Twenty-Four Solar Terms

This is a prose with "The Beginning of Spring", the first of the twenty-four solar terms, as the first person. The article begins with "Who am I?" And uses gentle and friendly writing to describe the origin of the beginning of spring in agricultural civilization, the emperor Zhou's welcoming of spring in the eastern suburbs and traditional folk customs such as "beating spring oxen" and "biting spring", as well as the phenological wisdom of "the east wind thaws in the first season, the insects begin to stir in the second season, and the fish catches the ice in the third season". The article goes on to describe the gentleness of the spring drizzle that "moistens things silently", the enthusiasm of flowers blooming one after another, and the deftness of the spring breeze in cutting thin leaves. It also intersperses the health regimen of "spring covers autumn frost" and warm human stories in villages, cities, campuses, construction sites, and nursing homes. The article quotes classic poems by Zhang Shi, Du Fu, Han Yu, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, Lu You, Bai Juyi, Zhu Xi and many other ancients, making solar terms and poetry complement each other. The beginning of spring is not only a solar term, but also a new life, hope and the courage to start again. No matter what kind of cold winter and trough you have experienced, spring will come as promised. The article ends with "Let's go", inviting every reader to open the window, go out, and start a new year in the spring breeze and the fragrance of flowers. Spring will not disappoint every seed, and life will not disappoint everyone who works hard.
