Abstract
The twenty-four solar terms are the time scales of the traditional Chinese astronomical calendar, natural phenology and social practice. They clearly express and plan the farming life centred on the Yellow River Basin and are shared by many ethnic groups nationwide. They are the Chinese people: unique time and cultural system. From the movement of distant celestial bodies to the close-by phenological changes, each solar term engraves people's recognition of being close to nature and their disposition to conform to the heart and also guides the rhythm of life and aesthetic orientation of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. However, due to the original nature of solar term as a farming guide, the academic circle needs to pay more attention to its relationship with poetry writing. Therefore, this article uses the method of close reading of the text, starting from the cognition of the twenty-four solar terms, a time system full of unique Chinese wisdom, and discussing it from the perspective of excavating the cultural heritage of the Yellow River with the poems representing the writing form of characteristic Chinese literature. The interactive relationship between time system culture and poetry writing forms provides the Chinese experience with the harmonious relationship between man and nature.
