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
& q( i5 g/ I* O  A1 _tvb now,tvbnow,bttvbThese 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"
4 _; U- S' @# C4 o7 K9 \) Ltvb now,tvbnow,bttvbmay vary by 1-2 days (in the Gregorian Calendar);3 F. o& H6 C$ }: i0 h* P, U& \

# y5 c- z5 n8 g+ R7 |6 q8 y5.39.217.76I think its because the Gregorian Calendar that we follow has tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb; y+ ?8 D' ]  Y. s' \7 D
28/29/30/31 days in different calendar months;
& M, z# `  M, c! l公仔箱論壇tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb; H% m" c% O, \( I+ A
and the solar calendar that the 二十四节气 follows has "365.2422" days in each cycle.
