Why did the eight-character batch take beginning of spring as the year?

The annual solar calendar is around February 4th in beginning of spring, when the sun reaches 3 15 degrees, which is the first of the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar. Beginning of spring said that since beginning of spring, everything has been full of vitality, and the four seasons began.

In ancient China, beginning of spring was divided into three periods: "when the east wind thawed, when the stinger began to vibrate, and when the fish was frozen." The flower letter corresponding to the three seasons is "waiting for the Spring Festival, waiting for cherries, waiting for spring." It is said that the east wind warms and the earth begins to thaw. Five days after beginning of spring, hibernating insects slowly woke up in the cave. Five days later, the ice in the river began to melt and the fish began to swim on the water. At this time, there are still broken borneol on the water, floating on the water like fish.

Spring has come, but the cold in winter has not disappeared. It takes a long time to melt slowly. Only when the earth thaws can everything revive and there is soil for everything to grow. Therefore, the term "three seasons" vividly shows the characteristics and omens of beginning of spring at this stage.

The day in beginning of spring is also the time when the aura of the new year comes. People who breathe the air after beginning of spring are the new year.
