When is the early spring now?

Beginning of spring is on February 4th, 2020 17: 03 and 12 seconds.

Beginning of spring, one of the 24 solar terms, is also called the Spring Festival, the First Month Festival, the New Year Festival and the New Year Festival. Standing means "start"; Spring represents warmth and growth. In ancient times, the method of "bucket handle Acupoint" used bucket handle and the Big Dipper in beginning of spring to point to Yin. The current method of "fixing qi" divides solar terms, and beginning of spring is when the sun reaches longitude 3 15.

In the era of cadres and branches, taking beginning of spring as the beginning of a year, beginning of spring means that a new cycle has begun, which means that everything is the beginning and everything is rebirth. Before Qin and Han Dynasties, the focus of etiquette and custom was not on January 1st of the lunar calendar, but on beginning of spring Day.

Major festivals, such as offering sacrifices to ancestors, accepting blessings and praying for the New Year, exorcising evil spirits and avoiding disasters, welcoming the old year and welcoming the new year, and celebrating agriculture, are held around the beginning of spring. This series of festivals not only constitutes the framework of the New Year's Eve Festival in later generations, but also retains its folk function to this day.

Beginning of spring, as the first of the "twenty-four solar terms", is the beginning of a year in the official calendar, the beginning of everything, and represents the beginning of everything and the meaning of self-improvement. The "Twenty-four solar terms" were originally determined by the rotation direction of bucket handle, the Big Dipper, which rotates circularly and is closely related to the twenty-four solar terms.
