立春是二十四節(jié)氣中的首個節(jié)氣，通常在每年公歷2月3日至5日交節(jié)，此時太陽到達(dá)黃經(jīng)315°。從立春開始，氣溫、日照、降雨趨于增多，但對大部分地區(qū)來說立春只是春天的前奏，黃河中下游地區(qū)從時序上進(jìn)入春季，而真正進(jìn)入春季的只有部分南方地區(qū)。在傳統(tǒng)觀念中，立春有吉祥的涵義，意味著新的一個輪回已開啟。BeginningofSpringisthefirstsolartermamongthetwenty-foursolarterms.ItusuallyoccursbetweenFebruary3rdand5thintheGregoriancalendar,whenthesunreachesthecelestiallongitudeof315°.Startingfromthissolarterm,thetemperature,sunshine,andrainfalltendtoincrease.However,formostregions,itisjustthepreludetospring.ThemiddleandlowerreachesoftheYellowRiverenterspringintermsoftimesequence,whileonlysomesouthernregionstrulyenterspring.Intraditionalbeliefs,theBeginningofSpringcarriesauspiciousmeanings,symbolizingthestartofanewcycle.立春是一年農(nóng)事的開端，北方地區(qū)頂凌耙地、送糞積肥等，南方多地緊抓“冷尾暖頭”及時下種。TheBeginningofSpringmarksthebeginningofabusyfarmingyear.Innorthernregions,peoplestarttoharrowthegroundbeforetheicemeltscompletely,transportmanureandaccumulatefertilizer,etc.Inthewarmsouthernregions,peopleseizetheopportunityofthe"warmendofcoldweather"tosowseedsintime.在現(xiàn)代社會，隨著科技的進(jìn)步和工業(yè)化農(nóng)業(yè)的發(fā)展，人們對節(jié)氣的依賴已經(jīng)減弱，但是立春所蘊(yùn)含的傳統(tǒng)文化和智慧依然值得我們珍視和傳承。通過了解和關(guān)注節(jié)氣，我們不僅可以更好地融入自然規(guī)律，也能夠更好地照顧自己的健康和心靈。Inmodernsociety,withtheadvancementofscienceandtechnologyandthedevelopmentofindustrializedagriculture,people'srelianceonthefestiveseasonshasbeenweakened,butthetraditionalcultureandwisdomcontainedinBeginningofSpringisstillworthcherishingandpassingon.Byunderstandingandpayingattentiontothefestiveseasons,wecannotonlybetterintegratewiththelawsofnature,butalsotakebettercareofourhealthandmind.

立春觀三候ThreephenomenaofBeginningofSpring立春有三候，每五天為一候，各自有對應(yīng)的代表性的自然現(xiàn)象。TheBeginningofSpringisdividedintothreefivedays,eachwithacorrespondingrepresentativenaturalphenomenon.第一候“東風(fēng)解凍”。立春后，暖氣流東移，氣溫回升使大地解凍。春風(fēng)送來了暖風(fēng)，這溫暖不僅包含春風(fēng)本身的和煦，還包含著一種訊息，即春天來了，大地開始解凍，萬物即將蘇醒。Inthefirstfivedays,thegroundbeginstothaw.AftertheBeginningofSpring,thewarmairflowmoveseastandthetemperaturerisetothawtheearth.Thespringbreezebringswarmwind,whichisnotonlywarminitself,butalsocontainsamessagethatspringiscoming,theearthisbeginningtothaw,andeverythingisabouttowakeup.第二候“蟄蟲始振”。立春后，冬天蟄伏的蟲類，因?yàn)樘鞖庾兣⑼恋鼗剀?，慢慢從洞中蘇醒過來。Inthesecondfivedays,dormantbugsbegintowakeup.AftertheBeginningofSpring,insectsthathidincavesinwinterslowlycometolifeasthegroundbecomessofterduetowarmerweather.第三候“魚陟負(fù)冰”。在北方，盛寒時水面雖結(jié)凍，水底比較暖和，魚兒潛伏在水底靜候春天的到來。開春后，水面溫度升高冰雪融化，魚兒爭先恐后在尚未完全融化的冰塊和冰片縫隙間游動，因此古時稱為“魚上冰”。Inthethirdfivedays,fishswimundertheshardsofice.Inthenorth,thesurfaceofthewaterfreezesduringthepeakcold,butthebottomseemswarmer,wherefishlurkandwaitquietlyforspring.Inspring,theiceonthewatersurfacebeginstomelt.Fishquicklysensethechangeandscrambletothesurfaceofthewatertoswiminthecracksbetweentheiceandtheicethathasnotcompletelymelted.Therefore,itiscalled"iceonfish"inancienttimes.立春期間依次綻放的花分別是一候迎春、二候櫻桃、三候望春。TheflowersthatbloominsequenceduringtheBeginningofSpringarewinterjasmine,cherryblossom,andpurplemagnolia.立春期間依次綻放的花分別是一候迎春、二候櫻桃、三候望春。TheflowersthatbloominsequenceduringtheBeginningofSpringarewinterjasmine,cherryblossom,andpurplemagnolia.節(jié)氣習(xí)俗CustomsofBeginningofSpring迎春在立春的前一天有“迎春”的傳統(tǒng)。在這一天，掌管農(nóng)業(yè)的句芒神被從城里抬到山上。在迎春儀式上，通常會有大型的鼓樂表演、地方戲和斗牛等活動。在其他地區(qū)，人們可能會張貼年畫，上面寫著“春風(fēng)得意”。在廣州地區(qū)，立春前后有擊鼓儀式，擊鼓驅(qū)疫，祈求平安。thereisatraditioncalled"WelcomingSpring"onthedaybeforetheBeginningofSpring.Onthisday,theGouMangGodwhoisinchargeofagricultureiscarriedoutofthecitytothemountains.Duringthewelcomingceremony,thereareoftenactivitiessuchaslarge-scaledrumperformances,localopera,andbullfighting.Inotherregions,peoplemayputupNewYearpaintingswithphraseslike"SpringBreezeBringsHappiness."InGuangzhouregion,beforeandaftertheBeginningofSpring,therearedrummingceremoniestodriveawayepidemicsandprayforpeace.糊春牛糊春牛是立春前就開始的傳統(tǒng)習(xí)俗活動。根據(jù)傳統(tǒng)，在立春之前，縣政府會聘請熟練的工匠聚集在縣城，精心塑造春牛的形象。一般來說，牛的框架是用捆扎的竹條做成的，春牛有木制的腿，然后用紙覆蓋并涂上顏色。牛的形象一旦塑造成功，就會被貼上紅黃相間的紙，象征著這一年的“豐收”。在春牛完成后，舉行開光點(diǎn)睛儀式，即設(shè)立香案，頂禮朝拜。MakingSpringOxisatraditionalcustomactivitythatbeginsbeforetheBeginningofSpring.Accordingtothetradition,skilledcraftsmenarehiredbythecountygovernmenttogatherinthecountytownbeforetheBeginningofSpringtocarefullycreatetheimageofaSpringOx.Typically,theox'sframeismadefromboundbamboostrips,withwoodenlegs,andthencoveredwithpaperandpainted.Oncetheimageoftheoxissuccessfullycreated,redandyellowpaperispastedonit,symbolizing"bumperharvest"fortheyear.AftertheSpringOxiscompleted,aceremonyisheldtoconsecrateandbringittolife,involvingthesettingupofanincensetableandpayingrespects.打春牛打春牛，是一個在立春當(dāng)天進(jìn)行的傳統(tǒng)活動。通過打春牛之習(xí)俗，提醒農(nóng)人，春天已到，應(yīng)該不違農(nóng)時，及時播種谷物，祈愿一年五谷豐登，國泰民安。“打春?！绷?xí)俗用的春牛，是用桑木框架做成的。"WhippingtheSpringOx,"isatraditiononthedayoftheBeginningofSpring.ThroughthecustomofWhippingtheSpringOx,itservesasaremindertofarmersthatspringhasarrived,andtheyshouldnotmissthefarmingseason,promptlysowinggrains,prayingforabountifulharvest,andwishingfornationalprosperityandpeople'swell-being.TheSpringOxusedforthecustomof"WhippingtheSpringOx"ismadewithamulberrywoodframe.咬春立春這一日，中國許多地方的人們會吃蘿卜、春餅或春卷等時令飲食。這一習(xí)俗被稱為“咬春”。在立春時吃一些春天的新鮮蔬菜，既為防病，也有迎接新春
