Twelve solar term song

Spring rains shake spring and clear valleys,

Summer is full of mountains, and summer is connected.

Autumn dew and autumn frost,

It snows in winter, it snows in winter, and it's a little cold in winter.

Two festivals in a month remain unchanged,

A day or two at most.

In the first half of this year,

The second half of the year is August 23rd.

"Twenty-four solar term song" is a small poem compiled for the convenience of remembering the twenty-four solar terms in the ancient calendar of China, and there are many versions circulating. Solar terms refer to the 24 solar terms and climate. It is a calendar made in ancient China to express seasonal changes and guide farming. It is the crystallization of the long-term experience and wisdom of the ancient working people in China.

Because the lunar calendar in China is a kind of "yin and yang calendar", which is based on the movement of the sun and the moon, it can't fully reflect the solar cycle. But China is an agricultural society, and agriculture needs a strict understanding of the movement of the sun, so farming is entirely based on the sun. Therefore, the "twenty-four solar terms" that reflect the solar cycle alone are added to the calendar as the standard for determining leap months.
