Is the Spring Festival in my country in winter or spring?

Whether the Spring Festival is in spring or winter is not necessarily determined, it depends on the specific year. The date of the Spring Festival is fixed on the first day of the first lunar month of each lunar year, and the Beginning of Spring solar term is around February 4 every year. The Beginning of Spring solar term expresses the official establishment of spring. After the Beginning of Spring, it is considered spring. According to the cycle principle of the calendar, the Beginning of Spring every 19 years It will be on New Year's Eve, so whether the Spring Festival will be in winter or spring depends on the year.

According to the customs and traditions of our country’s farming society, the beginning of spring is the beginning of spring. Every year the Beginning of Spring falls on February 5th or one or two days before, which means that spring arrives after the Beginning of Spring.

But many people believe that spring should be associated with temperature. According to this understanding, ten degrees Celsius is generally used as the boundary between winter and spring. When the average temperature is less than ten degrees Celsius, it is winter, and when it exceeds ten degrees Celsius, it is spring. In this way, spring in many places in our country does not always start from the beginning of spring.

my country spans more than 60 degrees of longitude from east to west, and there is a five time zone difference between the Ussuri River in the east and the Pamir Plateau in the west. The easternmost point is at the intersection of the center lines of the main channels of the Heilongjiang River and the Ussuri River; the westernmost point is near the Pamir Plateau. It spans fifty dimensions from north to south, with the northernmost point on the center line of the main channel of Heilongjiang north of Mohe, and the southernmost point on the Lidi Shoal (note that this is not the Zengmu Shoal, which is about 15 nautical miles northeast of it).

This results in inconsistent temperatures in various places, so the earliest and latest arrival times of spring are very different.
