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.
Lesser Heat, the 11th solar term that falls on July 7 this year, marks the beginning of a hot season, though the temperature hasn't yet reached its peak. Despite the rising heat, people's passion for sports remains undiminished.
Feel the vitality and passion of outdoor exercising together with Xinhua images!
