The Spring Equinox, the fourth of the 24 solar terms, marks the day when the sun is directly above the equator, resulting in nearly equal day and night across the globe.

After this point, days grow longer and temperatures rise steadily in the Northern Hemisphere, ushering in the bright and warm days of spring.

According to traditional farming culture, the Spring Equinox holds great significance as it signals the start of the busy farming season. People also engage in customs such as balancing eggs, honoring ancestors, eating seasonal spring vegetables, and sharing "Spring Ox" pictures, all reflecting a deep respect for the natural order and prayers for a fruitful harvest.
