Exhibit Summary
The Twenty-Four Solar Terms is a Interactive interactive exhibit in the Kids' Zone category, designed for science centers, children’s museums, discovery centers, STEM learning centers and family entertainment centers. Built as a hands-on, mechanical & electromechanical display, it turns an abstract scientific concept into direct, interactive visitor exploration, and is engineered for durable, low-maintenance, high-traffic gallery use.
Scientific Principle
The exhibition uses hands-on experiences of different weather scenes to grasp the characteristics of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms and climate, and discover relevant knowledge via exploration and comparison.
Operation
The displays consist of computers, projectors, audio, and motion sensing cameras. The displays create hands-on weather phenomenon scenes, allowing children to discover about the 24 solar terms and corresponding crop conditions via various experiences of "making wind and rain". The displays use advanced keying and multimedia technology, and the scenes in the projected images will change accordingly with the changes in the audience's body movements, making the display effect vivid and interesting. Solar terms refer to the twenty-four seasons and climate. It is a supplementary calendar established in ancient China to guide farming. It is the crystallization of the long-term experience and wisdom of the working people of the Chinese nation. Since ancient China was an agricultural society, agriculture required a strict understanding of the movement of the sun, and farming was carried out entirely based on the sun. Therefore, the "twenty-four solar terms" that individually reflect the solar cycle were added to the calendar and were used as the standard for determining leap months. The orthodox Chinese twenty-four solar terms are based on Henan. The Chinese lunar calendar is a luni-solar calendar, which is based on the movement of the sun and the moon. Therefore, adding the twenty-four solar terms can better reflect the cycle of the sun.
