Lichun 立春

February 3rd, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

The traditional East Asian calendars divide a year into 24 solar terms (節氣). Lìchūn (pīnyīn) or Risshun (rōmaji) (Chinese and Japanese: 立春; Korean: 입춘; Vietnamese: Lập xuân; literally: “start of spring”) is the 1st solar term. It begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 315° and ends when it reaches the longitude of 330°. It more often refers in particular to the day when the Sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 315°. In the Gregorian calendar, it usually begins around February 4 and ends around February 18 (February 19 East Asia time).

Happy New Year to everybody.

Here is Egg of Li Chun which captured by Kate Rene early this morning. She will keep the egg till the end of Chinese New Year and the egg won’t fall down at all.

Thanks Kate Rene for photo.
