Chinese Things English Way （中國心，英文情）:: 二十四節氣(The 24 solar Terms)
Here are some information form google:

http://green.kyu.edu.tw/learn/cultures/abstract/24life-001.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_term

---------------------------------------------------------------

I found the ended date of each solar term at the Wikipedia site that differs from Kathy's post. Do you know why there is a slight difference about the date? Thank you.

Here is an example:

Lichun

The traditional East Asian calendars divide a year into 24 solar terms (節氣). Lìchūn (pīnyīn) or Risshun (rōmaji) (Chinese and Japanese: 立春; Korean: 입춘; Vietnamese: Lập xuân; literally: "start of spring") is the 1st solar term. It begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 315° and ends when it reaches the longitude of 330°. It more often refers in particular to the day when the Sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 315°. In the Gregorian calendar, it usually begins around February 4 and ends around February 18 (February 19 East Asia time).

Hello Kathy

For a laugh.

年關難過

年關緊迫雨紛紛，債主臨門欲斷魂;
借問當舖何處有，小童遙指杏花村。
