In ancient China, people divided the lunar calendar into 24 parts called solar terms. This system matched the seasons to the Sun’s path across the sky, which people watched closely, especially near the Yellow River. This is where Chinese culture began.
The solar terms became a fully working system during the Qin and Han dynasties, over 2,000 years ago. It was very important for farming. It told farmers when to plant seeds and when to gather their crops.
Today, people still use this system to get ready for the weather changes. It reminds people to adapt to the changes of seasons through special seasonal foods and cultural customs.
The idea of solar terms also spread to other East Asian countries like Japan and Vietnam. In 2016, the 24 solar terms were officially included in the UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage List.
Think: Why does the writer mention the Yellow River, Qin and Han dynasties as well as some East Asian countries in the passage?
