What season is February? What season is February?

1 and February belong to spring according to the 24 solar terms in China, but there are four seasons in different places, so there are different opinions on whether February is spring or winter.

2. China is divided into four seasons according to the 24 solar terms. beginning of spring is the beginning of spring, vernal equinox is the midpoint of spring, and long summer is the end of spring. Beginning of spring is between February 3rd and 5th in the Gregorian calendar every year, so according to this division, February should belong to spring.

3. In addition, there are ways to divide the four seasons according to the climate. March, April and May are regarded as spring, June, July and August as summer, September 10, 1/autumn, 12,1and February as winter. This division is based on the climatic characteristics of twelve months. Because January and February are still relatively cold, the temperature is the coldest time of the year, so it is winter.

In many literary works, there is a saying that "the spring breeze in February is like scissors". In poetry, February seems very warm, but in reality, everyone will feel very cold when they experience February, and they will doubt whether this February is spring.

This is related to the different chronologies used in ancient times and now. The lunar calendar used in ancient times is more than half a month later than the solar calendar used now. The "February" in the poem is now March, so the temperature is different.
