What are the 24 solar terms?

China was a society dominated by agriculture in ancient times, and the development of agriculture needed to know the movement of the sun. Farming is carried out according to the sun, so "twenty-four solar terms" reflecting the solar cycle are added to the calendar as the criteria for determining leap months.

24 solar terms are: beginning of spring, Rainy, Scared, Equinox, Qingming, Grain Rain, Changxia and Xiaoman? , Miscanthus, Summer Solstice, Little Summer, Big Summer, beginning of autumn, Chushu, Millennium, Autumnal Equinox, Cold Dew, First Frost, beginning of winter, Light Snow, Heavy Snow, Winter Solstice, Slight Cold and Severe Cold.

Solar terms refer to the twenty-four solar terms and climate, which is a supplementary calendar formulated by China in ancient times to guide farming, and is the crystallization of the long-term experience and wisdom of the working people of the Chinese nation.
