The origin of solar terms
Twenty-four solar terms are the product of ancient farming civilization, which has a long history and is associated with heavenly stems and earthly branches and Bagua. Agricultural production is closely related to geographical and climatic resources, and superior geographical and climatic resources are important conditions for the birth of agricultural civilization. China is located in the east of Asia-Europe continent and the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, with great differences in thermal properties between land and sea.
Thus formed the most typical monsoon climate in the world. Monsoon climate is a mixture of continental climate and maritime climate. In winter, affected by the dry and cold air flow in the inland, the weather is cold, dry and rainy; Summer is affected by the warm and humid air flow from the ocean, which is hot, humid and rainy. The high temperature period is consistent with the rainy season, and the water and heat are well coordinated, which is very beneficial to the growth of crops.
