Lìchūn - Traditional Chinese Solar Term Marking the Start of Spring #1281247 (License: Personal Use)

This image features the Chinese characters 立春 (Lìchūn), meaning “Beginning of Spring,” rendered in expressive brushstroke calligraphy. As the first of 24 solar terms, Lìchūn traditionally falls around February 3-5 and marks the astronomical start of spring in East Asia, often celebrated with rituals like biting spring vegetables or hanging willow branches. The bold, dynamic strokes convey vitality and renewal central to this seasonal transition.

Used on cultural, educational, or seasonal content pages-especially during early February-to illustrate articles about Chinese solar terms, lunar calendar traditions, or spring festivals; targets users seeking cultural literacy or seasonal awareness.
