What are the implications and traditions of the vernal equinox and the traditional vernal equinox?

1, the meaning of vernal equinox: Day and night are almost equal.

The vernal equinox is one of the solar terms reflecting the changes of the four seasons and the fourth of the 24 solar terms. In ancient China, beginning of spring, Changxia, beginning of autumn and beginning of winter were used to indicate the beginning of the four seasons. The vernal equinox, summer solstice, autumn equinox and winter solstice are in the middle of each season. On the vernal equinox, the sun shines directly on the equator, and the time between day and night is equal all over the earth. Therefore, the ancient vernal equinox and autumnal equinox are also called "equinox", and there is a folk proverb that "vernal equinox and autumnal equinox are equally divided day and night".

2. The tradition of vernal equinox

(1) vertical egg

When the vernal equinox comes, eggs are beautiful. The vernal equinox is the day when yin and yang are half and half, and it is the easiest to lay eggs. The reason is that the vernal equinox is a day in which day and night are equal in the northern and southern hemispheres, and the earth's axis is tilted by 66.5 degrees, which is in a relatively balanced state with the earth's orbital plane around the sun, which is very conducive to laying an egg. Eggs will thrive in spring.

(2) Flying kites

The fresh air rises and the breeze comes, which is most suitable for flying kites. You can fly a kite to exercise your muscles and eliminate spring sleepiness and depression.
