Greater Cold signals end of solar cycle
An says the Twenty-Four Solar Terms are like memos, reminding people to follow nature and go with the times. They contain culture and common sense.They also reveal the philosophical wisdom of "harmony between man and nature" and require respect for nature, which is still applicable today.
"The traditional concept of healthcare pays attention to 'autumn harvest and winter storage', which also reminds people that when Greater Cold comes, we must follow the laws of nature, especially in winter, to recuperate and not consume too much energy and physical strength," An says.
He believes that with the development of the times and people's needs, some customs related to solar terms will be strengthened, while others will gradually fade. At the same time, new customs may also slowly form and become popular.
