Twenty-Four Solar Terms
二十四节气
Warring States period (5th–2nd century BCE)
The Twenty-Four Solar Terms is a traditional Chinese calendar system developed through careful observation of the sun's annual motion. It divides the year into 24 segments, each approximately 15 days long, that guide agricultural activities, seasonal eating, and daily life. Terms like "Spring Equinox," "Grain Rain," and "Winter Solstice" reflect the deep connection between Chinese culture and the natural world.
