The 24 traditional Chinese solar terms
中國傳統(tǒng)24節(jié)氣
春天有6個節(jié)氣分別是：立春、雨水、驚蟄、春分、清明、谷雨，如何用英語表達？
一、立春
the Beginning of Spring丨1th Solar Terms
立春節(jié)的到來意味著嚴冬的結束。此時柳萌黃枝，水泛新綠，萬物生長的春季已經(jīng)到來。
立春節(jié)后，植物轉綠，煥發(fā)勃勃生機。人們可以清楚地注意到白天的時間變得更長，天氣也愈發(fā)溫暖了。
After that everything turns green and becomes full of vigor. People clearly can notice that daytime becomes longer and the weather gets warmer.
春曉
——孟浩然
春眠不覺曉，
處處聞啼鳥。
夜來風雨聲，
花落知多少。
A Spring Morning
— Tr.許淵沖
This spring morning in bed I’m lying,
Not to awake till birds are crying.
After one night of wind and showers,
How many are the fallen flowers!
二、雨水
好雨知時節(jié)，當春乃發(fā)生
Rain Water丨2th Solar Terms
雨水是中國傳統(tǒng)二十四節(jié)氣（the 24 traditional Chinese solar terms）中的第二個節(jié)氣。
“雨水”標志著降雨量的增多和氣溫的回升。雨水節(jié)氣來臨之際，盛春之景開始勃發(fā)：河水解凍，大雁北歸，草木轉綠。
Rain Water signals the increase in rainfall and rise in temperature. With its arrival, lively spring-like scenery starts blossoming: the river water defreezes, wild geese move from south to north, and trees and grass turn green again.
關于雨水節(jié)氣的小知識
01.春雨貴如油
春雨對農作物的生長極為重要，中國古代諺語中也有“春雨貴如油”的說法。
在北方地區(qū)，“春旱”是常見的。春季的降水量只占年平均降水量的10%-15%。因此，隨著天氣轉暖，降雨增多，雨水節(jié)氣就被視為灌溉農田的關鍵時期。
In northern China, the spring drought is common and the precipitation of this season accounts for only 10 to 15 percent of annual average rainfall. Therefore, Rain Water is considered as a key period for irrigation when the day gets warmer and rainfall increases.
02.倒春寒
倒春寒：return of cold spell
晚春時期常出現(xiàn)倒春寒現(xiàn)象，在此階段要格外注意保暖。
三、驚蟄
蟄，是指動物入冬蟄伏土中的冬眠狀態(tài)。驚蟄，即天上的雷聲驚醒了沉睡的萬物，所以驚蟄的英文表達為 Awakening of Insects
Awakening of Insects丨3th Solar Terms
中國傳統(tǒng)農歷將一年分為24個節(jié)氣。今年的驚蟄是在3月5日。
The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Awakening of Insects (Chinese:驚蟄) falls on Mar 5 this year.
驚蟄氣還有哪些文化習俗呢？
01.祭白虎
Offering sacrifices to the white tiger
祭白虎，就是畫一只白虎在紙上，再在它的嘴上涂豬血或者豬油，意思是讓它吃飽后不再咬人，避免壞運氣和是非矛盾。
When practicing this old custom, people draw the white tiger on paper, and then smear pigs blood and pork on its mouth. This means the tiger is fed so that it would not bite people, avoiding bad luck and conflict.
02.打“小人”
Beating "villains"
人們經(jīng)常指派特定的“女巫”（通常是一位老年婦女）去“打小人”。他們用剪出人形的剪紙，代表生活中的“小人”，“女巫”會用鞋子或其他工具去打“紙小人”，驅逐厄運。
People often assign a specific “witch”(usually an elderly woman) to "beat the villains". They use paper cut in the shape of humans to represent "villains" in their lives and the "witch" would use shoes or other tools to hit the paper to expel bad luck.
四、春分
春分的“分”有兩個含義，一個是“晝夜平分”，在春分這天，太陽直射赤道，晝夜等長。
The Spring Equinox丨4th Solar Terms
“二分”之一的春分，最早的春秋時代的《呂氏春秋·十二月記》已有記載：分就是一半的意思。
The Spring Equinox is one of "two equinox", the earliest recorded by《Mister Lvs Spring and Autumn Annals》in the Spring and Autumn period：Equinox means half.
春分節(jié)氣還有哪些文化習俗呢？
01.燕歸來
如古話所言，燕子會在“一候”的時候飛回北方；滾滾春雷則發(fā)生在“二候”；到了“三候”，閃電會頻繁出現(xiàn)。這種劃分揭示了春分的氣候特點。
As the old saying goes, swallows fly back to the North in the first hou; thunder cracks the sky in the second hou; lightning occurs frequently in the third hou, which vividly reveals the climate feature during the Spring Equinox.
02.立雞蛋
人們認為，如果有人能將雞蛋豎立起來，他將會在未來交好運。也有些人認為，春分當日是玩這個游戲的最佳時機，因為在這天，地球的地軸與地球繞太陽公轉的軌道平面處于一種相對平衡狀態(tài)，這使得雞蛋更容易被立起來。
It is believed that if someone can make the egg stand, he will have good luck in the future. Some believe that the Spring Equinox is the best time to practice this game because on this day the axis of the earth is relatively balanced against the orbital plane of the earth’s rotation around the sun, which makes it easier to erect an egg.
五、清明
Pure Brightness丨5th Solar Terms
還有一種說法：因“清”“明”二字皆為描述天氣的詞語，所以“清明”的英語表達為Clear and Bright。
清明在節(jié)氣上代表天清地明的意義。清明是中國傳統(tǒng)歷法二十四節(jié)氣中第五個節(jié)氣，也是二十四節(jié)氣中唯一演變成節(jié)日的節(jié)氣。
On the solar term, Pure brightness represents the meaning of the nurture clean and bright. Pure brightness is the fifth solar term in the traditional Chinese calendar and the only one that has become a festival.
清明有哪些習俗呢？
01.清明祭祖：worshiping ancestors
掃墓和獻上供品對逝者表示敬意，是兩種紀念逝去親友的重要習俗。為表示對逝者的關懷，墓邊的雜草被清除并蓋上新鮮的土壤。逝者最喜歡的食物、酒和筷子連同紙錢一起被供奉在墓邊。
Cleaning the tombs and paying respect to the dead with offerings are the two important practices to remember late relatives. Weeds around the tomb are cleared away and fresh soil is added to show care for the dead. The dead persons favorite food, wine and chopsticks are offered on their tombs, along with paper money.
02.寒食節(jié)：Cold Food Festival
唐代詩人沈佺期在《寒食》一詩中寫道：“普天皆滅焰，匝地盡藏煙?！弊x罷頓覺清冷之氣撲面而來。
相傳寒食節(jié)是“春秋五霸”之一的晉文公為紀念忠臣介子推而設立的。
03.春游
清明踏青不遠行
The tomb-sweeping day for an outing
04.放風箏
古代稱“紙鳶”《韓非子》中有記載，距今兩千多年。
Kite flying, called the ancient 《Han Feizi 》 records paper kite, more than 2,000 years ago.
《清明》
(唐)杜牧
清明時節(jié)雨紛紛，
路上行人欲斷魂。
借問酒家何處有？
牧童遙指杏花村。
A drizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day;
The mourners heart is going to break on his way.
Where can a wineshop be found to drown his sad hours?
A cowherd points to a cot mid apricot flowers.
(許淵沖譯)
六、谷雨，又是一年春盡時
這是24節(jié)氣中的第6個節(jié)氣，也是春季最后一個節(jié)氣。
Grain Rain丨6th Solar Terms
雨生百谷，潤物無聲。至此，春漸遠，夏將至，萬物一片生機。
谷雨是第六個節(jié)氣，也是春季最后一個節(jié)氣。
Grain Rain is the sixth solar term and the last one in spring.
意義：這時田中的秋苗初插，作物的種子，最需要充足的雨水來灌溉。
Meaning: At this time the autumn seeds are sown in the fields，it most needs adequate rainfall to irrigate.
谷雨分三候：
Grain rain is divided into three times
初候浮萍開始生長，水溫升高，浮萍在水面上郁郁生長。
First time ，the water starts to warm up and duckweed begins to grow.
二候斑鳩出現(xiàn)，因為斑鳩是遷徙性動物，寒冷的冬天一過去斑鳩就飛到相對溫暖的地方來了。
Second time ，turtledoves appear because they are migratory animals and fly to warmer climes as soon as the cold winter is over.
三候戴勝鳥降落到生長茂盛的桑樹上，因為谷雨時節(jié)桑樹正是生長旺盛之際。
Third time,the hoopoe landed on the lush mulberry , which was thriving during the Grain Rain.
