Introduction: The Spring Equinox is one of the 24 solar terms. Each solar term has a different name and meaning, but each has its own characteristics and significance. So, what does the Spring Equinox mean? What kind of climate characteristics does the Spring Equinox represent? How did the Spring Equinox come about? With these questions, please follow the editor to learn more! Mr. Shui Mo summarized many festivals and solar terms in the second month of the lunar calendar to help people better understand how to face every day in February.Brief introduction to the Spring EquinoxThe vernal equinox begins on March 20 (or 21) and ends on April 4 (or 5) every year. 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 halfway through the ninety days of spring, so it is called the "Spring Equinox". On this day, 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 grow 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.What is the origin of the 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 "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes in the Lunar Calendar": "In the middle of February, the equinox means half, which is half of the ninety days, so it is called an equinox." In "Spring and Autumn Annals: Yin and Yang In and Out, Parts 1 and 2", it 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 is equally divided into day and night, each being 12 hours; secondly, the ancients used the period from the Beginning of Spring to the Beginning of Summer as the spring season, and the spring equinox is right in the middle of the three months of spring, dividing the spring season equally."When the wheat starts to grow at the Spring Equinox, every moment is worth a thousand gold." Areas in the north with little rain in spring should seize the opportunity of spring irrigation, water the wheat during the jointing period, apply fertilizer during the jointing period, and pay attention to preventing late frost damage; the south still needs to continue to do a good job in drainage and waterlogging prevention. The early rice seedling cultivation in Jiangnan and the early rice seedling cultivation under film in Jianghuai area has begun. The weather in early spring changes frequently between hot and cold. It is necessary to pay attention to soaking the seeds and germinating them when the cold air comes, and sowing when the weather is sunny when the cold air ends. How should different body types maintain health during the Spring Equinox?A balanced constitution is what people call a normal constitution. To maintain your health during the Spring Equinox, you just need to pay attention to a reasonable diet.Qi deficiency constitution is characterized by weakness, fatigue, frequent sweating, and susceptibility to colds. In addition to adjusting your diet, you should also exercise more moderately, because exercise helps to replenish qi. Yang deficiency constitution is characterized by cold hands, feet and stomach. The Spring Equinox should be a period of balance between yin and yang, but people with yang deficiency have weak yang and cannot balance with yin, which makes diarrhea more likely. They should eat a scientific diet and pay attention to warming and nourishing the body. Yin deficiency constitution is characterized by dry skin, hot palms and soles, flushed face, dry eyes, thirsty mouth, and dry and hard stools. You can eat more duck meat and lotus root soup, lily and sesame. The blood stasis constitution is manifested by dark circles under the eyes, dysmenorrhea in women, thick blood in older people, and blood stasis spots on the skin. It is suitable to eat some seaweed, seaweed, black beans, grapefruit and hawthorn. A damp-heat constitution is characterized by susceptibility to blackheads and pimples, bad breath, and yellow urine. You can eat winter melon, watermelon, mustard greens, cucumber, bitter melon, and macaroni in moderation. Qi stagnation constitution is characterized by low mood and susceptibility to insomnia. You can drink Xiao Chaihu Decoction, Daylily Egg Soup, and Oatmeal Milk. During the Spring Equinox, outings and spring outings are very effective. Phlegm-damp constitution is characterized by obesity and feeling of heaviness in the limbs. People with this constitution should eat more winter melon, radish, seaweed, kelp and coix seed. Allergic constitution, prone to urticaria, easy to allergies, skin turns red when scratched. People with this physique should eat less seafood and spicy foods, and drink less liquor.
