When is the auspicious day in Meng Chun?

The auspicious day in Meng Chun is the 16th day of the first month.

Meng Chun is the first month of spring. The lunar year is divided into twelve months: Meng Chun, Midspring, Ji Chun, Xia Meng, Midsummer, Late Summer, Qiu Meng, Midautumn, Qiu Ji, Mengdong, Midwinter and Jidong.

The lunar year is divided into December, namely, the first month, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, winter and December. There are four seasons in a year, spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The ancients in our country divided the year of the lunar calendar into four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter, with a total of twelve months. Every three months is a season, namely "Meng", "Zhong" and "Ji", and the first month of spring is "Meng Chun".

Meng Chun and Zhongchun refer to the first month and February of the lunar calendar respectively. In the first month, the solar terms include beginning of spring and rain, and in February, the solar terms include fright and vernal equinox. Say a few more words, the lunar calendar takes the first month, February and March as spring, which are called Meng Chun, Zhongchun and Ji Chun respectively; April, May and June are summer. They are called Xia Meng, Midsummer and the last month of summer respectively. Autumn, winter and so on.

Solar terms refer to the twenty-four solar terms, which is a supplementary calendar formulated by China in ancient times to guide farming, and is the crystallization of the long-term experience and wisdom of the working people of the Chinese nation.

Since China was an agricultural society in ancient times, agriculture needed to have a strict understanding of the operation of the sun, and farming was carried out entirely according to the sun. Therefore, the "twenty-four solar terms" that reflect the solar cycle alone are added to the calendar as the standard for determining leap months.

China's orthodox 24 solar terms are based on Henan. China's lunar calendar is a combination of yin and yang, which is based on the movement of the sun and the moon, so adding 24 solar terms can better reflect the cycle of the sun's movement.

24 solar terms are: beginning of spring, Rainy, Scared, Equinox, Qingming, Grain Rain, Changxia and Xiaoman? , Miscanthus, Summer Solstice, Little Summer, Big Summer, beginning of autumn, Chushu, Millennium, Equinox, Cold Dew, First Frost, beginning of winter, Light Snow, Heavy Snow, Winter Solstice, Slight Cold and Severe Cold.
