Seek Equilibrium in the Middle of Spring

Editor's Note

You may have heard this before: on a specific day around March 21st, you will find it easier to stand an egg. Is it magic? Let's have a look at it!

It is believed that an egg could keep upright due to balanced gravitational force on the Spring Equinox, a special day when the day and night are equally divided with the sunlight vertically shining on the equator. Meanwhile, standing an egg on the Spring Equinox signifies people's best wishes for a growing family and continuous solidarity.

What's more, the Spring Equinox is also one of the 24 solar terms of Chinese traditional culture, usually on March 21st in the middle of spring. After that, there will be more temperate weather for spring outing, and more rain falling for crop growing.

Spring comes

Here we also get some tips for you: 

When enjoying those activities, we need to be careful of the late spring coldness. During the Spring Equinox when the winter monsoon is in the transition to the summer monsoon, a lasting change in temperature always catch people unprepared: it may be warm and shiny during the day, but it can be freezing cold when night falls. So, it is important to select a suitable amount of clothes to prevent ourselves against the chill.

Besides the fickle temperature, it also rains more heavily and more frequently. As the air humidity rises, to promote spleen function and eliminate moisture accumulation in our bodies, let's have more sweet foods such as jujubes, honey, and nuts. An extra intake of protein and vitamin B could also benefit us in keeping fitness and building strength.

Finally, take rhythmic breath and keep regular schedule; reduce excessive mood swing and maintain our inner peace. Wish we all have a nice spring.
