Reader comments
The twenty-four solar terms originated from the Yellow River Basin, began in the Spring and Autumn Period, and were established in the Qin and Han Dynasties. "Spring rain shocks the clear valley sky in spring, summer is full of awns and summer heat is connected. Autumn is exposed, autumn is cold and frost falls, winter is snowing and winter is cold." These solar terms songs have been memorized since childhood, and they are so familiar that they cannot be more familiar. This book not only introduces the twenty-four solar terms, but also roughly covers the related calendar, phenology, agricultural characteristics, lunar festivals, folk customs, life and health, folk proverbs, poetry appreciation, etc. Although it is not detailed enough, it is comprehensive. However, the content in the book is repetitive, so just skim through it when reading!
The twenty-four solar terms are a unique creation of ancient Chinese people. For more than a thousand years, the ancients have summarized a set of changing laws based on long-term observations of the stars and climate, and used them to arrange family life and social activities such as farming and etiquette. It is still a relatively reliable reference standard today. According to the flow of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the author successively introduces the representations of these solar terms, their manifestations in different regions of our country, and the arrangements people make accordingly, as well as related literary works. It is a good popular science work.
They always arrange their farming activities according to the solar terms, just like what is said in the book. Now I understand that this is the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors. This book is a good read for people like me who are interested in traditional culture. It not only introduces the knowledge of the twenty-four solar terms, but also comes with many colorful pictures, which is very touching. I think this book is valuable and worth reading.
On November 30, 2016, the Twenty-Four Solar Terms were officially included in the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. In the international meteorological community, the twenty-four solar terms are known as "China's fifth greatest invention." The twenty-four solar terms were completely established during the Qin and Han Dynasties, and their name first appeared in the book "Huainanzi" written by Liu An in the Western Han Dynasty. It has condensed the wisdom of the Chinese nation for thousands of years and has widely affected the production and life of the working people. I benefited a lot from reading it.
Very good, clear and well explained!
The twenty-four solar terms are the very important wisdom of ancient Chinese farmers for farming, and are also the crystallization of the excellent traditional Chinese culture. By observing the sun, moon and some galaxies, ancient people have discovered the changes in seasons and temperatures, which are very helpful for them to arrange the work of the land and choose items for farming according to the farming season. It can be said that the twenty-four solar terms have allowed our agriculture to develop and ancient Chinese culture to be maintained.
Very good, very good, very good

This book can teach people to understand nature. The wisdom of our ancestors is amazing!
