Is the first season of the year winter or spring?

In China, people think that the first season of the year is spring, the Lunar New Year is called "Spring Festival", and "beginning of spring" is regarded as the first in 24 solar terms, which has been proved.

But in Europe and America, people think that the first season of the year is winter, because Europe and America use the Gregorian calendar, and the winter solstice (65438+February 22) is considered as the beginning of winter, while in ancient Rome, the winter solstice is 65438+February 25, which is why many people put Santa Claus on the sleigh at Christmas, because Christmas is the winter solstice and the beginning of winter in ancient Rome. So in Europe and America, the first season of the year is winter.

So if it is a multiple-choice geography exam, you can choose spring as the first season of the year, and if it is an English exam, you can choose winter.
