Spring Equinox — 春分 (Chūnfēn)

Spring Equinox (春分, Chūnfēn) is the 4th of the 24 solar terms, at the Sun's ecliptic longitude of 0°. It is a mid-term (中氣): it falls in the middle of a BaZi month and does not change the month pillar.

Customs

Day and night are nearly equal as the Sun crosses the celestial equator. Customs: standing an egg on its end, flying kites, eating spring greens (“tasting spring”) and walking in the fields.
