有时候,我们的长辈就像有魔法一样。给他们一个农历日期,他们就会知道几天后甚至几个月后的天气情况。秘诀是什么?他们遵循的是二十四节气。二十四节气是中国文化中很重要的一个部分。2016年,联合国教科文组织将其列入人类非物质文化遗产名录。二十四节气始于古代。那时,大多数中国人以农耕为生。因此,天气变化对他们至关重要。当然,那时没有天气预报来帮助他们。但是人们找到了一个方法。他们研究太阳的运行规律,也关注天气、降雨以及植物生长等其他自然变化。最后,他们发明了二十四节气来标注这些变化。
Our grandparents seem to have magic powers sometimes.Give them a Chinese lunar calendar and they will know what the weather will be like days or even months later.What’s the secret?They are following the 24 Solar Terms,which is an important part of Chinese culture.In 2016,the United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization(UNESCO)added it to the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.The 24 Solar Terms began during the ancient periods.At that time,most Chinese people made their living on farms.So weather changes were important for them.But of course,they had no weather report to help them.
