When is the Spring Equinox in 2017? What should we pay attention to during the Spring Equinox?
Introduction: I believe many people are familiar with the 24 solar terms. It has a long history in our country and was the compass for farming in ancient times. It can be said to be a catalyst for promoting agricultural culture and civilization. The Spring Equinox is one of the 24 solar terms and is also a sign that spring is finally here. So when is the Spring Equinox in 2017? Are there any things we need to pay attention to? Let’s follow the editor to find out. Mr. Shui Mo will introduce to you what will happen in February 2017 in the second month of the lunar calendar, because February is the beginning of spring, and the earth begins to wake up and look forward to the arrival of spring.When is the Spring Equinox in 2017?Gregorian calendar: Monday, March 20, 2017 18:28:35Lunar calendar: The 23rd day of the second month (big month) of the Dingyou year in the lunar calendar is the spring equinox, which is the midpoint of the 90 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. "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. On the day of the vernal equinox, the sun shines almost directly on the equator, and the day and night are almost equal in most parts of the world. However, near the North Pole (90° north latitude) and the South Pole (90° south latitude), a special phenomenon can be observed where the sun circles on the horizon all day long. After the vernal equinox, the position of direct sunlight continues to move northward, and the days begin to become longer and the nights shorter in the Northern Hemisphere. 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, but 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. During the Spring Equinox, the average daily temperature in all parts of China rises steadily to above 0℃, except in the high-altitude mountainous areas where it is winter all year round and in areas north of 45° north latitude. At this time, the severe cold has passed and the temperature has risen rapidly, especially in North China and the Huanghuai Plain. The average daily temperature has risen to above 10℃ almost at the same time as the rainy areas along the Yangtze River in the south of the Yangtze River, ushering in the bright spring. During the Spring Equinox, the East Asian trough has significantly weakened, and the trough-ridge activity in the westerly belt has increased significantly. Low pressure activities and cyclone development are common from Mongolia to the Northeast. The movement of low pressure guides the cold air southward, and the northern region is prone to strong winds and sandstorms. When the long wave trough moves eastward, affected by the convergence of cold and warm air masses, continuous rain and late spring cold weather will occur.
