Beginning of Spring
Beginning of spring is the first of the 24 solar terms. Standing means "start"; Spring represents warmth and growth. [20] Twenty-four solar terms were originally formulated on the basis of "changing stars". When the bucket handle of the Big Dipper points to the shade, it is beginning of spring. At present, solar terms are determined according to the longitude of the sun. When the sun reaches longitude 3 15, it will be the beginning of spring, and the festival will be held from February 3 to 5 of the Gregorian calendar every year. [20] In the era of cadres and branches, silver moon is spring, beginning of spring is the first year, and beginning of spring is the beginning of everything, which means all self-renewal, which means a new cycle has begun. In the traditional concept, beginning of spring has auspicious meaning. [20-22]
Beginning of spring marks the end of the winter when everything is hidden and begins to enter the warm and sunny spring. In nature, the most striking feature of beginning of spring is that everything is beginning to show signs of recovery. As far as beginning of spring is concerned, you can obviously feel the breath of early spring in the Tropic of Cancer (Huangchi Jiao Jiao) and its south. Due to China's vast territory, large span between north and south, and different natural rhythms, the "beginning of spring" in many areas is only a prelude to spring, and everything has not yet recovered, and it is still in the winter when everything is hidden.

Rain Water
Rain is the second of the 24 solar terms. Finger-pointing yin; The sun reaches longitude 330; February 18-20 of the Gregorian calendar every year. Rain solar term means the beginning of rainfall, which is mostly light rain or Mao Mao rain. Proper precipitation is very important for the growth of crops, and it is the reflection of farming culture on festivals. Entering the rain solar term, there is no breath of spring in the northern part of China, but most places in the south are full of spring and a scene of early spring. [7][8][ 16]
The rain solar term generally starts from February 18 to 20 and ends on March 4 or 5. In rainy and solar terms, the direct point of the sun is gradually approaching the equator from the southern hemisphere. At this time, the sunshine hours and intensity in the northern hemisphere are increasing, and the temperature is rising rapidly. Warm and humid air from the ocean becomes active and gradually pushes northward to meet with cold air, forming rainfall. The rainy season is changeable, which is one of the seasons with the most cold wave processes in the whole year, with cold and hot, warm and cold at first. [9][ 14]
Spring is inseparable from rain, which moistens things silently, so that dead trees can welcome spring and seeds can germinate. [16] In ancient times, rainwater was divided into three stages: "One stage was that Rex sacrificed fish; Second, wait for Hongyan to come; Third-class grass sprouted. " [3] Rain During the "July 9" period, the river broke the ice and the geese returned to the north. Folk customs related to rain mainly include "mending the sky and wearing it", "protecting the sky" and "bumping into worship and sending it away".

Awakening of Insects
Sting is the third of the 24 solar terms. Battle nail, the sun reaches 345 degrees of the Yellow Meridian, and the festival is on March 5-6 of the Gregorian calendar. Spine reflects the state of germination and growth of natural organisms affected by rhythm changes. Speaking of earthquakes, the sun's spirit rises, the temperature warms up, the spring thunder suddenly moves, the rain increases, and everything is full of vitality. Farming production is closely related to the rhythm of nature, and the solar term of fright is of great significance in farming, which is the reflection of ancient farming culture on natural festivals. [9][ 15]
"Sting" means "hiding". In winter, insects hide in the soil. "Surprise" means "wake up". Spring thunder in the sky woke up the bugs. The so-called "spring thunder" means that when the spring thunder begins to sound, it wakes up the stinging insects that are dormant in the ground for the winter. In some ancient places, people smoked the four corners of their houses with incense and wormwood to drive away "snakes, insects, mosquitoes and rats" and musty smell. Over time, it gradually evolved into the custom of shocking and beating villains to drive away bad luck. In addition, there are customs such as "covering the drum skin", "eating pears" and "offering sacrifices to white tigers to resolve right and wrong". [ 18][20][23]
The symbolic feature of the shocking solar terms is that spring thunder suddenly moves and everything is full of vitality. Judging from the natural phenological process in various parts of China, due to the large span between north and south, the time when spring thunder begins to ring is different in the morning and evening. "Thunder begins with your surprise" just coincides with the natural rhythm in some parts of southern China.

Spring Equinox
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. [7][ 17][ 18][20]
"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.

Qingming Festival
Tomb-Sweeping Day, also known as outing festival, outing festival, March festival, ancestor worship festival, etc. It was celebrated at the turn of mid-spring and late spring. Tomb-Sweeping Day is the biggest ancestor worship festival of the Chinese nation, which originated from ancestors' beliefs and spring worship customs. Tomb-Sweeping Day has two connotations of nature and humanity, which are both natural solar terms and traditional festivals. Grave-sweeping and ancestor-worship outing are two major themes of Tomb-Sweeping Day, which have been passed down since ancient times in China. [ 1][2][ 1 16]
The second bucket (or solar calendar reaches 15) is Tomb-Sweeping Day gas, and the time of gas exchange in Tomb-Sweeping Day generally changes from April 4 to 6 in Gregorian calendar, which is not fixed on a certain day, but April 5 is the most common. [126] Qingming is a solar term and full of vitality. Everything "spits out the old and absorbs the new", and the earth presents a scene of spring, tranquility and peace, which is a good time to go for an outing in the spring and sweep graves in the suburbs. The festival of ancestor worship in Tomb-Sweeping Day is very long, 8 days before Tomb-Sweeping Day 10 and 8 days after Tomb-Sweeping Day 10 (at the turn of vernal equinox and late spring [129]). These nearly 20 days belong to the festival of ancestor worship in Tomb-Sweeping Day. [ 1 17][ 122]
Tomb-Sweeping Day is a traditional major Spring Festival. It is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation since ancient times to sweep graves and remember our ancestors. It is not only conducive to promoting filial piety, awakening family memories, but also conducive to promoting the cohesion and identity of family members and even the nation. Tomb-Sweeping Day's integration of natural solar terms and humanistic customs is a combination of humanistic and natural conditions, which fully embodies the Chinese ancestors' pursuit of harmony between heaven, earth and people, pays attention to conforming to the right time, place and people, and follows the laws of nature. [ 1 18]
Tomb-Sweeping Day, Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival are also called the four traditional festivals in China. Besides China, some countries and regions in the world also have Tomb-Sweeping Day, such as Viet Nam, South Korea, Malaysia and Singapore. On May 20th, 2006, with the approval of the State Council, Tomb-Sweeping Day announced by People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Ministry of Culture was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.

Grain Rain is the sixth solar term among the 24 solar terms and the last solar term in spring. Combat refers to Chen; The meridian of the sun is 30; Celebrate every April 19-2 1 in Gregorian calendar. Grain Rain was taken from the meaning of "Rain gives birth to a hundred valleys", and the precipitation increased obviously at this time. Seedlings and new crops in the field need the moisture of rain most. Only when the rainfall is sufficient and timely can cereal crops thrive. Grain Rain, like rain, Xiao Man, light snow and heavy snow, is a solar term reflecting precipitation and ancient farming culture. [ 1][23]
In Grain Rain season, in the south of our country, it often begins to appear obvious rainy weather, especially in the south of our country. Once cold air meets warm and humid air, it often forms a long rainy weather. Qinhuai River is a transitional zone between spring rain in the south and spring drought in the north. From the Qinling-Huaihe River to the north, the spring rain decreased sharply. In the northern region, Grain Rain is a symbol of the "final frost". [24][25]
