The eighteenth day of the 18th lunar month of the lunar calendar
Usher in the fourth of the twenty-four solar terms
The spring equinox, in ancient times, was also known as "the middle of the day" and "the moon of mid-spring".
The "Explanation of the Seventy-two Waiting Collections of the Moon Order" records: "In the middle of February, the divider is half, and this is the half of the ninety days, so it is called the division."
On this day, spring is divided into two halves, and almost all parts of the world are divided equally between day and night, so it is called the "spring equinox".
At this time, the vast land, the shore willows are green, the warblers are long, the wheat is knotted, the rape flowers are fragrant, and the peach and plum white greet the spring yellow.
The spring equinox is a particularly important festival for the ancients, they will judge the next weather through the climate of this day, and to this day, there are still many proverbs in the folklore.
"The spring equinox is not warm, the autumn equinox is not cold", "the spring equinox is not cold, clear and cold", it is about temperature; "the spring equinox is windy and windy, blowing until mid-April", "the spring equinox is windy and the summer solstice rains", it is about the weather.
At the beginning of this day, the rain in the sky will gradually increase, thunder and lightning will become more frequent, farmers will be busy working, and swallows will face north from south.
A shallow smile, thousands of deep feelings, a little dust and smoke, shallow thoughts fade. When spring arrives, it is not only full of flowers, but also adds a bit of poetry.
Good flowers are not often seen, good scenes are not often there, take advantage of the wind and sun to go out to the green, do not live up to the good spring light.
Under the shadow of time, butterflies are dancing, herbs are swaying with the wind, and we have ushered in the spring equinox.
