:Lol: Spring rain awakens spring; clear skies mark the start of the grain-growing season. Summer reaches its peak, followed by hot weather； In autumn, there is dew and cold; in frosty seasons, there is snow. In winter, there is snow, as well as periods of mild and severe cold ； The date of the daily rain festival is fixed; the master rarely misses by a day or two. \"Qingming\" by Du Mu (Tang Dynasty): During the Qingming festival, rain falls in torrents; those on the roads are filled with sorrow. Where can I find a tavern? The shepherd boy points afar to Apricot Flower Village. The Huainanzi: Tianwen Xun states: “Fifteen days after the Spring Equinox, when the Big Dipper points to Yi, the Qingming winds arrive.” ” According to \"Hundred Questions on the Seasons,\" \"At this time, all things grow and become clean and pure.\" Thus it is called Qingming. ” Hence, there are agricultural proverbs such as “Plant melons and beans around the Qingming Festival” and “There is no better time than Qingming for planting trees.” Song of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms: Spring rain awakens spring; Clear and Grain Rain follow. Summer Solstice, Grain in Ear, and Heat bring one after another. Autumnal Equinox, Harvest Moon, and Frost’s Descent follow in sequence. Winter Snow, Minor Cold, and Major Cold mark the end of winter. A seven-character poem on the twenty-four solar terms: The Earth orbits the Sun, and one full orbit takes one year. A year is divided into twelve months, with twenty-four solar terms connected in sequence. According to the lunar calendar, the two solar terms remain unchanged each month. The first half is 6 and Gan 1, while the second half is 8 and Gan 3. These are the festival dates; they differ by only one or two days. The 24 solar terms follow a specific order; keep the following mnemonic in mind: In January, Minor Cold is followed by Major Cold; in February, Start of Spring is followed by Rain Water ； The Awakening of Insects and the Vernal Equinox fall in March, while Qingming and Grain Rain occur in April ； In May, there are Lixia and Xiaoman; in June, there are Mangzhong and Xiazhi ； Major and Minor Heat in July, the Beginning of Autumn and End of Autumn in August ； White Dew follows Autumnal Equinox in September, while Cold Dew and Frost’s Descent cover the entire month of October ； Minor Snow and Major Snow come in November, while Winter Solstice ushers in the New Year. Seize the season to work hard in production; plant and harvest in a timely manner to ensure a good harvest. With the spread of the Chinese calendar, the 24 solar terms have reached many parts of the world. Start of Spring: \"Li\" means beginning, and the Start of Spring is the beginning of spring. Rainfall: Rain begins to fall, with the amount of rain increasing gradually. Jingzhe: Zhe means to hide. Jingzhe refers to the time when spring thunder begins to sound, awakening the animals that have been hibernating in the soil. Vernal Equinox: \"Equinox\" means division into equal parts. The vernal equinox marks the equal length of day and night. Qingming: The weather is clear and the vegetation is lush. Grain Rain: Rain nurtures all grains. With sufficient and timely rainfall, cereal crops can thrive. Start of Summer: the beginning of the summer season. Xiaoman: The grains of summer-ripening crops such as wheat begin to fill out. Grain in Ear: Crops with awns, such as wheat, reach maturity. Summer Solstice: The hot summer arrives. Minor Heat: \"Shu\" means heat. Minor Heat marks the onset of hot weather. Major Heat: the hottest time of the year. Start of autumn: the beginning of the autumn season. Chushu: Chu means to end or hide. Chushu marks the end of the hot summer days. White Dew: The weather turns cooler, and dew forms, appearing white. Autumn Equinox: Day and night are of equal length. Cold Dew: The dew is cold, on the verge of freezing. Frost’s Descent: The weather turns colder, and frost begins to appear. Start of winter: the beginning of the winter season. Light snow: It’s starting to snow. Heavy snow: Increased snowfall, with snow potentially accumulating on the ground. Winter Solstice: The cold winter arrives. Minor Cold: The climate begins to turn cold. Great Cold: the coldest time of the year. The 24 solar terms originated in the Yellow River basin. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, four solar terms were established: mid-spring, mid-summer, mid-autumn, and mid-winter. With continuous improvements and refinements over time, by the Qin and Han dynasties, the twenty-four solar terms had been fully established. In 104 BC, the Taichu Calendar, formulated by Deng Ping and others, officially established the twenty-four solar terms in the calendar, specifying their astronomical positions. The time elapsed as the Sun moves 15 degrees along the ecliptic longitude, starting from 0 degrees of ecliptic longitude, is called \"an solar term\". It operates 360 degrees per year, going through 24 solar terms in total, 2 per month. Among them, the first solar term of each month is referred to as a \"solar term\", namely: Start of Spring, Awakening of Insects, Clear and Bright, Start of Summer, Grain in Ear, Minor Heat, Start of Autumn, White Dew, Cold Dew, Start of Winter, Heavy Snow, and Minor Cold – a total of 12 such solar terms ； The second solar term of each month is called the \"central qi\" term; these include the 12 solar terms such as Rain Water, Spring Equinox, Grain Rain, Lesser Fullness, Summer Solstice, Greater Heat, End of Heat, Autumn Equinox, Frost’s Descent, Lesser Snow, Winter Solstice, and Greater Cold. “\"Solar terms\" and \"mid-term points\" alternate, each lasting 15 days; nowadays, they are collectively referred to as \"solar terms\". The 24 solar terms reflect the annual apparent motion of the Sun; therefore, their dates in the current Gregorian calendar remain relatively fixed, falling on the 6th and 21st in the first half of the year, and on the 8th and 23rd in the second half, with a variation of no more than 1–2 days.
