Is the Spring Equinox the Beginning of Spring? Introduction to the time of the Spring Equinox and the Beginning of Spring
Speaking of the Vernal Equinox and the Beginning of Spring, I believe everyone is familiar with them. So, let’s take a look at, is the Vernal Equinox the Beginning of Spring? "The rain from the apricot blossoms wets my clothes, while the wind from the willows blows on my face without making me feel cold." The second month of the lunar calendar in 2021 is a month worth looking forward to. May we all have good fortunes. Check out the latest article on Mr. Shui Mo's website for details!Is the Spring Equinox the Beginning of Spring?No, the Spring Equinox is not the Beginning of Spring. The Spring Equinox and the Beginning of Spring are two solar terms.Introduction to the Spring Equinox: The Spring Equinox refers to the time when the sun is between 0° and 15° of the ecliptic longitude, that is, the period from the Spring Equinox to the day before Qingming Festival, which is approximately between March 20 and April 5 in the Gregorian calendar. In ancient times, the Spring Equinox was also called "the middle of the day", "the division of day and night", "the moon of mid-spring", and "the rising equinox". The significance of the Spring Equinox is, firstly, that the day and night are equally divided, 12 hours each; secondly, the Spring Equinox is in the three months of spring (from the Beginning of Spring to the Beginning of Summer), dividing the spring season equally. Introduction to the Beginning of Spring: The Beginning of Spring is one of the "Four Beginnings", reflecting the change of seasons from winter to spring. Spring brings life, summer brings growth, autumn brings harvest, and winter brings storage. The Beginning of Spring marks the end of the winter when all things are dormant, and the beginning of the spring when the wind is warm and the sun is shining, and all things grow. In nature, the most notable feature of the Beginning of Spring is that all things begin to show signs of revival. As the Spring Begins, the breath of early spring can be clearly felt in China's Tropic of Cancer (Obliction of the Yellow Sea) and the areas to its south. Due to China's vast territory and large north-south span, the natural rhythms vary from place to place. For many areas, "Lichun" is just a prelude to spring, while everything is still in winter. So, the Spring Equinox is not the Beginning of Spring. Introduction to the time of the Spring Equinox and the Beginning of SpringThe Gregorian calendar time of the Spring Equinox is approximately between March 19 and 22 each year. The Spring Equinox refers to one of the 24 solar terms, that is, when the sun is at 0° of the ecliptic longitude (the Spring Equinox point). The festival falls on March 20 or March 21 of the Gregorian calendar.The time of the Beginning of Spring is generally between February 3rd and 5th in the Gregorian calendar. The Beginning of Spring, one of the 24 solar terms, is also known as the Beginning of Spring, the First Month Festival, the New Year's Festival, and the New Year's Day. What should we pay attention to during the Spring Equinox?On the day of the spring equinox, day and night are equal. In the words of traditional Chinese medicine, what we should pay attention to in health preservation at this time is to maintain the dynamic balance of yin and yang in the body. Because heat accumulates in winter, it dissipates in spring. In spring, the imbalance of yin and yang in the human body can easily lead to "internal heat", which depletes the body's yin and fluids and causes symptoms such as dry skin, thirst, and chapped lips. Not only that, spring dryness can also harm our lung health. There is a saying in Traditional Chinese Medicine that “When warm pathogens are received, the lungs are the first to be attacked”, which means that the lungs are the organ most vulnerable to invasion by harmful foreign substances. Never neglect the care of your lungs because you focus on the care of your liver! |
