声音简介

立春，为二十四节气之首，又名正月节、岁节、改岁、岁旦等。立，是“开始”之意；春，代表着温暖、生长。

立春标志着万物闭藏的冬季已过去，开始进入风和日暖、万物生长的春季。在自然界，立春最显著的特点就是万物开始有复苏的迹象。时至立春，在我国的北回归线及其以南一带，可明显感觉到早春的气息。由于我国幅员辽阔，南北跨度大，各地自然节律不一，“立春”对于很多地区来讲只是一番“立意”，出现了春天的前奏，万物尚未复苏。

立春岁首对于传统农耕社会具有重要的意义，重大的拜神祭祖、祈岁纳福、驱邪禳灾、除旧布新、迎新春等庆典均安排在立春日及其前后时段举行。

Lichun, also known as “Start of Spring”, is the first term of the 24 solar terms. In the old days, Start of Spring was an important day, when people had a big celebration. Today, the Hebei people have many special customs.

First, people must eat some spicy vegetables including onion, ginger and garlic, because they are good for people’s stomach. Second, some children should make rings out of branches, and put them on their heads. This is to welcome the spring. Third, some people should try not to argue with others, so that they will have a happy and successful year. Finally, people also make spring pancakes and eat them on this day. This pancake, which has vegetables and meat inside, depicts people’s wish for the new year.

Like the Spring Festival, Start of Spring is also a day for everyone to welcome spring and the start of a new year.
