In China，the traditional Chinese lunar calendar（阴历） divides a year into 24 solar terms（节气），which were created by people thousands of years ago to guide agricultural production（农业生产）.But the solar term culture is still useful today in guiding people's lives.

Spring Equinox
It is the fourth solar term of the year.Days begin to be longer than nights after this day.As for activities，flying kites is a common activity during this time.People often write good words on their kites.They all hope that their wishes will come true when the kites are flown high in the sky.
Great Heat
It is the 12th solar term of the year.During this time，most parts of China enter the hottest season of the year and the sunshine，high temperatures，and heavy rainfalls are good for the plants.But many natural disasters （灾害） also happen.
Frost's Descent
It is the 18th solar term of the year，the last solar term of autumn，during which time the weather becomes much colder than before and the temperature changes greatly from day to night.The chrysanthemums（菊花） are in bloom（盛开）.

Major Snow
It is the 21st of the solar terms，and the third one of winter，marking the arrival of mid-winter.The temperature drops day by day，as the year is coming to an end.The snow in North China may last a whole day，and heavy snow brings us a fantastic ice world of pure white.
