What are the twelve solar terms?

Twenty-four solar terms are the wisdom accumulated by the working people in ancient China in long-term labor production, which played an important guiding role in agricultural production at that time.

1. Twenty-four solar terms.

Everyone should recite twenty-four solar terms songs. After all, from a very young age, parents and teachers will consciously or unconsciously instill the 24 solar terms in us.

The full text of the solar terms Song is as follows:

The spring rain shakes the spring and clears the valley, and the summer is full of mountains and summers.

Autumn dew, autumn frost, little snow in winter and cold in winter.

The two festivals remain unchanged every month, with a maximum difference of one or two days.

The first half of the year is June 2 1 day, and the second half is August 23.

Interpretation of the second and twenty-fourth solar terms in Song Dynasty.

1, the first four sentences actually refer to the abbreviations of 24 solar terms in a year, namely: beginning of spring, Rain, Sting, Equinox, Qingming, Grain Rain, Changxia, Xiaoman, Mangzhong, Summer Solstice, Xiaoshu, Dashu, beginning of autumn, Chushu, Bailu, Autumnal Equinox, Cold Dew, First Frost, beginning of winter, and so on.

There are twenty-four solar terms throughout the year, and each season includes six solar terms.

2. The last four sentences explain the laws between the 24 solar terms.

There are two solar terms every month, which are fixed. As for the specific date, it may be a day or two before and after.

The first half of the year is June 2 1 day, and the second half is August 23. These two sentences are about the specific date of each month's solar terms. The solar terms in the first half of the year are basically on the 6th and 21st of the lunar month, while those in the second half are generally on the 8th and 23rd of the lunar month.

The working people in ancient times can calculate the agricultural time according to the 24 solar terms, and the things to be done in each solar term are basically the same. Even some solar terms themselves are named after farming time, such as Grain Rain.

There is another saying among the common people: Before and after Grain Rain, melons and beans were planted. The meaning of this sentence is easy to understand, that is, this season happens to be the season of planting crops in Grain Rain, and Grain Rain is actually the time for farmers to sow millet. This solar term is quite accurate. As for planting melons and beans, they are basically in this solar term, and it is not a few days before and after.

The twelve solar terms are definitely wrong. There are twenty-four solar terms circulating in China. In fact, these solar terms are mainly the climatic characteristics of the northern region. If it is a farmer in the south, it is estimated that no one has heard of it.

The Yellow River Basin is the cradle of Chinese civilization, and most of the wisdom left by our ancestors is developed and spread from the Yellow River Basin. 24 solar terms is actually the change of the northern hemisphere in spring, summer, autumn and winter during the earth's revolution around the sun, and each stage has its own unique characteristics.
