春分 Chunfen: literally means “vernal equinox”
Chunfen is a term that indicates an equal length of day and night. It usually begins on around 20 March and ends on around 4 April.
春分代表著春天已經過了一半。這天晝夜平分。通常在國曆3月20日至4月4日。
On the day of Chunfen, the sun moves to the celestial longitude 0°and the direct solar radiation is on the equator, and the daytime becomes longer than the nighttime. The weather is ever-changing, so people will be sick easily and the probability of crops being infected rise.
「春分」這一天，太陽會直射在赤道，所以南、北半球受到日照的時間一樣長。從今天起，白天會越來越長，夜晚則一天比一天短了。由於氣候變化大，人們容易生病，農作物感染病蟲害的機率也大增。

「春分有雨病人稀，五榖稻作處處宜」
If the day of Chunfen rains, people will notice it and put more clothes on, and this will reduce the probability of getting sick. Moreover, crops will grow more easily because of the moisture.
春分如果下雨，人們就會特別注意天氣的變化，增添衣物。而五榖、稻作也因有雨水的滋潤，會更容易生長。
