Welcome Chunfen

Find the spring

Chunfen, or Vernal Equinox  is the fourth of the 24 solar terms of Spring as well as of the Chinese lunar year. It also marks the point when daytime and night equally divides the whole day. After this day, the length of daytime will grow longer than night.

春分是中国24节气中的第四个节气。它也标志着白天和黑夜平均分一整天的时间。在这一天之后，白天的长度会比晚上更长。

 

The day of Chunfen  is not only a significant day in China, but also in many other countries around the world. For instance, it is a public holiday in Japan, while in Iran, it is called “Nowruz”, which is also known as the Iranian New Year. 

春分日不仅在中国是一个重要的日子，而且在世界上许多其他国家

也是如此。例如，春分日在日本是一个公共假日，而在伊朗，它被称为“诺鲁兹”，也被称为伊朗的新年。

 

Except on the mountains and plateaus covered with everlasting snow, the breeze of spring warms almost every area of China. The desolate colors of winter are finally replaced by the green sprouts and the multicolored flower buds.

除了常年积雪覆盖的山脉和高原上，春风几乎温暖了中国的每一个地区。冬天荒凉的颜色最终被绿色的嫩芽和五彩缤纷的花儿所取代。

 

 For the Chinese people, it is probably the most vibrant time of the year, and the best time for an outing. In many areas, local tourism agencies promote routes featuring the best regions for admiring flowers during this time of year.

对中国人来说，这可能是一年中最充满活力的时间，也是一次郊游的最佳时间。在许多地区，当地的旅游机构在每年的这个时候推广

以欣赏鲜花的最佳地区为特色的路线。

 

It is also the best time for children to fly kites. The ancient Chinese people used to write their wishes on the kites in hopes that the gods could see them from heaven.

这也是孩子们放风筝的最佳时机。古人常常把他们的愿望写在风筝上，希望众神能从天上看到它们。
