Characteristics of solar terms in vernal equinox

The characteristics of the vernal equinox solar terms are: the vernal equinox is divided into two parts, the day and night are equally divided, and the cold and summer are balanced.

One, one divides into two.

The "vernal equinox" is divided into two, which means that a day is equally divided with black. 12 hour each. In ancient times, it was spring from long summer in beginning of spring, and the vernal equinox happened to be in the three months of spring, and the spring was equally divided.

Second, divide the day and night equally.

The vernal equinox is actually a very special day, which means that day and night are divided into two. Divide day and night equally, "vernal equinox and autumn equinox, divide day and night equally". Day is as long as night, that is, day and night are equally divided, and the climate is moderate. At this time, the terminator line passes through the north and south poles, dividing all latitudes into two parts, one in the dry solar hemisphere and the other in the night hemisphere. So at this time, the world is divided equally between day and night.

Third, the balance between cold and summer.

On the day of the vernal equinox, the sun shines directly on the equator, and the temperature in the north and south rises above zero, indicating that winter will soon pass, spring will return to the earth, and the weather will gradually warm up. Everything will enter the spring stage. It is precisely "spring flies when peaches and apricots bloom, butterflies and bees come" that the countryside is busy and wheat has entered the stage of turning green.
