Spring of 2022

Spring break in 2022 is 4: 50: 36 on February 4, 2022.

Beginning of spring is not only the first of the 24 solar terms, but also an important festival. Astronomically speaking, it marks the beginning of spring. On February 4th or 5th every year, when the sun reaches longitude 3 15, it is beginning of spring.

Speaking of beginning of spring, people obviously feel that the days are getting longer and the sun is getting warmer. Temperature, sunshine and rainfall are often at the turning point of the year and tend to rise or increase. The growth of crops in early spring is accelerated, and the water consumption for bolting rape and jointing wheat is increased. Irrigation and topdressing should be done in time to promote growth.

Agricultural proverbs remind people that "it rains in early spring, get up early and go to bed late", and Da Chun has also begun to prepare for agriculture. Although it is spring, most parts of South China are still very cold. "Snow is too late for spring, so it flies over the trees in the courtyard." These climatic characteristics should be taken into account when arranging agricultural production.

Beginning of spring is also called "Da Chun", "beginning of spring" and "beginning of spring". This festival, like many festivals, has many folk customs, such as celebrations and activities to welcome spring, "shooting cows" in spring, and eating spring cakes, spring vegetables and radishes. ?
