Song title: "Nine-Nine Solar Terms Song"
Lyrics:
No action in 1929, walking on the ice in 3949
Looking at willows along the river in 5969, the river opens in 79
Eight-nine swallows come, nine-nine plus one nine
Cows are everywhere
Extended information:
The twenty-four solar terms originated in the Yellow River Basin. The accumulation of long-term experience and the crystallization of wisdom of the working people in ancient China, as far back as the Spring and Autumn Period, determined the solar terms of mid-spring, mid-summer, mid-autumn and mid-winter. Later, they were continuously improved and perfected. By the Qin and Han Dynasties, the twenty-four solar terms had been fully established. In 104 BC, the "Taichu Calendar" formulated by Deng Pingping officially included the twenty-four solar terms in the calendar and clarified the astronomical position of the twenty-four solar terms.
