There are three ways to remember time in this world, one is the solar calendar, and the other is the lunar calendar (24 solar terms). If we roughly divide their differences, the solar calendar is based on the sun and the lunar calendar is based on the moon. Our ancestors were a little greedy and wanted to combine the sun and the moon, so they had the present lunar calendar.
As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, four solar terms were set, namely, mid-spring, mid-summer, mid-autumn and mid-winter. After continuous improvement and perfection, by the Qin and Han Dynasties, the 24 solar terms had been completely established.
Farming civilization is the source of Chinese wisdom, and solar terms condense all the true meaning of farming civilization, so almost all the beauty is contained in solar terms:
"In the spring of March, the grass grows in the south of the Yangtze River, the peanut trees are miscellaneous, and the warblers fly around", which is the south of the Yangtze River in the Qingming period;
"Jian Peijun is pale, and the white dew is frost" is the place where the cold dew in the Central Plains ends and the first frost comes;
"Maodian crows on the moon and frost on the wall", which is the first frost;
When light snow and heavy snow follow, so does cold. What a warm invitation it is to ask "It feels like snow outside at dusk, how about a glass of wine inside".
If you don't understand the 24 solar terms, how can you feel beautiful and warm?
In fact, the 24 solar terms are the language that Mother Nature told us, and also the key to open the treasure house of wisdom of farming civilization. Unfortunately, we have gradually become unfamiliar with solar terms and lost our ability to observe nature. Moreover, children have an innate need to get in touch with nature and soil, so kindergarten teachers' books have compiled some picture books related to the 24 solar terms for everyone, hoping that children can better integrate into nature through the beautiful pictures in the books.
