There are 24 solar terms in a year, and different solar terms have different meanings. Many people still don't know much about the significance of the 24 solar terms in life. Let's have a look.
Section 24 means 1. First, it has the prompt significance of time stamp and seasonal change. The twenty-four solar terms are first of all a way of timing, which is a time system in which China people divide the tropical year into twenty-four parts and name them respectively. Together with year (year), hour, month, ten-day, day, hour and hour, it constitutes the basic time unit of traditional China society. The labeling and use of the 24 solar terms means that China keeps up with the world rhythm while maintaining its own characteristics and elements. Not only that, the name of the 24 solar terms itself links the cycle of time with the changes of climate and phenology, among which 8 solar terms reflect the changes of seasons (that is, dichotomy to quartering); The fifth reflects the temperature change (i.e. slight summer heat, severe summer heat, slight cold and severe cold), the seventh reflects the precipitation change (i.e. rain, Grain Rain, white dew, cold dew, early frost, light snow and heavy snow), and the fourth reflects the phenological change (i.e. fright, Qingming, Xiao Man and ear seed), so it has obvious hints of seasonal changes.

The emergence of the twenty-four solar terms is closely related to agricultural production, and it has become an important guide for agricultural production after its formation.

For example, "beginning of winter plowed gold before, beginning of winter plowed silver after, and beginning of spring plowed iron after", and the results brought by plowing before and after beginning of winter and beginning of spring were expressed by "gold", "silver" and "iron", which clearly reflected the different functions of plowing in different solar terms and clearly expressed the guiding opinions of beginning of winter for plowing.

In modern society, on the one hand, with the improvement of material living standards, people pay more and more attention to the safety and health of life; On the other hand, the rhythm of people's life is increasingly divorced from the rhythm of natural time series, which brings a series of problems such as sub-health, prompting people to reflect on anti-natural behavior.

They have spread to this day and become an important basis for people to travel through time and space, feel the natural rhythm with poets and make their lives full of poetry.
Fifth, it has important cultural identity value. Twenty-four solar terms are the primitive culture of the Chinese nation and the wisdom crystallization of ancient people's constant search, cognition and summary in long-term practice. It contains the cosmology and core values of Chinese civilization, which is an important aspect that distinguishes Chinese civilization from other civilizations.
