Is it spring after the Spring Festival?

202 1 Is it spring after the Spring Festival?

Whether it is spring can be viewed from two aspects, one is solar terms and the other is climate.

First, solar terms

As far as solar terms are concerned, beginning of spring is followed by spring. 202 1, the solar term in beginning of spring is February 3, 202 1 year, and the Spring Festival is February 2, 202 1 year.

In other words, beginning of spring on 202 1 is before the Spring Festival, so it is already spring during the Spring Festival.

Second, climate.

The method of "climatic average temperature" takes the five-day average temperature as the standard, and the five-day average temperature after winter passes 10℃ and begins to enter spring. When the temperature is higher than 22℃, it means the end of spring and the beginning of summer.

According to the temperature in previous years, all localities will not really enter the spring until the vernal equinox and solar terms, while the vernal equinox and solar terms in 20021year are on March 20, 20021year, so it is not considered to enter the spring after the Spring Festival.

The Spring Festival originated from "Nian Beast". According to legend, in ancient times, there was a monster named Nian, who had long tentacles on his head and was fierce and unusual. Animals live in the deep sea for a long time, and only on New Year's Eve will they climb ashore, devour livestock and even kill people. So on New Year's Eve, almost all the villagers took refuge in the mountains. Because the mountain is steep, young animals can't climb it.
