关于立春你需要知道的9件事9?things?you?may?not?know?about?Start?of?Spring 立春，是二十四节气中的第一个节气，明清官方历书中被归入正月节气；到达时间点在公历每年2月3-5日（农历正月初一前后），太阳到达黄经315°时。 立春是汉族民间重要的传统节日之一。“立”是“开始”的意思，自秦代以来，中国就一直以立春作为春季的开始。立春是从天文上来划分的，春是温暖，鸟语花香；春是生长，耕耘播种。 从立春交节当日一直到立夏前这段期间，都被称为春天。 所谓“一年之计在于春”，自古以来立春就是一个重大节日，叫春节（到民国后被易名）。中国自官方到民间都极为重视，立春之日迎春已有三千多年历史。立春时天子亲率三公九卿、诸侯大夫去东郊迎春，祈求丰收。回来之后，要赏赐群臣，布德令以施惠兆民。这种活动影响到庶民，使之成为后来世世代代的全民的迎春活动。 【原滋原味英语文摘】 The?traditional?Chinese?lunar?calendar?divides?the?year?into?24?solar?terms.?Start?of?Spring(Chinese: 立春),?the?first?solar?term?of?the?year,?begins?this?year?on?Feb?4?and?ends?on?Feb18.
