Handbook of the 24 Solar Terms

The twenty-four seasons originated in the Yellow River Valley, the crystallization of the long-term experience and wisdom of the ancient Han Chinese working people. As far back as the Spring and Autumn Period, the four solar terms of mid-spring, mid-summer, mid-autumn and mid-winter were set. Later on, it was constantly 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 runs 360 degrees, **** experience 24 seasons, 2 per month. Among them, the first of the month for the "festival", namely: spring, hibernation, Qingming, summer, Mangzao, small summer, autumn, white dew, cold dew, winter, snow and small cold and 12 festivals; the second of the month for the "in the gas", namely: rain, the spring equinox, The second solar term of each month is called "Zhongqi", i.e., the 12 solar terms: rain, spring equinox, Guyu, Xiaoman, summer solstice, Dashu, Shiushu, Autumn Equinox, Frost, Xiaoxue, winter solstice, and Dahan. The "Nodes" and "Mid-qi" alternate, each lasting 15 days, and to date people have collectively referred to the "Nodes" and "Mid-qi" as the "Nodes" and "Mid-qi". and "mid-qi" are now collectively known as "node qi". [2]

In 104 B.C., the Tai Chu Calendar, formulated by Deng Ping, formalized the twenty-four solar terms on the calendar, clarifying the astronomical positions of the twenty-four solar terms.

To make it easier to memorize, people made up a song of the twenty-four solar terms:

The twenty-four solar terms song

Spring rain startles the spring and clears the valley sky, summer is full of mango and summer is connected to summer heat,

Autumn is in the dew in autumn, cold and frost fall in the winter, winter snow and snow, winter and a small big cold.

The twenty-four solar terms in seven verses

The earth revolves around the sun, and one revolution 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 the sixth and twenty-first, and the second half of the year is the eighth and twenty-third.

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

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

January cold and cold, February spring rain and water;

Waking spring equinox in March, the Qingming Valley rain in April;

May summer and full, June Mangsui summer solstice even;

July summer and heat, autumn and summer in August;

September white dew and the autumn equinox, cold dew frost October full;

September white dew and autumn equinox, cold dew and frost October full;

September white dew and autumn equinox, cold dew and frost October full;

September white dew, cold dew and frost October full.

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.

With the spread of the Chinese calendar, the twenty-four solar terms have spread to many parts of the world

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was the concept of the day's southern solstice and the day's northern solstice among the people of China. Subsequently, according to the position of the sun and moon at the beginning of the month and the middle of the month, and natural phenomena such as weather and plant and animal growth, people utilized the relationship between them to divide the year into twenty-four equal parts. And they gave each part a proprietary name, which is the 24 solar terms. To the late Warring States period of the book "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" in the "twelve month period", there is a spring, spring equinox, summer, summer solstice, autumn, autumn equinox, winter, winter solstice and so on the name of the eight seasons. These eight solar terms are the most important of the twenty-four solar terms. These eight solar terms marked the change of seasons and clearly delineated the four seasons of the year. Later, by the time of the book "Huainanzi", the names of the twenty-four solar terms were exactly the same as in modern times.

Some people think that the twenty-four solar terms are subordinate to the lunar calendar, but in fact, they are delineated according to the solar calendar. That is, the year is divided into 24 equal segments based on the position of the sun on the ecliptic. That is, the ecliptic is divided into 24 equal parts, each of which occupies 15° of the ecliptic. Since the time required for the sun to pass through each equal part is almost equal, the calendar dates for the 24 solar terms are roughly the same every year: the first half of the year falls on or around the 6th and 21st, and the second half of the year falls on or around the 8th and 23rd. And there are two mnemonics:

The first half of the year comes on the 6th and 21st,

and the second half comes on the 8th and 23rd.

Anciently, the festival was called "qi", and there were two qi in each month: the first qi was called "jieqi", and the second qi was called "zhongqi". Distribution of the twenty-four solar terms by month in the following table, it has a close relationship with the arrangement of the leap month of the lunar calendar. In the lunar calendar, the first of the twenty-four solar terms is Lichun. The names of the twenty-four solar terms are named according to the place where the Big Dipper points to and the natural climate and landscape at that time. The so-called bucket, is the Big Dipper seven stars in the Kuai, Heng, ladle three stars with the orbit of the celestial body, the bucket pointed to different directions and positions, the position is the representative of the month. Such as the first month for the c, dusk ladle refers to the c, the middle of the night Heng refers to the c, the daytime Kui refers to the c; February for the d, dusk ladle refers to the d, the middle of the night Heng refers to the d, the daytime Kui refers to the d, and the rest of the month, and so on.

Lichun: Lichun means the beginning, and Lichun is the beginning of spring.

Rain: the beginning of rainfall, the amount of rain gradually increased.

Hibernation: Hibernation means hiding. Hibernation means the first stirring of spring thunder, which awakens animals hibernating in the earth.

Spring Equinox: Equinox means equal division. Spring Equinox indicates the equal division of day and night.

Ching Ming: The weather is clear and the grass is lush.

Grain Rain: Rain produces all kinds of grains. With sufficient and timely rain, cereal crops can thrive.

Lixia: the beginning of summer.

Xiaoman: the beginning of fullness of seeds of summer crops such as wheat.

Mangseed: wheat and other awned crops ripen.

Summer Solstice: the arrival of the hot summer.

Small Summer: summer means hot. Xiaosummer is when the climate starts to get hot.

Dazhong: the hottest time of the year.

Autumn: the beginning of fall.

The first heat: the first heat means to end, to hide. The first heat is to indicate the end of the hot summer days.

White Dew: the weather turns cooler and the dew condenses and turns white.

Autumn Equinox: the equal division of day and night.

Cold Dew: the dew is cold and will freeze.

Frost: the weather gets colder and frost starts to form.

Lidong: the beginning of winter.

Little Snow: the beginning of snow.

Large snow: snowfall increases and snow may accumulate on the ground.

Winter Solstice: the onset of cold winter.

Small Cold: the climate starts to get cold.

Daihan: the coldest time of the year.

The 24 solar terms are a discovery of the wisdom of the Chinese ancestors. Nowadays, many people are saying that the 24 solar terms are great, except that they are only suitable for this part of China, or more precisely only for this part of the Yellow River basin in northern China. Any further than that, it's not applicable. Is this true? Let me examine this question by analyzing the names of the 24 solar terms.

First of all, the names of the 24 solar terms in order of sequence, divided into four groups, each group is divided into the front and back of the two halves:

Spring, rain, hibernation, spring equinox, clearing, rain;

Summer, full, mango, summer solstice, heat, summer;

Autumn, heat, white dew, the autumnal equinox, cold dew, frost;

Winter, snow, snow. Winter Solstice, Little Cold, Big Cold.

Such a set out, you can immediately see the first half of the four words after the word stand, followed by the second half of the beginning, and see the "spring, summer, fall and winter" four big words lead. What does this mean? Needless to say, this is to say that spring, summer, fall and winter seasons from the four standing up, standing up is the beginning of it. The second half of "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter" is accompanied by two characters "分", and two characters "至". What does "minute" mean? The simplest form of "division" is "to divide into two", which means that the season is divided into two halves. What about the other two characters "to"? It is easy to misinterpret them as meaning "the end of the season", but we need to be clear about what the end of the season is. Don't think of it as the end of the season, but rather as the end of the sun's journey to the north or south, and the time to turn back. If we look into the original meaning of the word "to," "to" means extreme. For example, when we say "at least," we mean that there can be no more, no less. The summer solstice means that the sun has gone north to the pole and is turning back, but the summer is not over, it has just reached the midpoint. The winter solstice is similar, the sun has just reached the extreme south point and is starting to turn north, halfway through winter.

The eight solstices are usually referred to as the eight seasons. In actuality, they are the four beginnings and eight centuries. They are what define the four seasons. But what do the four seasons mean? Aren't summer hot days? , Isn't winter a cold day? Why is it that at the end of summer there is great heat and at the end of winter there is great cold? Aren't these summers and winters skewed?

This is a valid question. Did the ancients set the seasons askew? Think deeper to understand the mystery.

It turns out that although cold and heat are dependent on the sun's irradiation, the cold and heat that people feel are due to complex reasons, and the sun is not the only determining factor. For example, in a large house with two doors at each end, a fire is brought in from the left door in winter, slowly moved to the right door, and finally brought out from the right door. Wouldn't you say that the house is the warmest when the fire moves to the center? Surely you are saying that no, the temperature is highest when the fire moves to the right door. The reason for this is that it takes time for the fire to dissipate its heat to the air, and when the fire moves to the center, the heat hasn't had time to dissipate. Solar irradiation is similar, and the factors affecting the temperature are much more complex. Therefore, the concept of seasons, when it first occurred, was very simple, based on the direct feelings of mendelevium. When people wanted to define the exact concept of the seasons and wanted to incorporate the concept of the seasons into the calendar, it was recognized that the seasons could not be defined solely on the basis of temperature. Temperatures are not the same everywhere at the same time, nor are they always the same at the same calendar time in different years. Therefore, it was necessary to find the most stable and universally applicable standard for determining the seasons. Our wise ancestors found this standard, that is, the north and south position of the sun. This standard is an astronomical standard. Although the sun's north-south position can not uniquely determine the temperature of a place, but it can generally have a regular rate of influence on the temperature changes during the year. Therefore, it is of practical value to determine the seasons according to the north and south positions of the sun. Of course, the four seasons so determined must be different from the direct sense of the four seasons according to the temperature. Usually the direct sense of the four seasons is called meteorological seasons. Meteorological seasons cannot be used as calendar seasons. But the astronomical seasons can be used as calendar seasons. The meteorological seasons usually lag behind the astronomical seasons, by about three periods in the Yellow River Basin of China, and the seasons defined by the above eight of the 24 solar terms are precisely the astronomical seasons, which are also the calendar seasons. This explains why the summer and winter seasons do not fall in the middle of the summer and winter seasons.

The eight seasons are the skeleton of the 24 solar terms and the skeleton of the calendar. The other sixteen solar terms are the branches or meat on the skeleton. The branches or meat are used as a bridge from the astronomical seasons to the meteorological seasons.

Let's look at the "rain" and "hibernation" that are inserted in thirds between the first day of spring and the vernal equinox. These two names characterize the weather or biology of the first half of spring. It is about to start raining, and the little creatures that have been hiding in the ground for the winter will start to wake up when they hear the call of the sun. Inserted between the vernal equinox and the beginning of summer are "Qingming" and "Guyu". From the phrase "it rains one after another during the Qingming Festival", we can know the weather conditions during the Qingming Festival. From the literal meaning of "valley rain", we can know that this is the season when crops need rain to grow. Between the beginning of summer and the summer solstice, "Xiaoman" and "Mangseo" are inserted. Xiaoman is the time for wheat irrigation, and Mangseed is the busy season for wheat harvesting and fall planting. Between the summer solstice and the beginning of the fall, insert "Xiaoshu" and "Daoshu", which are the hottest months of the year. Between autumn and the autumnal equinox are inserted "the first heat" and "white dew", which are the end of the summer heat and the beginning of the early fall season when dewdrops begin to appear in the morning and evening. Between the autumnal equinox and the winter solstice, insert "cold dew" and "frost", the meaning of which is clear from the words. Between the winter solstice and the winter equinox, insert "light snow" and "heavy snow"; between the winter solstice and the spring solstice, insert "light cold" and "heavy cold". ", its meteorological significance is even clearer, no need to explain. In a word, the sixteen festivals inserted between the eight festivals are used to describe the weather and climate of the Yellow River basin in China. Any other region of the world can imitate the appropriate names for these sixteen solar terms according to the meteorological and physical climatic characteristics of each place, just like the relationship between UTC and zonal time. Therefore, the 24 solar terms are applicable to the whole world. Origin of the 24 Solar Terms

The 24 Solar Terms originated in the Yellow River Valley. As far back as the Spring and Autumn Period, the four solar terms of mid-spring, mid-summer, mid-autumn and mid-winter were set. 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 runs 360 degrees, **** experience 24 seasons, 2 per month. Among them, the first of the month for the "festival", namely: spring, hibernation, Qingming, summer, Mangzao, small summer, autumn, white dew, cold dew, winter, snow and small cold and 12 festivals; the second of the month for the "in the gas", namely: rain, the spring equinox, The second solar term of each month is called "Zhongqi", i.e., the 12 solar terms: rain, spring equinox, grain rain, small full, summer solstice, summer heat, summer heat, autumn equinox, frost, snow, winter solstice, and big cold. The "Nodes" and "Mid-qi" alternate, each lasting 15 days, and people have now collectively referred to the "Nodes" and "Mid-qi" as the "Nodes" and "Mid-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 is the original cultural heritage of China's working people, it can reflect the changes in the seasons, guiding agricultural activities, affecting thousands of families of clothing, food, housing and transportation. Since 2000 years, China's main center of political activity is concentrated in the Yellow River Basin, the twenty-four seasons is also based on the climate of this area, the physical climate as the basis for the establishment of the. Because of the vastness of our country and its varied terrain, the 24 solar terms are only a reference for many regions.

The origin of the "24 solar terms" in the lunar calendar

According to the different positions of the sun in the ecliptic in spring, summer, autumn and winter, the sun is nearly distinguished into 24 different positions, known as the seasonal qi, the ancestors will be the winter solstice to the next winter solstice of the entire return to the annual time is divided into 12 equal parts, each point is called the "in the gas", and then in the gas between the long evenly divided into two, the length of which is divided into two. The time between the middle qi and the next winter solstice was divided into 12 equal parts, each of which was called "zhong qi". These twelve middle qi and twelve nodes are collectively known as the "twenty-four solar terms". In the Western calendar, there are only four seasons: the spring equinox, the summer solstice, the autumn equinox, and the winter solstice, which correspond to the four moments when the sun crosses the equator twice on the ecliptic, and when the sun crosses the equator at its northernmost and southernmost points, and which serve as the centers of the four seasons. On the other hand, the Chinese Lunar Calendar divides the seasons into twenty-four seasons, with the two adjacent seasons corresponding to the sun's 15-degree orbit on the ecliptic. Most of the names of the solar terms reflect the beginning and middle points of the weather, the agricultural time or the seasons, obviously for the convenience of farming, and can be said to reflect the position of the sun, as well as the warmth and coldness of the climate. This concept was developed in the Spring and Autumn period at the latest.

The Earth's orbit around the elliptic orbit, near the perihelion (winter solstice) running faster, and in the aphelion (summer solstice) running slower, so the Earth's point of view, the Sun in the ecliptic running speed is also fast in winter and slow in summer, running 15 degrees of the time required for the natural difference between the two seasons, and therefore the length of time between the two seasons is also different. The winter seasons are denser, while the summer seasons are sparser. The 24 solar terms are divided according to the length of the return year.

In order to reconcile the difference between the regression year (the solar calendar) and the lunar month (the lunar calendar), the lunar calendar calls the twenty-four solar terms even-numbered ones "zhongqi" and odd-numbered ones "node qi", and stipulates that each zhongqi is labeled in a lunar month, e.g., rain must be in the first month, vernal equinox must be in the second month, grain rain must be in the third month, and the rest in the order of precedence. The other month's name must also match the corresponding Zhongqi.

The solstice month is generally shorter than the sun's orbit of 30 degrees on the ecliptic, so after a few months, according to the solstice month row out of the month, there is a round can't be any in the qi, and this month in the lunar calendar is designated as a "leap month", because it does not have a name of the month, so it is still using the name of the month of the previous month, which is called the intercalary month, the month after May 1998 in the lunar calendar, the month of leap. In 1998, the lunar calendar after the month of May, the month (June 24 to July 22) only "small summer" a festival, so it became a "leap month".

The names of the twenty-four solar terms and their symptoms are as follows:

Lichun: Lichun is the beginning of the meaning of spring is stupid, indicating that everything is beginning to be alive, and this day the beginning of spring.

Rain: the beginning of rainfall, rain will be more.

Hibernation: The spring thunderstorms startle the hibernating creatures underground, and they will begin to come out of the ground.

(6) The twenty-four seasons in seven verses

The earth revolves around the sun, and one revolution is one 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 the sixth and twenty-first, and the second half of the year is the eighth and twenty-third.

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

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

January cold and cold, February spring rain and water;

Waking spring equinox in March, the Qingming Valley rain in April;
