Brief introduction of vernal equinox solar terms

On the vernal equinox, the sun shines directly at the equator, and day and night are almost equal. Then the position of direct sunlight gradually moved northward, with long days and short nights in the northern hemisphere. The vernal equinox is an important solar term, which not only has astronomical significance: the northern and southern hemispheres are equally divided day and night, but also has obvious characteristics in climate. During the spring equinox, China has entered a beautiful spring scenery except the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Northeast China, Northwest China and North China. On the vast land, willows are green, yingfei grass is long, wheat is jointing and rape is fragrant.

The next solar term after the vernal equinox is Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is the fifth solar term among the twenty-four solar terms in the lunar calendar, which marks the official start of the Ji Chun season, and it is around April 4th in the Gregorian calendar. Tomb-Sweeping Day, Chu, Yu and Jiu San are also called the four traditional festivals of ancestor worship in China. Qingming is a solar term representing phenology, which means sunny weather and lush vegetation. As the saying goes, "Qingming breaks snow, Grain Rain breaks frost." When the weather is clear, the climate in South China is warm and the spring is strong. However, before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, cold air still invaded from time to time, even making the daily average temperature lower than 12℃ for more than three consecutive days.

Qingming customs are rich and interesting. Families steam clean and give gifts to each other, not only paying attention to the prohibition of fire to sweep graves, but also a series of customs and sports activities such as hiking, swinging, cuju, playing polo and inserting willows. According to legend, this is because Tomb-Sweeping Day wants to ban cold food and fire. In order to prevent the harm of cold food and cold meal to people, we all take part in some sports activities to exercise. Therefore, this festival is a distinctive festival, with sad tears to sweep the new grave, parting from life and death, and laughter for an outing.
