Famous lines from ancient poems corresponding to the twenty-four solar terms:

1. Beginning of Spring

The willow branches are exploring the buds, and the gentle breeze is blowing the tender grass. The fields are about to smell fragrant, and spring seedlings are being sown this year.

The beginning of spring is the first of the twenty-four solar terms. Its meaning is that spring has begun, "when the sun rises and hibernates, everything is in spring." After the beginning of spring, everything revives and becomes full of vitality, and the four seasons of the year begin.

2. Rainwater

The vegetation is budding, the flowers are blooming, and people are plowing the idle fields in spring. The earth is dense with water, and the dripping moisture is as precious as oil.

In the rainy season, the spring breeze blows everywhere, the ice and snow melt, the air is moist, and there is more rain, so it is called rain. People often say: "The beginning of spring is getting warmer, and the rain is busy bringing fertilizer."

3. The Waking of Insects

The spring thunder rumbles and everything grows, the oriole sings and the willows build high warehouses. The garden is peach-red and the sound of cuckoo is lush and green.

This solar term means that the weather will get warmer after the "beginning of spring", spring thunder will begin to sound, and various hibernating animals dormant in the soil will wake up and start to move, so it is called Jingzhe. "Thunder cries first before the awakening of insects arrives, and the heavy rain is like a dragon."

4. Spring Equinox

The sunny days are sowing and cultivating seedlings, and the wheat seedlings are green and the vegetables are fragrant. In the middle of the season, the flowers bloom on the vernal equinox, the warblers noisy and the grass grows, and the countryside is busy.

The vernal equinox is the midpoint of the 90 days in spring. On this day, day and night are equal in the northern and southern hemispheres, so it is called the vernal equinox. After this day, the direct position of the sun moves northward, making the days longer and nights shorter in the northern hemisphere. So the Vernal Equinox is the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. Overwintering crops in most areas of my country have entered the spring growth stage.
