Division of seasons and months

The four seasons and months are divided as follows:

1. Spring: Also known as spring, it is the first season of four seasons, which refers to the period from beginning of spring to long summer, including solar terms such as beginning of spring, rain, fright, vernal equinox, Qingming and Grain Rain. This is the season when everything comes back to life. Generally, March to May in the Gregorian calendar in the northern hemisphere is designated as spring, and late September to late February in the Gregorian calendar in the southern hemisphere is designated as spring. In modern meteorology in China, the average temperature in beginning of spring is above 10℃ for five consecutive days.

2. Summer: There are four distinct seasons in a year. The second season is one of the four seasons. High temperature is the most prominent climate feature in summer, but due to different regions and different dry and wet environments, different climates will be produced, such as hot and dry or wet and rainy.

Third, autumn: it is one of the four seasons of "spring, summer, autumn and winter". According to modern meteorology, autumn in north temperate zone is from August 23rd (summer) to165438+1October 20th (light snow). Autumn in the south temperate zone is from February 19 (rain in the northern hemisphere) to May 2 1 (xiaoman in the northern hemisphere). In China, traditionally, the "beginning of autumn" with 24 solar terms is the starting point of autumn and ends in the beginning of winter.

4. Winter: It is one of the four seasons. Traditionally, the 24 solar terms "beginning of winter" are regarded as the beginning of beginning of winter, and "beginning of winter" refers to wind and rain, humidity, light and temperature. At the turning point, the transition from autumn to winter began. In winter, that is, "everything will be harvested in the end", after beginning of winter, everything began to be hidden.
