What day of the lunar calendar is the beginning of spring 2019? If you don't know the time of the lunar calendar, what day is the beginning of spring 2019? The time of the beginning of spring is very similar to the time of the Spring Festival, often a few days before and after. It is said that there is no spring this year. What is the matter? This year is said to be the year of widows. What's the matter?

Is it true that there is no spring in 2019

Yes. Because in the whole year of 2019, there is no beginning of spring, neither the beginning of the year nor the end of the year.

Spring time in 2019: Monday, February 4, 2019 (December 30, 1898), which is also the year of the dog.

Spring start time in 2020: Tuesday, February 4, 2020 (the 11th day of the first month of the year of gengzi (rat year)), which is already the year of rat, so there is no spring in the whole year of the 2019 lunar calendar, neither in the year nor at the end of the year.

Spring is the first solar term in the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar. The beginning of spring is divided from astronomy, that is, when the sun reaches the Yellow longitude 315-deg.

What does spring mean?

Spring Festival is one of the most important traditional festivals in China. "Li" means "start". Since the Qin Dynasty, the beginning of the season of mengchun has been in China. The so-called "one year's plan lies in spring". Spring is warm, with birds singing and flowers fragrant; spring is growth, cultivation and sowing.

It has a history of more than 3000 years since the beginning of spring, and China attaches great importance to it from the official to the folk. At the beginning of spring, the son of heaven went to the eastern suburbs to welcome the spring with his three gongs and nine Qings, and the princes and officials, praying for a good harvest. When you come back, you should reward all the officials and give orders to help the people. This kind of activity affects the common people and makes it the spring welcoming activity of the whole people for generations to come

There is also an interesting legend about the beginning of spring. It is said that in ancient times, when spring is coming, the county magistrate will take the local gentry and celebrities to dig a pit in the land, and then put the feather and other light things into the pit. At a certain time, the feather will float up from the pit. This time is spring time, and start to set off firecrackers to celebrate. I wish the next year good weather and good harvest.
