The meaning of the 24 solar terms is explained as follows:

1. Beginning of Spring: It is the beginning of spring, which means that the harsh winter has passed and the temperature has begun to rise.

2. Rain: This marks the gradual disappearance of ice and snow in most areas of our country, rising temperatures, increased humidity, and increasing rainfall.

3. Jingzhe: sting means hiding. Animals hibernate in the ground and are called hibernation. They crawl out after the spring rain in the second year. In ancient times, they thought they were shaken by thunder, so they called it hibernation. At this time, the weather gets warmer and most areas of our country enter the spring plowing season. A farmer's proverb in Central China says: After the Jingzhe Festival, spring plowing will not stop.

4. Vernal Equinox: The Vernal Equinox is exactly the day when the sun shines directly on the equator and day and night are half day. On this day, day and night are almost the same length all over the country. Astronomically, the vernal equinox marks the beginning of spring in the northern hemisphere, and overwintering crops in most areas of my country enter the spring growth stage.

5. Qingming Festival: The weather gets warmer during the Qingming Festival. The average temperature in most areas of the Yellow River Basin rises to above 10 degrees, and the temperature in the Yangtze River Basin is even higher. The vegetation in the north is sprouting and turning green, and the land in the south is covered in green. Chinese farmer proverb says: Planting trees and afforestation is better than planting melons and beans before and after Qingming Festival. The first day of this solar term is Qingming Festival, and there is a custom of outing and sweeping graves.

6. Grain Rain: During Grain Rain, the air temperature and ground temperature have steadily increased, and the rainfall has increased, which is conducive to the growth of grains, so there is a saying that rain produces hundreds of grains.

7. Beginning of Summer: It means the end of spring and the coming of summer, and it is about to enter the hot summer. At this time, all things grow more vigorously and flourish. Field management is increasingly busy. The farmer's proverb says: In the three dynasties of Beginning of Summer, the fields were hoeed.

8. Xiaoman: The meaning is that the grains of summer-ripened crops have begun to fill and become full, but they are not yet mature. They are only slightly full, not yet full.

9. Ear seeds: refers to summer crops such as wheat and silk peas with awns. They are about to mature during this solar term, and it is also time to harvest and save seeds. Southern my country will also enter the rainy yellow plum season.

10. Summer Solstice: On this day, the northern hemisphere has the longest day and the shortest night. It is also called the northern solstice, which is the day when the sun reaches its northernmost point. The summer solstice is astronomically designated as the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.

11. Xiaoshu: This is the first period of the summer, and the climate is hot and steamy. In agricultural production, we are mostly busy with field management of summer and autumn crops.

12. Great Heat: This is the period when most parts of my country enter the hottest period of the year.

13. Beginning of Autumn: Traditionally regarded as the beginning of autumn in our country, it heralds that the weather will turn cooler, plants will bear fruit, and the autumn harvest season is coming. However, the heat has not dissipated after the beginning of autumn, and the hotter autumn is still behind.

14. Chushu: "Collection of the Seventy-two Hours of the Moon Order": Chu means stopping. The heat has stopped now. Since then, the temperature has gradually dropped in most parts of my country.

15. White dew: The weather turns cooler and the temperature difference between day and night increases. The water vapor on the ground easily forms white dew on the vegetation at night, so it is named white dew.

16. Autumnal Equinox: The autumnal equinox is the same day as the spring equinox. The sun shines directly on the equator, and the day and night are almost equal in length. The autumnal equinox is in the middle of the entire autumn, so it can be said to be a true autumn.

17. Cold dew: The temperature continues to drop, and the weather becomes obviously cooler, with cold dew condensing in the morning and at night. Autumn harvest and autumn planting have begun in most areas of our country.

18. Frost's Descent: "Explanation of the Seventy-two Collections of the Moon Order": In mid-September, the air is solemn and condensed, and the dew turns into frost. Indicates the beginning of frost in the Central Plains.

19. Beginning of Winter: It is the beginning of winter, when the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River are about to freeze.

20. Xiaoxue: "Explanation of the Seventy-Two Episodes of the Moon Order": In mid-October, when it rains, the air conditioner is thin, so it condenses into snow, and the small ones are not full. At this time, it usually starts to snow in the Yellow River Basin.

21. Heavy snow: "Explanation of the Seventy-Two Episodes of the Moon Order": The big ones are prosperous, and the snow is abundant at this time. The weather at this time is colder than before, and the number and amount of snowfall will also increase.

22. Winter Solstice: Contrary to the summer solstice, the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere has the shortest day, the longest sunshine and shadows, and the longest night. After the winter solstice, the days have grown day by day. There is a folk saying in the north that eating noodles during the Winter Solstice will make you grow longer every day.

23. Xiaohan: It is the time of year when the temperature has reached the severe winter. It is around March 9th, when most parts of our country are freezing and entering the severe winter period.

24. The Great Cold: It is the coldest period of the year. Compared with the Minor Cold, it marks the continuation and intensification of severe cold. "Sanli Yi Zong" says: The cold air is the opposite extreme, so it is called the Great Cold.
