Chinese ancients discovered through astronomical observation, that during the earth's 12-month orbit around the sun, its changing position gave rise to periodical changes in climate and thus distinctive farming seasons. They subsequently designated 24 positions within the earth's orbit, calling them the 24 Jieqi (24 solar terms). 农业是古代中国和中国老百姓的经济支柱，建立历法的目的是管理农业生产。中国古人通过天文观测发现，在地球围绕太阳公转的 12 个月里，其位置的周期性变化和气候变化相同，以此来确立农耕季节。所好他们在地球轨道内指定了24个位置，称之为 24 节气。 记忆小贴士 24 节气的翻译看似繁多，其实归一下类即可轻松记住它们。 立春、立夏、立秋和立冬的英文都有 Beginning of...： 夏至、冬至的英文都有 Solstice： 春分/秋分的英文都有 Equinox： 在小暑/大暑、小雪/大雪、小寒/大寒的英文中“小”用 Minor，“大”用 Major，可以归在一起记： |
