Why is the time in beginning of spring different today? Some are at eleven o'clock, 14, and there is another one after seven o'clock.
Before answering this question, let's introduce the solar term of beginning of spring. "Li" means "start", spring means spring, and beginning of spring means the beginning of spring. Beginning of spring is the first of the 24 solar terms, representing the beginning of the solar term in the Lunar New Year, and also the beginning of each year in the Zodiac Year, because the traditional Zodiac Year does not start from the Spring Festival or New Year's Day, but from beginning of spring, such as 2065438.
Beginning of spring is the solar term of the first month in the official calendar of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, it is also one of the important traditional festivals of the Chinese nation. In fact, since the Qin Dynasty, China has always regarded beginning of spring as the beginning of spring, not the Spring Festival. The period from beginning of spring to long summer is called spring.
So how did this spring festival come about? In fact, it has something to do with the traditional calendar of our country, or with the astronomy studied by the ancients, because calendars are all based on astronomical phenomena, and the ancients often put astronomical calendars together. On the calendar, beginning of spring is also the beginning of the Lunar New Year in China, usually between February 3rd and 5th in the Gregorian calendar, while the lunar calendar is around the Spring Festival, but the floating date is relatively large, but many people may be confused about the exact time in beginning of spring, so we must start with astronomy.
The 24 solar terms of the China lunar calendar are divided according to the position of the sun on the ecliptic. When the sun reaches 3 15, it will be beginning of spring. When it reaches this scale accurately, it also represents the official arrival of beginning of spring, so the time will be very accurate.
