Lai Chi WOW!: Ep2 - The Twenty-four Solar Terms

Lai Chi Wo used to be a farming Hakka village. The yield of crops directly affected the quality of life of the villagers. Bad weather leads to bad harvest. Without an observatory, farmers were not informed about the weather changes. After years of farming and observing, farmers discovered the pattern of seasons and weather changes. Combining their observations with the routines of the sun and moon, farmers divided a year into twenty-four equal periods, and the twenty-four solar terms were created. The solar terms guided farmers in Lai Chi Wo, crops thrived, and animals lived happily in Lai Chi Wo.

The second episode (Chinese version only) of the music video "Lai Chi WOW!" is a song about the twenty-four solar terms, let’s sing together!
