Is solar term song a patriotic ancient poem?

Solar term song does not belong to patriotic ancient poetry. "Twenty-four solar term song" is a poem compiled for the convenience of remembering the twenty-four solar terms in the ancient calendar of China. Many versions have been circulated and sung everywhere.

Song Synopsis: Most Hakkas make a living by farming, especially planting rice, which has become a part of Hakkas' life. The twenty-four solar terms are something that everyone who cultivates land must know. This song also lets friends who have never farmed know what every farmer is doing in these 24 solar terms.

Twenty-four solar terms refer to 24 specific festivals in the solar calendar, indicating the change of seasons. They are formulated according to the change of the earth's position on the ecliptic (that is, the earth's orbit around the sun), and each solar term corresponds to a certain position that the earth reaches every time it runs 15 on the ecliptic. Twenty-four solar terms are to understand the changing rules of seasons, climate and phenology in a year by observing the movement of the sun in a year.

The twenty-four solar terms were formulated by the ancients according to the ecliptic plane, which reflected the influence of the sun on the earth and belonged to the solar calendar category. It is an important part of the long history and culture of the Chinese nation and embodies the historical and cultural essence of Chinese civilization. Twenty-four solar terms were established in ancient times, and were absorbed into taichu calendar law in Han Dynasty as a supplementary calendar to guide farming.
