wherein the information about the local time is acquired from a time signal, and the time signal is a long wave signal provided by a long wave timing system, a satellite timing signal, a WIFI network signal, a 4G network signal or a 5G network signal.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lamp control module comprises:

a correspondence data module, configured to acquire correspondence data between the local time and the color temperature and/or brightness, wherein the correspondence data represents correspondence between the local time and a color temperature and/or brightness at the local time.

3. The system as claimed in claim 2 , wherein:

the correspondence data between the local time and the color temperature and/or brightness is data representing the correspondence of various time periods of a day and color temperatures and/or brightness of the sun.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the timing module comprises:

an antenna module, configured to receive a time signal, wherein the time signal comprises data representing the information about the local time; and

a demodulation module, configured to demodulate the time signal to acquire the information about the local time.

5. The system as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the lamp control module further comprises:

a control signal generating module, configured to generate the control signal according to the local time and the correspondence, wherein the control signal causes the lamp to operate at a corresponding color temperature and/or brightness at the local time; and

a signal transmission module, configured to transmit the control signal to the lamp.

6. The system as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the system further comprises:

an offline mode control module, configured to control the lamp to operate in a predetermined offline mode when no time signal is received.

7. The system as claimed in claim 6 , wherein:

in the offline mode, the lamp maintains the predetermined color temperature and/or brightness.

8. The system as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the antenna module is configured to continuously receive the time signal, and the system further comprises:

a signal verification module, configured to verify validity of the time signal; and

the demodulation module is configured to only demodulate the time signal that is verified to be valid to acquire the information about the local time.

9. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the system further comprises:

a special mode control module, configured to determine whether the local time corresponds to a predetermined date, and if the local time corresponds to the predetermined date, control the lamp to operate in a predetermined special mode.

10. The system as claimed in claim 9 , wherein:

the predetermined date is a date of a holiday; and

in the special mode, at least one of color temperature, brightness, color, illuminate direction, rhythm and flicker pattern of the lamp is changed according to a predetermined manner.

11. A circadian lamp, comprising:

a light source, wherein the light source can generate light with at least one color temperature and/or brightness; and

a system for controlling the light source;

the system comprises:

a timing module, configured to acquire information about local time; and

a lamp control module, configured to control the light source to operate in a color temperature control mode,

wherein in the color temperature control mode, the lamp control module provides, on the basis of the information about the local time, the light source with a control signal, the control signal is used to adjust the color temperature and/or brightness of the light source, and

wherein the information about the local time is acquired from a time signal, and the time signal is a long wave signal provided by a long wave timing system, a satellite timing signal, a WIFI network signal, a 4G network signal or a 5G network signal.

12. The circadian lamp as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the lamp control module comprises:

a correspondence data module, configured to acquire correspondence data between the local time and the color temperature and/or brightness, wherein the correspondence data represents correspondence between the local time and a color temperature and/or brightness at the local time.

13. The circadian lamp as claimed in claim 12 , wherein:

the correspondence data between the local time and the color temperature and/or brightness is data representing the correspondence of various time periods of a day and color temperatures and/or brightness of the sun.

14. The circadian lamp as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the timing module comprises:

an antenna module, configured to receive a time signal, wherein the time signal comprises data representing the information about the local time; and

a demodulation module, configured to demodulate the time signal to acquire the information about the local time.

15. The circadian lamp as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the circadian lamp further comprises:

a driving module, configured to adjust the color temperature and/or brightness of the light source according to the control signal.

16. The circadian lamp as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the lamp control module further comprises:

a control signal generating module, configured to generate the control signal according to the local time and the correspondence, wherein the control signal causes the light source to operate at a corresponding color temperature and/or brightness at the local time; and

a signal transmission module, configured to transmit the control signal to the light source.

17. The circadian lamp as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the system for controlling the light source further comprises:

an offline mode control module, configured to control the light source to operate in a predetermined offline mode when no time signal is received.

18. The circadian lamp as claimed in claim 17 , wherein:

in the offline mode, the light source maintains the predetermined color temperature and/or brightness.

19. The circadian lamp as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the antenna module is configured to continuously receive the time signal, and the system further comprises:
