The solar term before the Spring Equinox is the Jingzhe solar term.
The Spring Equinox, one of the 24 solar terms, is the fourth solar term in spring and falls between March 19 and 22 of the Gregorian calendar every year. The vernal equinox has important significance in astronomy. The day and night are equal in the northern and southern hemispheres. From this day on, the sun's direct position continues to move from the equator to the northern hemisphere, and the days begin to be longer than the nights in various parts of the northern hemisphere. The spring equinox also has obvious climatic characteristics. At this time of year, the weather is warm, there is abundant rainfall and bright sunshine.

What does the Spring Equinox divide?

The spring equinox refers to the day and night being equal.
An agricultural proverb says, "On the Spring Equinox and Autumn Equinox, the day and night are equal." On the Spring Equinox, the day and night are both 12 hours long. This is also recorded in the lunar calendar: "When the Big Dipper points to Ren, it is the Spring Equinox. When the Big Dipper moves around the celestial sphere, the day and night are equally divided in the northern and southern hemispheres. It is also the middle of spring, so it is called the Spring Equinox."
The spring equinox refers to the equal division of spring.
The ancients divided the period between the Beginning of Spring and the Beginning of Summer into spring, which is exactly 90 days. The Vernal Equinox is right after the Beginning of Spring, Rain Water and Waking of Insects. Each solar term is exactly 15 days, and the three solar terms are exactly 45 days, which is exactly half of the spring. Therefore, the Vernal Equinox also means dividing the spring in half.
The spring equinox refers to the equal temperature
During the Spring Equinox, the average daily temperature in all parts of China rises steadily to above 0℃, except in the high-altitude mountainous areas where it is winter all year round and in areas north of 45° north latitude.
