Beginning of spring is the first of the 24 solar terms.

Beginning of spring: One of the 24 solar terms is the first of the 24 solar terms. Also known as the Spring Festival, the First Month Festival, the New Year Festival, the New Year's Day and so on. Standing means "start"; Spring represents warmth and growth. In ancient times, the method of "bucket handle Acupoint" used bucket handle and the Big Dipper in beginning of spring to point to Yin. The current method of "fixing qi" divides solar terms, and beginning of spring is when the sun reaches longitude 3 15. In the era of cadres and branches, taking beginning of spring as the beginning of a year, beginning of spring means that a new cycle has begun, which means that everything is the beginning and everything is rebirth. Before Qin and Han Dynasties, the focus of etiquette and custom was not on January 1st of the lunar calendar, but on beginning of spring Day. Major festivals, such as offering sacrifices to ancestors, receiving blessings and praying for the New Year, exorcising evil spirits and fighting disasters, welcoming the old and welcoming the new, welcoming the spring and celebrating agriculture, are held at the beginning of spring and a few days before and after. This series of festivals not only constitutes the framework of the New Year's Eve Festival in later generations, but also retains its folk function to this day.

As one of the "twenty-four solar terms", beginning of spring, like Changsha, beginning of autumn and beginning of winter, reflects the changes of all seasons. Beginning of spring means that the winter when everything is closed has passed, and it has begun to enter the spring when everything is warm and sunny. Due to China's vast territory and the disparity in climate, the specific climatic significance of "Li" does not apply to all parts of the country, and the corresponding area is Lingnan area located on the Tropic of Cancer. The dividing line between winter and spring is on the line from Guilin, Guangxi to Ganzhou, Jiangxi. When spring begins (the longitude of the sun reaches 365,438+05), the area south of this line already has the breath of spring; However, 93% of China's land area is still in winter, and spring often comes to Heilongjiang in Grain Rain or in the long summer. "Li" is just a reference in many areas.
