Extended data
The origin of solar terms:
Twenty-four solar terms were formulated by ancient people according to the position change of the earth on the ecliptic (that is, the orbit of the earth around the sun), and each solar term corresponds to the climate law that the sun reaches a certain position every time it runs 15 on the ecliptic.
The earth's orbit around the sun was named "ecliptic" by the ancients, also known as "solar ecliptic". The ecliptic is divided into 24 equal parts, separated by 15, forming 24 solar terms. The 24 solar terms are actually 24 solar terms, 2 per month.
Twenty-four solar terms take the earth's revolution around the sun as a cycle, which basically summarizes the different positions of the sun on the ecliptic at different times of the year, the exact time of cold coming and summer going, the laws of natural phenomena such as rainfall and snowfall, and the time of recording some phenological phenomena in nature.
The start date of the 24 solar terms in China's solar calendar is almost the same as that in the international Gregorian calendar, with a difference of one or two days at most, which is precisely because the solar calendar, like the Gregorian calendar, is based on the fact that the earth revolves around the sun once a year.
The dry calendar is related to the periodic motion of the earth around the sun, and its year, month and day are all determined by the apparent motion of the sun, regardless of the moon phase. But it is different from the usual solar calendar (such as Gregorian calendar). The length of the solar calendar is artificially specified and has nothing to do with the astronomical phenomena, so it is a solar calendar with China characteristics.
