What are the ancient three springs?

The three ancient springs were Meng Chun, Zhongchun and Ji Chun.

Three Springs in Ancient Poetry: In ancient times, people generally called the first month of the lunar calendar Meng Chun, February Midspring and March Ji Chun, which were collectively called "Three Springs".

Meng Chun is the first month of spring. The lunar year is divided into twelve months: Meng Chun, Midspring, Ji Chun, Xia Meng, Midsummer, Late Summer, Qiu Meng, Midautumn, Qiu Ji, Mengdong, Midwinter and Jidong.

Mid-spring is the second month of spring, that is, February of the lunar calendar. Because it is in spring, it is called mid-spring. Mid-spring belongs to the two solar terms of the 24 solar terms: fright and vernal equinox.

Ji Chun is the third month and the last stage of spring, that is, the third month of the lunar calendar, when there is more rain.
