Chunfen, or Spring Equinox, the fourth of the 24 solar terms on the Chinese lunar calendar, marks the midpoint of the spring season. It begins on March 20 this year. In the northern hemisphere, Chunfen brings longer and warmer days. After this day, migratory birds will return to the north, and plants will become lusher as rainfall increases.

Spring on the Southern Rivershore

By Du Mu

Tr. Xu Yuanchong

Orioles sing for miles amid red blooms and green trees;

By hills and rills wine shop streamers wave in the breeze.

Four hundred eighty splendid temples still remain;

Of Southern Dynasties in the mist and rain.
