The 24 solar terms
The months of the traditional Chinese calendar follow the moon, but did you know that the calendar(日历) also follows the sun? In fact, the year has 24 parts, based on where the sun is in the sky. Each part starts with a solar term, or jieqi in Chinese. These solar terms follow the changes of the seasons and the weather.
The "Start of Spring" "Start of Summer" "Start of Autumn" and "Start of Winter" divide(划分) the year into four seasons. Each of the seasons is then divided into six parts, and each part lasts about 15 days. The solar terms can fall on different dates. They sometimes move a day or two.
The 24 solar terms are very useful in daily life. For example, they help farmers decide when to plant their crops. The solar terms also play an important part in traditional Chinese culture. People celebrated these days in different ways in the past, such as eating special local dishes. Many of these traditions continue in our times. For example, people still eat spring rolls and spring pancakes to celebrate the "Start of Spring".
86. How many parts does the year have?
87. What do the 24 solar terms follow?
88. How long does each part of the seasons last?
89. Why are the 24 solar terms useful for farmers?
90. What do you think of the 24 solar terms?(请自拟一句话作答)
