Spring is the first of the four seasons, which refers to the period from beginning of spring to long summer, including beginning of spring, rain, fright, vernal equinox, Qingming, Grain Rain and other solar terms. This is the season when everything comes back to life. China has a vast territory, complex geographical conditions, and the climate varies greatly from place to place.

Summer is the second season in the four seasons of the year, from long summer to early autumn. High temperature is the most prominent climate feature in summer, but due to different regions and different dry and wet environments, different climates will be produced, such as hot and dry or wet and rainy.

Autumn is one of the four seasons. In China, autumn begins in early autumn and ends in early winter. In autumn, the most obvious change of natural landscape is in trees. The city will begin to clean up a lot of fallen leaves, and many tourists will flock to the mountains to watch the maple red.

Winter is one of the four seasons. Traditionally, beginning of winter is the beginning of mid-winter in 24 solar terms. In winter, life is closed and everything enters a state of recuperation.
