24 solar terms 二十四节气

Nothing much, just that I was interested about the 24 solar terms which is used to divide a year.

This is a poem (found on Wikipedia) to help remember the 24 solar terms in their order, starting from spring.

立春陽氣轉,雨水沿河邊;
驚蟄烏鴉叫,春分瀝皮乾;
清明忙種麥,穀雨種大田。

立夏鵝毛住,小滿雀來全;
芒種五月節,夏至不納棉;
小暑不算熱,大暑三伏天。

立秋忙打靛,處暑幹老虎;
白露煙上架,秋分無生田;
寒露不算冷,霜降變了天。

立冬交十月,小雪地封嚴;
大雪河叉上,冬至不行船;
小寒進臘月,大寒又一年。
