Characteristics and customs of solar terms in vernal equinox

1, features: Day and night are almost equal.

The spring equinox solar term is a very important solar term. In a day, the time of day and night is basically the same, which is the fourth of the 24 solar terms.

In ancient China, beginning of spring, Changxia, beginning of autumn and beginning of winter were used to indicate the beginning of the four seasons. The vernal equinox, summer solstice, autumn equinox and winter solstice are in the middle of each season. On the day of the vernal equinox, the sun shines directly on the equator, and the time of day and night is equal all over the earth. Therefore, in ancient times, the vernal equinox was also called "the division of day and night". There are many interesting proverbs about this.

2, custom: vertical eggs

There is a custom of laying eggs at the vernal equinox, which actually comes from a folk saying that laying eggs at the vernal equinox is the most relaxing time of the day. The reason is that the vernal equinox is an equal day in the northern and southern hemispheres, and the inclination of the earth's axis of 66.5 degrees is in relative balance with the orbital plane of the earth revolving around the sun, which is very conducive to spawning. Laying eggs at the vernal equinox can increase our fortune and make us rich next time.
