This is the solar term watch of 1957, which combines traditional New Year paintings with new elements to congratulate the people of the whole country on the New Year.
The solar term table is a kind of New Year's picture, and the twenty-four solar terms are printed on the New Year's picture, which makes the function of the New Year's picture rich and can be used as one of the bases for guiding agricultural cultivation.
In addition to the traditional 24 solar terms, this solar term table also prints three sentences: ".The leadership is good, the volunteers and the PLA uncles are good at defending, and the fathers and mothers are good at giving birth.
In the past 1956, landmark events took place at home and abroad: abroad, Martin Luther King Jr. was found guilty, and the Soviet Union invaded Hungary; Domestically, the first batch of 230 simplified characters was announced, the socialist transformation was initially completed, the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China was successfully held, the second five-year plan was opened, and the whole country was thriving.
In the Spring Festival of 1957, when such a solar term watch is hung at home, you will definitely feel warm and proud. It's a pity that the next year was 1958, when China began the Great Leap Forward to catch up with the Premier League and the United States, and then the solar terms from 1958 to 1961 were not so easy and moving. If you don't believe it, please take a look at the following 1960 New Year's painting "Grain and Steel", which has "that taste", right?
Zhou Yuanliang, "Protecting Food and Steel" (1960).
