在这里,每一天你会遇见一个精美句子;节日,你会遇到一副精美插画。 点击每天的物候文字,便会进入物候图集,可以了解七十二个物候,以及背后的自然趣味。 如今这个随时可以得知日期与天气的时代,往昔台历中的节气,渐渐成为了一种标志与文化符号。 让这个APP带大家重新用大自然的方式感受时间和生活。 下面来给大家简单介绍节气和物候: 1、节气,是一种根据农历推算四季气候的单位,一年共有二十四节气,每个节气十五天左右。 古时中国人用圭表显示太阳下影子的长度,把每年太阳影子最短的那天定为夏至,最长的那天定为冬至,昼夜时间相等的分别为春分和秋分,从而确定了四季,之后又演化出了二十四节气。 “春雨惊春清谷天,夏满芒夏暑相连, 秋处露秋寒霜降,冬雪雪冬小大寒。”——《二十四节气歌》 2、我国古代劳动人民还发现了草木枯荣、候鸟来去等自然现象与气候的关系,并以此安排农事,这些现象便是物候现象。所以,古代又将五天称为“一候”,“三候”为一个节气,一个节气又被称为“三候”,一年有七十二候。 例: 我国古代将立秋分为三候:“一候凉风至;二候白露生;三候寒蝉鸣。” 凉风至:刮风时人们会感觉到凉爽,此时的风已不同于暑天中的热风。 白露降:大地上早晨会有雾气产生。 寒蝉鸣:秋天感阴而鸣的寒蝉也开始鸣叫。
