English translation rules of the twenty-four solar terms

Twenty-four hours

Twenty-four solar terms are special festivals in the trunk and branch calendars, which indicate the change of natural rhythm and establish "December". They were originally formulated according to the circular rotation law of the Big Dipper. Later, combined with different climate and phenological changes, they absorbed the solar terms as a supplement to the calendar, thus forming today's lunar calendar.
