Snow, willow, red rain, peach blossom, duckling and spring return apply to which solar term?

Spring has begun.

Winter goes and spring comes, catkins fly, peach blossoms bloom, autumn rain is like red rain, cuckoos sing and return with spring. These three words describe a scene in which winter goes and spring comes, and everything recovers, highlighting the vitality of spring.

Beginning of spring, one of the four solar terms, is the first of the 24 solar terms. It is the beginning of spring and the beginning of a year, reflecting the changes of winter and spring, with long spring and long summer, and harvest in autumn and winter. Beginning of spring marks that the winter when everything is hidden has passed, and it has begun to enter the spring when the weather is warm and everything grows. The most striking feature of beginning of spring is the revival of everything. In words and expressions, the willows are fluttering, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the cuckoo returns, all of which are the actual manifestations of "the revival of everything". Therefore, the most suitable solar term for this word should be beginning of spring.
