Which solar term has the folk custom of vertical eggs?

The vernal equinox has the custom of laying eggs vertically.

As early as 4,000 years ago, China had the tradition of dividing eggs in spring to celebrate the arrival of spring. When the vernal equinox comes, eggs are beautiful. According to the ancient legend, the day of vernal equinox is the easiest day to lay eggs. As a traditional folk culture, it is now passed down by everyone. Vertical eggs actually have another meaning. Spring is coming, and everything is restless. Laying eggs is a good way to remind people to keep a good attitude and keep calm at any time.

Among the customs of the vernal equinox, "laying eggs" and "eating spring vegetables" are more interesting. "Vertical Egg" is a popular game: take a fresh egg, try it several times, and finally try to stand it on the table. This is success.
