1, strictly speaking: Yangchun does not refer to any specific month, and the ancients generally refer to the time of outing. That is, before and after Qingming. Specifically, it should be the end of February and the beginning of March in the lunar calendar. The temperature at this time is not too high. It is the time when birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, grass grows and warblers fly. And songbirds, that is, after the vernal equinox, will come out and sing.
