The 24th birthday is closely related to the 24th solar terms.

Our life is guided by the 24 solar terms. Guiding agricultural activities affects the food, clothing, housing and transportation of thousands of families. Only when the farm work is arranged will the harvest come naturally. We are blessed with food and shelter. If you miss the production season, you won't be able to get a bumper harvest of food and have a full stomach. What about longevity?
The 24th birthday is related to the 24th exercise. In Huangdi Neijing, there is a health care concept of "harmony between man and nature, adapting to the four seasons". In other words, learning to arrange exercise reasonably according to the natural climate characteristics throughout the year can achieve the purpose of health preservation. If we can work out a fitness program suitable for each solar term according to the climate characteristics of different seasons and solar terms, we can bring the fitness exercise to the extreme and achieve the effects of exercising, staying away from diseases and prolonging life.

Twenty-four longevity is related to twenty-four Hua Xinfeng. In ancient China, five days was a cycle and three cycles were a solar term. Every winter comes and spring comes, there are 24 seasons in the eight solar terms from slight cold to Grain Rain, and some kinds of flowers are in full bloom in each season, so it is called "24 Hua Xinfeng".
Hua Xinfeng, in response to the wind from flowering. According to the solar terms of the lunar calendar, from slight cold to Grain Rain, * * * eight qi, one hundred and twenty days. Breathing once every fifteen days is divided into three periods, and breathing * * * twenty-four times every five days, each period should be a flower. The order is:
Slight cold: plum blossom, camellia, narcissus;
Great cold: Daphne odora, orchid and alum in Phnom Penh;
Beginning of spring: Spring Festival, cherry blossoms, spring;
Rain: first-class cauliflower, second-class apricot flower, third-class plum flower;
Surprise: waiting for peach blossoms, waiting for Tang Di, waiting for roses;
Vernal equinox: once begonia, twice pear and three magnolia;
Qingming: first-class tung flower, second-class wheat flower, third-class willow flower;
Grain Rain: One peony, two tea buds and three neem flowers.
Farmers can arrange farming activities according to each flowering time, because each flowering time corresponds to 24 solar terms.
It should cost money, casting and refining brass in the middle of Qing dynasty, which is warm and delicate, passed down from generation to generation and beautiful.
I think the ancients cast this money for people to wear on their bodies, reminding them not to forget the 24 solar terms, not to miss farm work, and to keep in good health on time in order to achieve a better wish of happiness and longevity.
