章節(jié)摘錄

　　Starting from the point of Spring Equinox，a solar term will be formed every time the Sun travels 15 degrees，and a tropical year will be formed when it returns to the same point after making one revolution （360 degrees）.In this way，there are 2 solar terms in a month and 24 solar terms in a year.The calendar dates of the 24 solar terms are approximately the same each year:around the 6th and the 21st in the first half of the year，and around the 8th and the 23rd in the second half of the year.　　In China， a large agricultural country，agriculture has very close relationship with weather，so the ancients began observing the relationship between the farming season and climate， and accumulated rich experience.　　From the title point of view，the 24 solar terms mostly reflect the change of climate，while the others indicate phenomenology and farming activities.　　The Beginning of Spring，the Beginning of Summer，the Beginning of Autumn and the Beginning of Winter respectively indicate the beginning of the four seasons.　　The Spring Equinox and the Autumnal Equinox mean the time of equal length　　between day and night，refiecting the change of the Sun's path.On the day of the Spring Equinox，the direct rays of the sun shine on the northern part，so that the northern hemisphere begins to have longer days and shorter nights.On the day of the Autumnal Equinox，the direct rays of the sun shine on the southern part，so that the northern hemisphere begins to have shorter days and longer nights.　　The Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice mark the seasonal apex.On the day of the Summer Solstice，the northern hemisphere has the longest day-called "Ribeizhi"by the ancients-meaning the day when the sun travels to its northernmost point.After the Summer Solstice，as the sun gradually moves south，the northern hemisphere has shorter and shorter days and longer and longer nights.　　……
