Lecture on Chinese Cultural Heritage ｜ Chinese Wisdom: Twenty-Four Solar Terms and Folk Customs

      Introduction：

      Lecture contents:

      For thousands of years, we have lived in the twenty-four solar terms, but many people do not fully understand their history and meaning. In November 2016, China's twenty-four solar terms are expected to be successfully declared as a world non-heritage protection project, that is, China's twenty-four solar terms are officially included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Representative List. Through the relevant documents, the lecture interpreted the significance of the successful bidding of the 24 solar terms. It is a very valuable thing. The 24 solar terms represent the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese people. They are a major invention like ceramics and printing. In combination with the twenty-four solar terms in our Xuzhou area, we introduce some local characteristics and tell us that the twenty-four solar terms are very important for our production arrangements, living order, and folklore, so as to enlighten us that our attention to the laws of nature and ecological protection is of great significance.
