2. The vernal equinox is the fourth of the 24 solar terms and an important season for farming. The sun shines directly on the equator of the earth, and day and night are almost equal.

In ancient times, it was spring from beginning of spring to long summer, and the vernal equinox was in the middle of three months in spring. The sun reaches 0 degrees of the yellow meridian, and a festival is held on March 19-22 of the Gregorian calendar every year.

From this day on, the direct position of the sun gradually moved to the north, and the length of day and night in the northern hemisphere also changed. The northern hemisphere has long days and short nights, but the southern hemisphere is just the opposite.

Eating more fruits and vegetables during the vernal equinox can supplement the consumption of vitamins and minerals in winter, which is of great benefit to health.
