Spring Equinox 春分 · Chūn Fēn · ~Mar 20
AT A GLANCE
Day and night split evenly — the term of balance. Aim for balance on the plate too.
How the food tradition reads it
Neither hot nor cold extremes: shepherd’s purse, bamboo shoots, tofu. The season of spring greens at their best.
Tonight’s bowl
Shepherd’s purse & tofu soup — one bundle of shepherd’s purse, soft tofu 200 g, light broth, 8 minutes.
The practice of the term
Get outside — equinox walks are the tradition’s mood reset.
What to watch for this term
- Blood-pressure season — the day-night gap is at its stretch
- Allergies begin their year
Who feels this term most
Blood Stasis — Watch pressure closely this fortnight — warmth and hawthorn
Sensitive Constitution — Pollen count climbs — rinsing routines start now
Watching a pattern is not a diagnosis — flare-ups and chronic conditions belong with a professional.
The season’s anchor
“The three months of spring are called the unfolding… rise early, walk through the courtyard, let the hair down.” — Suwen, On Nurturing Life by the Four Seasons
