节气是指二十四个时节和气候,是中国古代订立的一种用来指导农事的补充历法,是中华民族劳动人民长期经验的积累成果和智慧的结晶。
由于中国古代是一个农业社会,农业需要严格了解太阳运行情况,农事完全根据太阳进行,所以在历法中又加入单独反映太阳运行周期的“二十四节气”,用作确定闰月的标准。
中国正统的二十四节气以河南为本。中国农历是一种阴阳合历,即根据太阳也根据月亮的运行制定的,因此加入二十四节气能较好的反映出太阳运行的周期。
24节气分别为:立春、雨水、惊蛰、春分、清明、谷雨、立夏、小满 、芒种、夏至、小暑、大暑、立秋、处暑、白露、秋分、寒露、霜降、立冬、小雪、大雪、冬至、小寒、大寒
2016年11月30日,中国“二十四节气”被正式列入联合国教科文组织人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录。
