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. 2
