二、阅读理解
Our grandparents seem to have magic powers sometimes. Give them a Chinese lunar calendar, and they will know what the weather will be like days or even months later. What's the secret? They are following the 24 Solar Terms, which are an important part of Chinese culture. And on Nov. 30, 2016, the United Nations added them to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(人类非物质文化遗产).
In ancient times, most Chinese people made their living on farms. So, weather changes were important to them. Without satellites', the internet's or the weather broadcast's help, ancient people studied the sun's movement with a sundial(日晷). They also paid attention to other natural changes such as air temperature, water and crop growth. As early as the Shang Dynasty, the Chinese ancestors had already established four major Solar Terms. During the Zhou Dynasty, eight Solar Terms marking the four seasons were established. Not until the Han Dynasty were the present 24 Solar Terms established completely. The terms became their guide to farming work. For example, the Awakening of Insects is when insects wake up from a long sleep in the cold winter. Farmers take it as a sign of warm weather and get busy working.
The 24 Solar Terms are honoured as China's fifth great invention, after paper - making, printing, the compass and gunpowder. Now, people still say, “Do not show your feet after the White Dew.” Why? It's because the White Dew marks the coming of cold days.
