1 It was early one morning of Grain in Ear. Lively birds sang sweetly in the trees. Villagers hurried to the fields. Under the blue sky, golden fields shone like the sun. The wind blew, sending sweet smells into the air. Adults were busy cutting the wheat. Children raced behind to pick up the ears.
2 This is one of the best memories of my childhood. I grew up in the countryside of Shandong Province. Most of the villagers there lived by farming. The 24 Solar Terms meant so much to them.The changes of the terms guided both their farming activities and daily lives. The terms helped them understand why thing s happened at certain times, and how they should react. When I grew up and left my hometown, the 24 Solar Terms followed me. I always feel
excited when a new term is set to begin. I longed to share these
feelings in my paintings and poems.
3 I didn't know how popular the paintings would
become. I'm so happy that many people, especially the
young, are taking a new interest in the ancient wisdom.
In the hundreds of comments below my posts, others
shared similar memories and feelings. Now people
may be moving away from farming. However, the
ancient way of dividing time stays close to our hearts.

Learning to think for question 1
To understand the importance of the 24 Solar Terms, you should know the way people use them in farming, eating, health, weather and many other fields.
The 24 Solar Terms were important because most villagers lived by farming, and the terms guided their farming activities and daily lives. They helped people understand natural changes, decide when to plant or harvest, and adapt(调整) their eating, health, and lifestyle habits according to seasonal shifts(季节变化）.
Lao Shu’s paintings are meaningful and touching. They not only show the beauty of each solar term but also awaken(唤醒) people’s memories and emotional connections(情感连接)to traditional Chinese culture. His works help young people rediscover ancient wisdom and keep the cultural heritage(文化遗产) alive in modern life.
