GLOBALink | Sports Beats of 24 Solar Terms: Beginning of Autumn

The 24 solar terms, consisting of 12 major solar terms and 12 minor solar terms, were created thousands of years ago by the ancient Chinese to guide agricultural production.
Today, the culture behind the terms provides useful guidance to people’s lives as each term features special food, cultural ceremonies and healthy living tips.
‘Liqiu’, or the Beginning of Autumn, is the first day of autumn on the Chinese lunar calendar. It falls on Aug. 7 this year.
In most regions of the country, with heat and humidity of summer gradually fading away, a good season for outdoor sports is coming.
Feel the vitality and passion of outdoor exercising together with Xinhua images!
