The months of the traditional Chinese calendar follow the moon, but did you know that the calendar also follows the sun? In fact, the year is divided into 24 parts, based on where the sun is in the sky. Each part starts with a solar term, or jieqi in Chinese. These solar terms follow the changes of the seasons and the weather. 1 Read the article to find out how ancient Chinese people divided up the year. Focusing on culture The “Start of Spring”, “Start of Summer”, “Start of Autumn” and ”Start of Winter” divide the year into four seasons. Each of the seasons is then divided into six parts, and each part lasts about 15 days. The solar terms can fall on different dates. They sometimes move a day or two. The 24 solar terms are very useful in daily life. For example, they help farmers decide when to plant their crops. The solar terms also play an important part in traditional Chinese culture. People celebrated these days in different ways in the past, such as eating special local dishes. Many of these traditions continue in our times. For example. people still eat spring rolls and spring pancakes to celebrate the “Start of Spring‘’. 1.The traditional Chinese calendar is based solely on the moon. 2.The "Start of Spring", "Start of Summer", "Start of Autumn", and "Start of Winter" are the only solar terms in the Chinese calendar. 3.Each solar term lasts for exactly 15 days. 4.The solar terms always fall on the same date each year. 5.The 24 solar terms have no significance in modern Chinese culture. True or false F F T F F Ancient Chinese people divided the year into 24 solar terms based on the sun's position, which also guided the traditional lunar calendar. These terms, known as jieqi, mark the changes in seasons and weather, and each lasts about 15 days. 1.Read the article to find out how ancient Chinese people divided up the year. 2 Answer the questions below with the information from the article on page 46. (1) Why does the writer say "... the calendar also follows the sun”？ (2) Why are the 24 solar terms very useful in daily life? (3) How do people celebrate the "Start of Spring”? Because the year is divided into 24 parts, based on where the sun is in the sky. Because they help farmers decide when to plant their crops. They eat spring rolls and spring pancakes. 3 Find the words in the article and match them with their meanings.

(1)Which solar terms are you familiar with? What do people often eat or do on them? I am familiar with the "Start of Spring," "Start of Summer," "Start of Autumn," and "Start of Winter." On the "Start of Spring," people often eat spring rolls and pancakes. During the "Start of Summer," it's common to have egg-eating customs. "Start of Autumn" is a time for eating dumplings, and "Start of Winter" is celebrated with glutinous rice balls and mutton hotpot. These foods and activities are part of traditional Chinese culture. (2) Do you think the 24 solar terms are still important today? Why or why not? Yes, the 24 solar terms are still important today. They help us understand the changes in seasons and weather, which is useful for planning activities like farming and travel. Also, they are part of Chinese culture and traditions, with special foods and customs associated with each term, keeping the connection to history and nature alive. We have learnt about the four seasons in this unit, but why does the Earth have four seasons? Does every place on Earth have four seasons? Cross-curricular connection I Education 1 Read the article and find out why we have different seasons. As our planet moves around the Sun, the light from the Sun falls on the Earth from different directions. This helps create the seasons. At different times of year, there is more sunlight in some places, and less sunlight in others. More sunlight means longer days and warmer weather, and this is why we have spring and summer. It gets colder in autumn and winter because the days are shorter, and we get less light from the Sun (see the picture below 1 ). The seasons fall at different times of year around the world. China is north of the equator. Here, we experience summer from June to August. South of the equator. June, July and August are winter months. In Australia, it is summer from December to February, and Australians have their spring when we have our autumn. The hottest and the coldest parts of the world don't have four seasons. It is always hot in places close to the equator. These places are called the tropics. Instead of our four seasons, many parts of the tropics have a rainy season and a dry season. Around the North and South Poles, there are only two seasons too: a very, very cold winter and a somewhat less cold summer. 2 Discuss the questions below. (1) Why do seasons change? (2) Can you give some examples of places that don't get spring and autumn? As our planet moves around the Sun, the light from the Sun falls on the Earth from different directions. This helps create the seasons. Places close to the North and South Poles do not have spring and autumn. It is hot all year round in the tropics. Project Keeping a seasons journal A seasons journal helps you explore and record the four seasons. In this project, you are going to learn how to keep a seasons journal. Step 1 Think about what you want to record in each season. For example: Plants and animals. Choose something easy to observe, such as the trees outside your window. Write down what they look like every two or three days, or every week. Festivals and activities. There are some traditional festivals in each season. Write down what you do on those days. Your feelings. Write down how you feel in this season. Quotes or poems you like about each season, as well as suitable photos. Step 2 Design the layout of your journal. In a journal, the date, weather and temperature are usually included. If there is a festival or solar term on that day, write it down. Here is an example: Step 3 Share your journal with your classmates every month or every two months. You will find interesting changes in your journal.
