More than 2,000 years ago,ancient Chinese
people created an entire framework to mark the
passage of time in a year based on observation of
the sun's movement,called"The 24 Solar Terms".
班级
姓名
In the International meteorological field,
the 24 solar terms are recognized as "the fifth
invention of China".In 2016,the 24 solar
terms were included in the UNESCO's
Representative List of the Intangible Cultural
Heritage of Humanity.
The 24 solar terms are:Start of Spring;
Rain Water;Awakening of Insects;Spring
Equinox;Clear and Bright;Grain Rain;Start
of Summer;Grain Buds;Grain in Ear;
Summer Solstice;Minor Heat;Major Heat;
Start of Autumn;The End of Heat;White
Dew;Autumn Equinox;Cold Dew;Frost's
Descent;Start of Winter;Minor Snow;Major
Snow;Winter Solstice;Minor Cold and Major
Cold.
Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice are
the two days of the year with the longest and
shortest amount of daylight respectively,
while Spring Equinox and Autumn Equinox
are days with the most balanced amount of
daytime and nighttime.Through these four
points,a year is divided into four parts:
Spring,Summer,Autumn and Winter.
In ancient times,this system not only guided
agricultural production,helping farmers to
expect the changes in temperature,spring
planting and autumn harvest,but also directed
Chinese folk customs.For example,Winter
Solstice was the first one created among the 24
solar terms,and later turned into a festival
held in honor of ancestors.

得分
Nowadays,the 24 solar terms could not
only be applied to farming,but also guide Chi-
nese in everyday life.They remind people to
adapt to the changes in the seasons through
suitable foods and cultural ceremonies.Sea-
sonal customs still enjoy widespread populari-
ty,such as eating spring pancakes at Start of
Spring,sweeping ancestors'tombs at Qing-
ming,gaining weight to keep warm at Start of
Autumn and eating nutritious food to store en-
ergy at Start of Winter.They have actually
become important traditions in Chinese life.
This ancient time system has gained new
charm in the new era.It reflects the emotional
connection,the wisdom and creativity of the
Chinese,who respect and live in harmony with
nature.It has a deep impact on the way people
think and their principles of conduct.
4.Why are the 24 solar terms called "the fifth
invention of China"?

sentative List of the ICH of Humanity.

Born in the coldest city in the world,
Yakutsk in Siberia,Alex developed an interest
in photography(摄影)from a very young age

travel photographer,mainly taking photos of

realized that people were the most interesting part

people living in far places,where the traditional
lifestyle and ancient culture remained untouched by

and wants to record them."I believe that
without cultural diversity(多样性)our world
will become faceless.Many of the world

left alone,can slowly be in bad condition.1
For these reasons we must protect them.
“World Heritage”is the title given to
places chosen from natural sites and buildings
around the world.These places are considered
special,valuable and require protection.They
may be places of nature or cultural heritages
that are the pride of the people in the country.
2 Each is a treasure of our planet that must be
protected for us and our future generations.

removing plants and animals to or from the
islands,moving rocks and touching the ani-
mals.In the US,people are not allowed to vis-
it Grand Canyon National Park by vehicle.It
aims to protect the park's environment from
the gas produced by cars.4 Australia is
making stricter laws to prevent agricultural
chemicals from flowing into the ocean near the
Great Barrier Reef.Efforts are also being made

Shiretoko,only a small number of people are
