春分｜以春为序，向新而生

春分，是春季九十天的中分点，一般在每年公历的3月20日或21日。春分的到来，意味着春季已经过半，全球各地大部分地区都进入了明媚的春天。春分这天，太阳直射地球赤道，昼夜等长，各为12小时。

春分标志着春季的正式开始，也是农民们开始忙碌的时节。在中国传统文化中，春分是一个重要的节气，人们会根据节气的变化来安排农事活动、调整生活习惯。春分象征着生命的再生与勃发。春分是一个庆祝生命再生之节的节日，人们相信在这个时节，万物复苏、生机勃勃。这种对生命的敬畏和感激之情，也体现了人类与自然和谐共生的理念。

在精神调养方面，要做到心平气和，保持轻松愉快、乐观的情绪，从而安养神气，切忌大喜大悲、情绪波动剧烈而不利于肝气疏泄，与春分时节的“阴阳平衡”特点相应。春分时节，春光明媚，莺飞草长，桃红李白，百花盛放，此时仍然是郊游踏青的好时节，可在风和日丽的时候与好友结伴郊游，增广见闻，以利于肝气的疏泄。

春分与惊蛰同属仲春，此时肝气旺，肾气微，故在饮食方面要戒酸增辛，助肾补肝，同时，由于肝气旺，易克脾土，而且今年在进入二之气后，客气为寒水当令，雨水较多，易生湿，因此饮食方面同时也要注意健运脾胃，健脾祛湿。饮食上可多吃姜、葱、荞、韭菜、淮山、枸杞、土豆、椰菜、鸡肉、鲤鱼、鲫鱼等，同时也可结合药膳进行调理。

在起居方面，虽然春分已进入二之气，天气日渐暖和，但日夜温差较大，而且仍不时会有寒流侵袭，天气变化较大，雨水较多，甚至阴雨连绵。此时，要注意添减衣被，“勿极寒，勿太热”，穿衣可以下厚上薄，注意下肢及脚部保暖，最好能够微微汗出，以散去冬天潜伏的寒邪。尤其是老人及小孩，抵抗力差，容易患感冒或风疹等传染病，更应注意适时添减衣被，可以多晒太阳，以利祛散寒邪。

Spring Equinox marks the midpoint of the spring season, which is generally on March 20th or 21st of the Gregorian calendar each year. The arrival of the Spring Equinox signifies that half of spring has passed, and most parts of the world have entered a bright and beautiful spring. On the day of the Spring Equinox, the sun shines directly on the Earth’s equator, resulting in equal lengths of day and night, each lasting 12 hours.

The Spring Equinox signifies the official start of spring and is a busy time for farmers. In traditional Chinese culture, the Spring Equinox is an important solar term, and people arrange agricultural activities and adjust their living habits according to the changes of the solar terms. The Spring Equinox symbolizes the rebirth and vitality of life. It is a festival celebrating the regeneration of life, where people believe that everything revives and is full of vitality. This reverence and gratitude for life also reflect the concept of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.

In terms of mental health, one should maintain a peaceful and harmonious state of mind, keeping a relaxed, happy, and optimistic attitude to nourish the spirit. It is essential to avoid extreme emotions and intense mood swings that could hinder the liver’s qi from flowing smoothly, in line with the “balance of yin and yang” characteristic of the Spring Equinox. During this time, with the bright spring light, birds singing, and flowers blooming, it is still a great season for outings. You can go for outings with friends on sunny days to broaden your horizons, which is beneficial for the liver’s qi to flow smoothly.

Spring Equinox and Insects Awakening both belong to the middle of spring. At this time, the liver’s qi is strong, while the kidney’s qi is weak. Therefore, in terms of diet, one should reduce sour foods and increase spicy foods to support the kidney and nourish the liver. Since the liver’s qi is strong, it can easily affect the spleen. Moreover, this year, after entering the second period, the guest qi is dominated by cold water, with more rainfall, leading to dampness. Therefore, the diet should also focus on strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness. You can eat more ginger, scallions, buckwheat, chives, yam, wolfberries, potatoes, cauliflower, chicken, carp, and crucian carp. It is also advisable to use herbal diets for conditioning.

In terms of daily living, although the Spring Equinox has entered the second period, and the weather is becoming warmer, there is a significant temperature difference between day and night, and occasional cold fronts can still occur, leading to considerable weather changes and more rainfall, or even continuous overcast and rainy days. At this time, attention should be paid to adjusting clothing and bedding, avoiding extreme cold or heat. Dressing can be thicker at the bottom and thinner at the top, focusing on warming the lower limbs and feet. It’s best to have a slight sweat to dispel the cold evil lurking from winter. Especially for the elderly and children, who have lower resistance and are prone to colds or infectious diseases like measles, it is crucial to adjust clothing and bedding appropriately, and to expose themselves to more sunlight to help dispel the cold evil.
