The vernal equinox begins on March 20 or 21 of the Gregorian calendar every year when the sun reaches 0 degrees of ecliptic longitude (the vernal equinox). The length of day and night on this day is equal, which is exactly halfway through the ninety days of spring, so it is called the "Spring Equinox". On the day of the vernal equinox, the sun shines directly on the equator, and the day and night are almost equal. Afterwards, the position of direct sunlight gradually moves northward, and the days begin to get longer and the nights shorter. The Spring Equinox is a relatively important solar term. It not only has astronomical significance: the day and night are equal in the northern and southern hemispheres; it also has obvious climatic characteristics. During the Spring Equinox, my country enters a bright spring except for the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Northeast China, Northwest China and the northern part of North China. On the vast land, willows are green, warblers are flying, grass is growing, wheat is jointing, and rape flowers are fragrant. 《2》Autumnal Equinox - The Autumnal Equinox is the 16th solar term in the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar, and usually falls on September 22 or 23 every year. On the day of the autumnal equinox, the sun reaches 180 degrees of ecliptic longitude, and the sunlight shines directly on the earth's equator. Therefore, the day and night are equal in 24 hours, and the phenomenon of polar night and no day occurs around the world. "Autumn wind and rain make people depressed". Due to climate change, lower temperature and less sunshine in this season, people's mood is easily affected, and the human body will also experience various symptoms of "autumn dryness". Therefore, health preservation in this season focuses on restraining the spirit, and it is advisable to go to bed early and get up early in daily life. ——On the winter solstice, the day and night are not of equal length. Or are the days shorter and the nights longer?》During the winter solstice, the nights are longer than the days.——The winter solstice is an astronomical solar term, known in ancient times as "the shortest day" or "the shortest day". On the winter solstice, the sun is at 270 degrees of ecliptic longitude and the sunlight almost directly hits the Tropic of Capricorn. It is the day with the shortest daylight in the northern hemisphere in the year. The time from sunrise to sunset in various parts of our province is less than 10 hours. ——Taboo during Winter Solstice: In Hubei area, it is taboo to have no rain on the Winter Solstice. It is believed that if it does not rain on the Winter Solstice, the weather will be early next year. There is a saying: "If there is no rain on the Winter Solstice, look at the Winter Solstice. If there is no rain on the Winter Solstice, the winter will be sunny." In Shaoxing, Zhejiang, it is taboo to curse or quarrel on the Winter Solstice, and avoid saying unlucky words. In some places in Yunnan, people are forbidden to slaughter animals or allow people in mourning to enter the house on the winter solstice. In Hangzhou, Zhejiang, people sweep the floors inside and outside the house the night before the winter solstice, which is called "sweeping the floor of the previous year". They cannot sweep the floor on the winter solstice. In Huzhou, it is taboo for the elderly and children to go to bed late on the winter solstice. It is believed that the yin energy is the heaviest on the night of the winter solstice while the yang energy of the elderly and children is insufficient, so they must go to bed early to avoid it, otherwise it will be unfavorable. |
