1 What are the uses of the 24 Solar Terms
2 Do you know any Solar Terms related to traditional festivals Give one example.
Simon is reading an article about the 24 Solar Terms. Read it with him and answer the questions below.
In ancient times, Chinese people noticed the changes in seasons and weather. They divided the year into 24 parts—these are the 24 Solar Terms.
The terms start with the Beginning of Spring and end with the Major Cold. They show changes in crop growth, temperature and other weather conditions.
Today many farmers still use the 24 Solar Terms to help decide what to do in their fields. The terms also have important cultural meanings beyond farming. Some of them are connected with traditional festivals. They have had a positive effect on Chinese culture for thousands of years.
(1) What are the uses of the 24 Solar Terms
Farmers use the 24 Solar Terms to help decide what to do in their fields. The terms also have important cultural meanings beyond farming.
(2) Do you know any Solar Terms related to traditional festivals Give one example.
Yes. The Solar Term “Pure Brightness” is related to the Qingming Festival. During this Solar Term, people not only celebrate new life in nature, but also show respect for their ancestors. Families usually sweep tombs of their ancestors and have some outdoor activities.
