The meaning and time of solar terms

Beginning of Spring :
Beginning of Spring is the first solar term in the twenty-four solar terms in the Ganzhi calendar. It is also known as the beginning of the year, the beginning of spring, the first month of the year, etc. In the Ganzhi calendar, the Beginning of Spring is the beginning of the year and the beginning of the month is the beginning of the solar term. "Lichun" is calculated based on the ecliptic. When the handle of the Big Dipper points to Yin, it is the Lichun time, that is, when the sun reaches 315° of the ecliptic longitude. Li means "beginning"; spring represents warmth and growth. As one of the 24 solar terms, the Beginning of Spring, like the Beginning of Summer, the Beginning of Autumn and the Beginning of Winter, reflects the change of the four seasons. It also means that a new cycle has begun. The ancients attached great importance to the beginning of the year. On the beginning of spring, they would worship the God of Spring, Tai Sui, the God of Land, etc., and respect the heavens and ancestors. From this, a series of cultural activities of sacrificial offerings and praying for the new year, such as bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, welcoming the spring and praying for blessings, were derived.
Spring Equinox : The Spring Equinox is the midpoint of the ninety days of spring. One of the 24 solar terms, it falls on March 20 of the Gregorian calendar every year when the sun is at 0° of ecliptic longitude (the vernal equinox). On the day of the vernal equinox, the sun shines directly on the earth's equator. The seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres are opposite. In the northern hemisphere, it is the vernal equinox, and in the southern hemisphere, it is the autumnal equinox. The Spring Equinox is the New Year in Iran, Türkiye, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan and other countries, and has a history of 3,000 years.
"Collected Explanations of the Seventy-two Seasons of the Lunar Calendar" states: "In the middle of February, the word fen means half, which corresponds to the middle of a ninety-day period, so it is called fen. Autumn has the same meaning." "Spring and Autumn Fanlu: Yin Yang Out and In, Parts 1 and 2" states: "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."
The Spring Equinox is also a festival and sacrificial celebration. Ancient emperors had the ritual of worshiping the sun in spring and the moon in autumn. The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty offered sacrifices to the Sun at the Sun Altar.
"Book of Rites": "Sacrifice the sun on the altar." Kong Yingda's commentary: "It refers to the vernal equinox." Pan Rongbi of the Qing Dynasty wrote in The Chronicles of the Capital: “Sacrifices to the sun on the Spring Equinox and to the moon on the Autumn Equinox are grand national ceremonies, and scholars and common people are not allowed to offer sacrifices on their own.
