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
! A- u+ j! Z; D3 u! z, s* z/ ?, W7 _5.39.217.76These 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" 5.39.217.763 g) N+ N3 h  B4 \1 J' M! f5 M
may vary by 1-2 days (in the Gregorian Calendar);
7 N; W% _) T. V, A7 B2 T: U  P+ a5.39.217.76: i; l: e, D; ~
I think its because the Gregorian Calendar that we follow has tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb% y" Y0 G7 C- \
28/29/30/31 days in different calendar months;

and the solar calendar that the 二十四节气 follows has "365.2422" days in each cycle.5.39.217.76% O5 c1 j7 d8 i4 _" a+ M; k6 K' |
