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, u0 |* {% F% Y0 X: b) n, C$ ~
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 reason that the starting dates of each "节气" 5.39.217.765 z6 Y, A# i. Q# `
may vary by 1-2 days (in the Gregorian Calendar);
" |* E* x6 f8 y0 }$ x: f+ \( V公仔箱論壇' \0 @: E, ?. G6 q# E) }
I think its because the Gregorian Calendar that we follow has

. C. I5 J; M2 i5 e" N4 s! ^6 m5.39.217.76公仔箱論壇) \7 Z( O. d  C  M2 x
and the solar calendar that the 二十四节气 follows has "365.2422" days in each cycle.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb2 |  f/ ?% Q- [2 p9 H) \
