Is beginning of spring a solar term?

Beginning of spring is the first of the 24 solar terms. Standing means "start"; Spring represents warmth and growth. Beginning of spring is the beginning of all things and the meaning of all self-renewal, which means that a new cycle has begun. "Twenty-four solar terms" was originally determined according to the bucket handle rotation direction of the Big Dipper, and the bucket handle rotation was circular, which was closely related to the twenty-four solar terms. The Big Dipper is an important horoscope in the northern hemisphere (China is located in the northern hemisphere). The natural rhythm of the corresponding area in the northern hemisphere changes gradually when the stars rotate, so it has become the basis for ancient people to judge the seasonal changes. In the early days of observing images and timing, bucket handle made a clockwise rotation according to the movement of stars, which was called one year old. Bucket handle turns the Big Dipper from the "Yin position" in the north of Yu Zhengdong (the gossip position the day after tomorrow), then points to the ugly side at the end of December, and then turns to the Yin position in the first month of the following year; Bucket handle returned to Yin, doing Yuan Yun. In the main branch era, "Yin Hui, bucket handle" was regarded as "the first month of spring", and beginning of spring was the beginning of the year. Beginning of spring, spring returns to the earth, everything is renewed, and a new cycle is started.

Twenty-four solar terms are the product of ancient farming civilization. They are associated with heavenly stems and earthly branches and gossip and have a long history. The twenty-four solar terms scientifically reveal the changing laws of astronomical phenomena and natural rhythms, and skillfully combine astronomy, agriculture, phenology and folk customs. Twenty-four solar terms are not only the seasonal system that guides agricultural production, but also the folk system that contains rich folk customs. In the long farming society, the 24 solar terms play an important role, with rich cultural connotation and a large number of related folk culture, which contains a long cultural connotation and historical accumulation. Some solar terms, such as beginning of spring (Lunar New Year), Tomb-Sweeping Day, Autumn Equinox (Mid-Autumn Festival) and Winter Solstice, are both natural solar terms and important folk festivals, and the beginning of spring Lunar New Year, which started at the age of one, is the first of all festivals.
