The traditional Chinese lunar calendar（农历）divides the year into 24 solar terms （节气）. It’s very useful for people’s life and work. Let’s have a look.
	Start of Spring, the first solar term of the year, falls on February 4th this year. After Start of Spring, the daytime is becoming longer and the weather is becoming warmer. And people eat spring pancakes and spring rolls on the day.
	Summer Solstice, the 10th solar term, falls on June 21st this year. Summer Solstice is not the hottest time in a year. The hottest days often come 20 to 30 days later. People have a tradition of eating noodles on the day.
	Autumn Equinox, the 16th solar term, falls on September 23rd this year. On this day, day and night are of equal length（等长）. After this day, days get shorter and nights get longer in the northern hemisphere（北半球）. In South China, people eat Qiucai, a kind of wild amaranth（苋菜）.
	Major Snow, or “Daxue” in Chinese, is the 21st solar term, and it falls on December 7th this year. The arrival of Major Snow marks the beginning of midwinter. Daxue does not necessarily have more snowfall but the possibility of snowy days grows bigger. People have the custom to eat lamb（羊肉）and porridge.
