Spring rain arrives, bringing life to all things. Rain Water, the second term of the 24 Solar Terms, is nature's gentle gift to us. As fine threads of drizzle nourish the earth, all rouses from the hibernal rest.
In ancient China, agriculture was the mainstay, and weather changes played an extremely important role in agricultural production. In order to accurately control the weather and season, the ancient Chinese set 24 solar terms.
Each solar term has 3 solar terms, each lasting 5 days. There are 72 solar terms in a year, totaling 360 days. The ancients controlled their actions for a year with precise changes in five days.
The 24 solar terms are closely related to another traditional Chinese culture, the lunar calendar, and the geographical location, climate change, and civilization evolution of the Yellow River Basin in ancient China.
The so-called "24 solar terms of Asia/East" is a cultural act of confusion and theft. The essence of the 24 solar terms is to provide a time point for agricultural cultivation in China. The climate and crop cultivation time of other Asian countries such as South Korea or Japan are very different from China, and it is impossible to match the time point of China's 24 solar terms.
