Why was the Twenty-four Solar Terms was invented by ancient Chinese? 為什么古代中國人能夠發(fā)明 24 節(jié)氣？ In ancient times, agriculture was the economic mainstay of China and its people, and the purpose of establishing a calendar was to regulate agricultural production. Chinese ancients discovered through astronomical observation, that during the earth's 12-month orbit around the sun, its changing position gave rise to periodical changes in climate and thus distinctive farming seasons. They subsequently designated 24 positions within the earth's orbit, calling them the 24 Jieqi (24 solar terms). 農(nóng)業(yè)是古代中國和中國老百姓的經(jīng)濟支柱，建立歷法的目的是管理農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)。中國古人通過天文觀測發(fā)現(xiàn)，在地球圍繞太陽公轉(zhuǎn)的 12 個月里，其位置的周期性變化和氣候變化相同，以此來確立農(nóng)耕季節(jié)。所好他們在地球軌道內(nèi)指定了24個位置，稱之為 24 節(jié)氣。 記憶小貼士 24 節(jié)氣的翻譯看似繁多，其實歸一下類即可輕松記住它們。 立春、立夏、立秋和立冬的英文都有 Beginning of...： 夏至、冬至的英文都有 Solstice： 春分/秋分的英文都有 Equinox： 在小暑/大暑、小雪/大雪、小寒/大寒的英文中“小”用 Minor，“大”用 Major，可以歸在一起記： |
