The Twenty-Four Solar Terms encompass the growth patterns of crops such as spring sowing, summer growth, autumn harvest, and winter storage, as well as meteorological, phenological, folk, and traditional cultural knowledge.This book is a new set of nursery rhymes for the Twenty-Four Solar Terms specially designed for children aged 5-8. It turns the knowledge of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms into new nursery rhymes suitable for children to recite. It tells the phenology, agriculture, and folklore of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms in a fresh language that does not lose childlike interest, allowing children to feel the beauty and changes of the solar terms while reciting the nursery rhymes. The book also introduces the origins of the solar terms, their climatic characteristics, and interesting activities for each solar term, connecting ancient and modern times. For example, the activity of standing eggs during the Vernal Equinox, spring outings during the Qingming Festival, and how to make qingtuan (a type of traditional Chinese food).
