农历每年有廿四节气,农历每月有两个节气.“上半年来六廿一,下半年来八廿三”,这是以阳历来推算节气的日期.7月份以前,每月两个节气的日期,多在 阳历6日或21日,下半年每月的两个节气多在阳历的8日或23日.有时也相差一两天.所以口诀中又有“每月两节日期定,最多相差一两天”一句公仔箱論壇' b. S0 f2 f8 h0 W4 N  h( O
These twenty-four solar terms each suggest the position of the sun every time it travels15 degrees on the ecliptic longitude. In each month there are often two solar terms; the first one is generally named 'Jie Qi' and the other one 'Zhong Qi'. Their dates are mirrored by the Gregorian calendar, during the first half of a year 'Jie Qi' is around the 6th day of a solar month, 'Zhong Qi' around the 21st; in the second half of a year, 'Jie Qi' is around the 8th and 'Zhong Qi' around the 23rd.

the Chinese lunar calender (农历); but we also know that 冬至 usually falls on Dec. 21-23;9 b; U, F9 E( n: G1 D- q! w& x

1 M* Z. \9 H; h; n( f' Y2 VThe reason that the starting dates of each "节气" 5.39.217.766 {# D" U! m$ a( ^+ O/ ^: e
may vary by 1-2 days (in the Gregorian Calendar);- z( m& K- D' Y

8 `& F/ s6 \5 F+ f- S! Q) G2 nI think its because the Gregorian Calendar that we follow has
