I. Description:

The Twenty-four Solar Terms in Chinese Agricultural Calendar, or called the

Twenty-four Solar Terms in a simple way, is the Chinese knowledge of time and practices

developed through observation of the sun's annual motion.

Ancient Chinese divided the circle of the annual motion of the sun into twenty-four equal

segments; each segment was called a ''jie qi" or solar term. Hence, the twenty-four segments

are collectively called the Twenty-four Solar Terms. They are: Beginning of Spring, Rain

Water, Insects Awakening, Spring Equinox, Fresh Green, Grain Rain, Beginning of Summer,

Lesser Fullness, Grain in Ear, Summer Solstice, Lesser Heat, Greater Heat, Beginning of

Autumn, End of Heat, \Vhite Dew, Autumnal Equinox, Cold Dew, First Frost, Beginning of

Winter, Light Snow, Heavy Snow, Winter Solstice, Lesser Cold and Greater Cold.

The Twenty-four Solar Terms originated in the Yellow River reaches. The criteria for its

formulation were the observation of changes of astronomical time sequence, air temperature,

precipitation, as well as other local natural phenomena. It was progressively applied as a time

directory in the production and life of agricultural society. Based on the solar terms, people

spontaneously arrange farming, daily life and their basic needs, and hold seasonal rituals and

folk activities.

As an indispensable component of the traditional Chinese calendars and relevant

practices, the Twenty-four Solar Terms has been passed on for generations and profoundly

influenced Chinese people's \vay of thinking and code of conduct. It is an important carrier of

Chinese cultural identity.

In May 2006, the Twenty-four Solar Terms in Chinese Agricultural Calendar was

included in the first batch of the National List oflntangible Cultural Heritage.
