What season is spring and March?

March in spring refers to March in the lunar calendar.

March is called "Spring March";

1, strictly speaking: Yangchun does not refer to any specific month, and the ancients generally refer to the time of outing. That is, before and after Qingming. Specifically, it should be the end of February and the beginning of March in the lunar calendar. The temperature at this time is not too high. It is the time when birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, grass grows and warblers fly. And songbirds, that is, after the vernal equinox, will come out and sing.

Yangchun has two meanings here: First, from the perspective of the twenty-four solar terms, the ancients divided a year into twenty-four solar terms. There are two solar terms on average every month. There are 24 solar terms. Specifically, it is as follows: spring rain shakes the valley in spring, summer is full and summer is hot, autumn dew and autumn frost, winter snow and snow.

Qingming is located in the fifth solar term. It is the first solar term in the last month of spring. Of course, solar terms are not strictly related to the monthly vernal equinox. Qingming may be at the end of February or at the beginning of March. But solar terms are positioned according to what reflects the climate of the ancients.

4. Yangchun means that when it comes to Tomb-Sweeping Day, spring will soon pass. Summer is coming soon. The sun is the sun at this time, which can shine on people. So it's called Yangchun.

5. The second layer means Yin and Yang, that is, Yang means Yin and Yin means Yang. The ancients believed that everything in the world was born of yin and yang. Yangchun means that spring has reached its limit, and there will be no spring soon. After spring, it is late spring. In other words, Yang is Yin.
