What is the origin of the Spring Equinox?

The word "Spring Equinox" means half, which is divided into two, with equal day and night and a balance between cold and heat. In addition, the Spring Equinox also means the equal division of spring. Traditionally, the spring season is from the Beginning of Spring to the Beginning of Summer. The Spring Equinox is right in the middle of the three months of spring, so the Spring Equinox was also called "the middle of the day", "the division between day and night", and "the month of mid-spring" in ancient times.
On the day of the spring equinox, the sun shines directly on the earth's equator, and the day and night are almost equal. According to the Yuan Dynasty Wu Cheng's book "Collected 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 "Spring and Autumn Fanlu" 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." The lunar calendar says: "The spring equinox is when the Big Dipper points to Ren. It is about the time of the full moon. The day and night are equal in the northern and southern hemispheres (except the poles), and it is also the middle of spring, so it is called the spring equinox."
