农历每年有廿四节气,农历每月有两个节气.“上半年来六廿一,下半年来八廿三”,这是以阳历来推算节气的日期.7月份以前,每月两个节气的日期,多在 阳历6日或21日,下半年每月的两个节气多在阳历的8日或23日.有时也相差一两天.所以口诀中又有“每月两节日期定,最多相差一两天”一句
* }! \- S" C) H- F0 T* e5.39.217.77These twenty-four solar terms each suggest the position of the sun every time it travels15 degrees on the ecliptic longitude. In each month there are often two solar terms; the first one is generally named 'Jie Qi' and the other one 'Zhong Qi'. Their dates are mirrored by the Gregorian calendar, during the first half of a year 'Jie Qi' is around the 6th day of a solar month, 'Zhong Qi' around the 21st; in the second half of a year, 'Jie Qi' is around the 8th and 'Zhong Qi' around the 23rd.

The reason that the starting dates of each "节气"
# M$ {4 h/ M) @0 ?: Zmay vary by 1-2 days (in the Gregorian Calendar);- D" W: E& M1 P2 ]( s8 o
, R1 j8 F/ ~, M
I think its because the Gregorian Calendar that we follow has 公仔箱論壇, F8 n& U0 h9 e) R0 _8 f* U, S) s
28/29/30/31 days in different calendar months;
3 x% J6 r" @* s0 R" Ztvb now,tvbnow,bttvb9 f- S2 M# Y: H* ^) \& B  S& k
and the solar calendar that the 二十四节气 follows has "365.2422" days in each cycle.
