How to divide the spring?

Spring is the first season of the year, and the time range is from beginning of spring to Long Summer, from the first month of the lunar calendar to March.

The symbol of spring is the beginning of spring, which is about the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar. Therefore, the first month is often regarded as early spring, or early spring generally refers to the period from beginning of spring to two solar terms. As for the so-called "early spring February", it is said according to the solar calendar. In that case, mid-spring is the period from fright to Tomb-Sweeping Day, and late spring is the period from Tomb-Sweeping Day to long summer.

The solar terms in spring include beginning of spring, Rain, Sting, Equinox, Qingming and Grain Rain. This is the season when everything comes back to life.
