By the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24), this had evolved into the 24 Solar Terms we know today, each corresponding to a specific position of the sun on the ecliptic longitude. These terms, divided into 12 major and 12 minor solar terms, provide a detailed roadmap of the year&#8217;s natural phenomena. From the first stirrings of insects in Awakening of Insects (j\u012bng zh\u00e9 \u60ca\u86f0) to the crisp, cool days of Frost&#8217;s Descent (shu\u0101ng ji\u00e0ng \u971c\u964d), each term encapsulates the subtle changes in weather, agriculture, and even human activity.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"retention-new-button\" data-subject=\"CHINESE\" data-btnName=\"Book a free trial class\" data-lang=\"en\">\r\n    <a class=\"colorfulBtn\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\">\r\n        Book a free trial class\r\n    <\/a>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"part2-what-are-the-24-solar-terms\"><\/span>Part2.

Though the date of the Spring Festival shifted to the lunar calendar in 1913, the Start of Spring remains a beloved symbol of hope and new beginnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the first of the 24 solar terms, Start of Spring falls around February 4th or 5th each year. Despite its name, this period may still feel quite chilly, especially in northern China. However, the increasing daylight and warming soil hint at the transformations to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"part4-seasonal-specialties-culinary-customs-of-the-solar-terms\"><\/span>Part4. Seasonal Specialties: Culinary Customs of the Solar Terms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of the Chinese 24 solar terms brings its own unique flavors and ingredients. During Start of Spring, it&#8217;s customary to eat spring pancakes (ch\u016bn b\u01d0ng \u6625\u997c) and spring rolls (ch\u016bn ju\u01cen \u6625\u5377), both filled with fresh, crisp vegetables. These dishes symbolize the wrapping up of the old year and the welcoming of the new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the seasons progress, so too do the culinary delights. From the tender, young bamboo shoots of Qing Ming to the fragrant lychees of Grain in Ear (m\u00e1ng zh\u01d2ng \u8292\u79cd), each solar term offers a tantalizing array of seasonal specialties, deeply rooted in local customs and traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"part5-agricultural-rhythms-of-the-solar-terms\"><\/span>Part5. Agricultural Rhythms of the Solar Terms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-185-1024x682.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30677\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For farmers, the 24 solar terms serve as a celestial almanac, guiding every stage of the agricultural cycle. During Start of Spring, farmers prepare their fields for planting, turning over the soil and mending their tools. As the terms progress, so too do the tasks at hand &#8211; from sowing seeds in Grain Rain (g\u01d4 y\u01d4 \u8c37\u96e8) to harvesting ripe grains in Limit of Heat (ch\u00f9 sh\u01d4 \u5904\u6691).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This intimate connection between the solar terms and agriculture has shaped Chinese culture for millennia. Even today, with the advent of modern farming techniques, many farmers still look to the wisdom of the solar terms to guide their planting and harvesting decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"part6-festivals-and-folklore-of-the-solar-terms\"><\/span>Part6. Festivals and Folklore of the Solar Terms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of the Chinese 24 solar terms brings its own unique festivities and traditions. During Start of Spring, people often hang spring couplets (ch\u016bn li\u00e1n \u6625\u8054) and paper-cuts on their doors, symbolizing good fortune and happiness for the coming year. In some regions, people also participate in spring outings, enjoying the fresh air and budding greenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the year progresses, other solar terms bring their own special celebrations. From the lively dragon boat races of Grain in Ear to the mooncakes and lanterns of the Mid-Autumn Festival, these traditions provide a rich tapestry of cultural heritage, connecting modern Chinese people with their ancestors&#8217; wisdom and ways of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"faqs-about-24-solar-terms\"><\/span>FAQs about 24 Solar Terms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q1.
