The Spring Equinox is the fourth of China's 24 solar terms. It is not just an astronomical event but also holds cultural significance. On this day, the sun shines directly on the equator, making day and night equal, symbolizing the balance of yin and yang. It also marks the beginning of the prime sowing season. Traditional customs, such as picking spring greens and balancing eggs, allow people to embrace nature's beauty and welcome the bright days of spring.
