Lichun, the first of the twenty-four solar terms, is also known as the New Year's Day, the New Year's Day, the New Year's Day, and the New Year's Day. Standing is the meaning of "beginning"; spring represents warmth and growth. The twenty-four solar terms were originally formulated based on the "Dou Zhuan Xing Yi", when the handle of the Big Dipper points to the Yin position, it is Li Chun. Currently, the solar terms are determined based on the solar longitude. When the sun reaches 315°, it is the beginning of spring, and it meets on February 3-5 in the Gregorian calendar every year. In the Era of Ganzhi, with Yinyue as the beginning of spring and Lichun as the beginning of the year, Lichun is the beginning of all things and the meaning of all rebirth, which means that a new cycle has begun. In traditional concepts, Lichun has auspicious connotations. People regard the lunar year with "Shuanglichun" as a lucky year.

Health preservation in Spring
As the saying goes, "Hundred grasses return to buds and all diseases are caused". In spring, everything sprouts and bacteria breed. Therefore, in spring, special attention should be paid to hygiene, pest control, and more windows for ventilation to prevent diseases. The climate in spring is based on the atmosphere. In the early spring, the disease is mainly caused by wind and cold, but after the late spring, it is caused by the wind and cold. Therefore, the spring is caused by wind evil. "The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" says: "The wind is the beginning of all diseases." Because several other evils invade the human body through the help of the wind, such as cold evil, heat evil, and damp evil.
