On the content of the spring equinox handwritten newspaper

The vernal equinox is one of the 24 solar terms and the fourth solar term in spring. The longitude of the sun reaches 0, and the festival is held on March 19-22 of the Gregorian calendar every year. The vernal equinox is of great significance in astronomy. On the day of the vernal equinox, the sun shines directly on the equator, and the northern and southern hemispheres are divided equally day and night. Since then, the direct position of the sun has continued to move from the equator to the northern hemisphere. In the northern hemisphere, the day begins to be longer than the night, while in the southern hemisphere, it is the opposite. Climatically, there are also obvious characteristics. After the vernal equinox, China has entered a beautiful spring except the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Northeast China, Northwest China and North China. ?

"Equinox" has two meanings. One is "season sharing". Traditionally, spring is between beginning of spring and Changchun, and the vernal equinox is in the middle of the two solar terms, which just divides spring equally. Another meaning is "equal day and night". At the vernal equinox, the sun shines directly on the equator, and the length of day and night is equal, each being 12 hour. The climate of the vernal equinox is characterized by warm and sunny weather. At this time, China folks have the custom of flying kites, eating spring vegetables and laying eggs.
