The vernal equinox is the fourth of the twenty-four solar terms and the fourth of the six solar terms in spring. The vernal equinox begins on March 20th (or 2 1) and ends on April 4th (or 5th) every year. At the vernal equinox, the barrel refers to the position (due east). Every year on March 20th or at 2 1 day of Gregorian calendar, the sun starts when it reaches 0 degrees of the yellow meridian (vernal equinox). The length of day and night is average, just half of the 90th day of spring, so it is called "vernal equinox". In ancient times, it was also called "Japan-China", "Day and Night" and "Mid-spring Moon". The significance of the vernal equinox, first, refers to the equal division of day and night, each of which is 12 hours; Second, in ancient times, it was spring from beginning of spring to long summer, and the vernal equinox happened to be in the three months of spring, and spring was equally divided. On the vernal equinox, the sun shines directly at the equator, and day and night are almost equal. Then the direct sunlight position gradually moved northward, and the days were long and the nights were short. The vernal equinox is an important solar term, which not only has astronomical significance: the northern and southern hemispheres are equally divided day and night; Climatically, there are also obvious characteristics. During the spring equinox, China has entered a beautiful spring scenery except the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Northeast China, Northwest China and North China. On the vast land, willows are green, Fei Ying grass grows, wheat jointing and rape blossoms are fragrant.
The vernal equinox is a period in which yin and yang are balanced, day and night are equal, and cold and summer are equally divided. The so-called "vernal equinox, yin and yang are also half, so it is cold and summer day and night."
