Check out the latest article on Shui Mo Xiansheng website for details!Why isn’t the Spring Equinox called the Spring Solstice?Among the 24 solar terms, the Spring Equinox and the Autumnal Equinox both mean half, which means dividing one into two, with equal day and night and a balance between cold and heat.The "zhi" in summer solstice and winter solstice means "extreme" or "most". The arrival of summer solstice means the day with the longest day, and the arrival of winter solstice means the day with the longest night. The 24 solar terms reflect the changes in seasonal climate, because the spring equinox and autumnal equinox represent the time when day and night are equal. The "zhi" in summer solstice and winter solstice represents the day with the longest day or night. Therefore, the Spring Equinox is not called the Spring Solstice. This is a wrong name. What should we pay attention to in agricultural activities during the Spring Equinox?Areas in the north with little rain in spring should hurry up for spring irrigation, water the plants during jointing, apply fertilizers during jointing, and pay attention to preventing late frost damage; the south still needs to continue to do a good job in drainage and waterlogging prevention. The early rice seedling cultivation in Jiangnan and the early rice seedling cultivation under film in Jianghuai area has begun. The weather in early spring changes frequently between hot and cold. It is necessary to pay attention to soaking the seeds and germinating them when the cold air comes, and sowing when the weather is sunny when the cold air ends.In the northern regions with little rain in spring, resisting spring drought is still an important agricultural activity during the vernal equinox. These places should seize the opportunity of spring irrigation, water the jointing plants well, apply fertilizers for the jointing plants, and strengthen preparations to resist spring drought and frost damage. In spring, when the weather warms up, cold air often invades, especially in the south of the Yangtze River and along the Yangtze River. The cold air from the north meets the warm and humid air flow from the south, resulting in continuous spring rains and a significant drop in temperature, which is what people often call "late spring cold." |
