The twenty-four solar terms represent the changes in natural rhythms within the calendar and establish specific seasonal divisions for the "twelve months' construction," embodying profound cultural significance and historical accumulation. They are an integral part of the extensive history and culture of the Chinese nation. Each year is divided into four seasons, with spring, summer, autumn, and winter each lasting three months. There are two solar terms per month, each with its unique meaning. The twenty-four solar terms accurately reflect the changes in natural rhythms and play a crucial role in people's daily lives.

They serve not only as a timing system to guide agricultural production but also comprise a rich system of folk customs. Throughout history, the lunar calendar has incorporated the components of the solar terms from the sexagenary calendar as a supplement to its system and adjusted it through the leap month method to align with the tropical year, resulting in a combined luni-solar calendar. Consequently, the "twenty-four solar terms" have become an essential part of the lunar calendar.
它们不仅作为指导农业生产的计时系统，而且还构成了丰富的民俗系统。纵观历史，农历将六历的节气成分纳入其系统，并通过闰月法进行调整以与热带年保持一致，从而形成阴阳结合历。因此，“二十四节气”已成为农历的重要组成部分。
