the temperature has begun to drop, and after people have worked hard in spring and summer, a good harvest is in sight.

In central my country, early rice is harvested, and late rice is also busy with transplanting and management.

At the end of summer, the word "Chu" means to stop. At this time, the heat of summer gradually subsides or stops, the temperature gradually drops in most parts of our country, and crops begin to gradually turn from green to yellow.

White dew, the weather begins to turn cooler, and the low-altitude water vapor condenses into sparkling dewdrops on the grass.

The Autumn Equinox, "the middle of autumn when the yin and yang are moderate," is the time when day and night are equal again, presenting a golden autumn scene.

Cold dew, the dew is white and then cold, the weather becomes cooler, and the dew becomes colder.

At this time, the weather is cool in most parts of our country, and autumn harvest and autumn planting are carried out.

When frost falls, "the air becomes solemn and condenses, and the dew condenses into frost."

Around the time of frost, the first frost begins in the Yellow River Basin, and the southern region is busy with autumn harvest and autumn planting.

Winter is coming, winter is the end of the four seasons.

"Winter is the end, and everything is collected." At the beginning of winter, the season enters winter, the weather becomes colder, the area north of the Yellow River Basin begins to freeze, and insects hibernate underground.

Farmland water conservancy infrastructure construction is carried out in various places.

Light snow, "it's almost snow due to the cold air". At this time, snow begins to fall in the sky, the trees are withered, and the scenery is desolate.

It's snowing heavily, rain and snow are flying, and the earth is covered with silver.

The big ones are prosperous, and the snow is even worse here.

"Auspicious snow heralds a good year." On the winter solstice, the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Capricorn, making the northern hemisphere's nights the longest and the days the shortest.

"Nine-nine severe cold days", Jiu-jiu is counted from the winter solstice, and each "Nine" is 9 days. From "Nine-Nine" to "Nine-Nine", there are 81 days.

Xiaohan, the weather is suddenly cold, but not extremely cold yet.

Xiaohan is on the 39th day, and the cold is in the "39th".

Low temperature weather often occurs at this time.

Most areas of our country have entered a period of severe cold.

Big cold, extremely cold.

"Three feet of ice is not a day's cold." During the Great Cold, the weather gets even colder. This is the coldest period of the year in most parts of our country.
