Meaning of Spring Equinox

The Spring Equinox, also known as "Midday" and "Division of Day and Night" in ancient times, occurs between March 19th and 22nd each year, when the sun reaches 0° of the ecliptic longitude.
According to the "Collection of Explanations of the Seventy-two Seasons of the Lunar Calendar", "In the middle of February, the equinox means half, which is half of the ninety days, so it is called the equinox." Another book in "Spring and Autumn Fanlu: Yin Yang Out and In, Parts 1 and 2" says, "The spring equinox is when yin and yang are half and half, so the day and night are equal and the cold and heat are balanced."
Therefore, the significance of the Spring Equinox is, firstly, that the day and night are equally divided, 12 hours each; secondly, in ancient times the spring season lasted from the Beginning of Spring to the Beginning of Summer, and the Spring Equinox is right in the middle of the three months of spring, dividing the spring season equally.

Spring Equinox Health

1. Since the Spring Equinox divides day and night, cold and heat equally, people should pay attention to maintaining the balance of yin and yang in the body when maintaining health. Stalin once said: "The possibility of relative stillness of objects, the possibility of temporary equilibrium, is the fundamental condition for the differentiation of matter, and therefore also the fundamental condition for life."
In order to obtain this "temporary equilibrium state", the "fundamental condition of life", maintaining the balance of yin and yang in the human body becomes an important rule of health preservation. This rule is crucial in regulating the spirit, diet, daily life, self-care and the use of medicines.
The foundation of health care is how we apply the law of yin and yang balance, coordinate the body's functions, achieve a state of balance inside and outside the body, and make the human body, an organic whole, always maintain a relatively calm and balanced state.
2. From the Beginning of Spring to the Qingming Festival is the budding period of plant growth, the human body's blood is also in a vigorous period, and the hormone level is also at a relatively peak period. Common non-infectious diseases that are prone to occur at this time include hypertension, menstrual disorders, hemorrhoids and allergic diseases.
During this solar term, one should choose a diet that can maintain the coordinated balance of the body's 0 functions according to one's actual situation. It is forbidden to make dietary mistakes that are too hot, too cold, too high, or too low. For example, when cooking cold foods such as fish, shrimp, and crab, they must be supplemented with warm seasonings such as onion, ginger, wine, and vinegar to prevent the dishes from being too cold in nature, which will damage the spleen and stomach and cause abdominal discomfort after eating. Another example is when eating yang-enhancing dishes such as leeks, garlic, and papaya, they are often paired with yin-nourishing foods such as eggs to achieve the purpose of yin and yang complementarity.
In terms of thinking, we should maintain a relaxed, happy and optimistic mental state. In terms of daily life, you should insist on proper exercise, regular sleep, regular meals, and make adjustments in a targeted manner to achieve the best health-preserving results.
