Falling on March 21 this year, the Spring Equinox, or Chunfen in Chinese, is the fourth solar term of the Chinese lunar calendar. On this day, the sun is exactly above the equator, marking the equal length of day and night.

According to the observations of ancient Chinese people, after this day, migrating birds will start returning to the north, and plants will become lusher with the help of increased rainfall. Therefore, it is a time to observe the growing light, listen to the birds, smell the flowers, and feel the increasing warmth.
