Spring Equinox: The Spring Equinox is one of the solar terms that reflect the changes of the four seasons. In ancient China, people traditionally used the Beginning of Spring, Beginning of Summer, Beginning of Autumn, and Beginning of Winter to mark the start of each season. The Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, Autumn Equinox, and Winter Solstice are located in the middle of each season. On the day of the Spring Equinox, sunlight is directly perpendicular to the equator, and the day and night across the Earth are of equal length, so there is a folk saying [Day and night are equally divided on the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes]. After the Spring Equinox, winter crops in most parts of China enter the stage of spring growth.
This book combines knowledge of the calendar with pure calendar tables, including content such as "Calendar," "Solar Terms," "Festivals," and "100-Year Calendar (1941–2040)." The arrangement of the calendar tables follows the monthly, making it convenient for readers to compare and contrast. The language is simple and clear, and the knowledge is rich. It not only helps readers gain a certain understanding of astronomy and the calendar, an important part of China's splendid ancient civilization, but also assists readers in easily retrieving the exact Gregorian dates, lunar dates, weekdays, solar terms, and festivals for every day in the past and future 100 years. It is an invaluable reference book and tool.
