The Spring Equinox is a Time When All the Flowers Are in Full Boom
百花明媚是春分
The Spring Equinox, four of the 24 solar terms in the Chinese lunar calendar, falls around March 20 in the Gregorian calendar. The "minute" of the spring equinox has two meanings, one refers to the "season equalization", which traditionally takes the beginning of spring to the beginning of summer as spring, and the spring equinox is in the middle of the three months of spring. Another meaning refers to the "equinox", on the day of the spring equinox, the sun directly at the equator, day and night are equal in length, each for 12 hours. The climate of the vernal equinox is characterized by warm and sunny weather, and China enters a bright spring except for the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Northeast, northwest and northern parts of North China.
春分，是中国农历二十四节气中的四个节气，是在每年公历的3月20日左右。春分的“分”有两个含义，一是指“季节平分”，传统上以立春至立夏为春季，春分正当春季三个月的中间。另一个含义是指“昼夜平分”，在春分这天，太阳直射赤道，昼夜等长，各为12小时。春分的气候特点表现为天气温暖、阳光明媚，中国除青藏高原、东北、西北和华北北部地区外都进入明媚的春天。
