春分茶会

春分，是二十四节气之一，也是阴阳平衡、万物复苏的重要时刻。这一天，太阳直射赤道，南北半球昼夜均等，《春秋繁露》曰：“春分者，阴阳相半也。”春分不仅是自然节律的体现，更蕴含着中国传统文化的平衡智慧。让我们以茶会友，在品茗、游戏、饮食与茶道的仪式中，感受春分的独特韵味。

1. 春分的由来：平衡之美

“日月阴阳两均天，玄鸟不辞桃花寒。”春分标志着阴阳各半，昼夜平分。此时天地能量交融，人体也处于调整阴阳平衡的关键节点。顺应自然、调和身心，是春分节气养生的重要理念。

2. 春分游戏：竖蛋与度量衡

竖蛋游戏：春分这一天，人们喜欢做“竖蛋”实验——用耐心和细心将新鲜鸡蛋立在桌面上。古人认为“春分到，蛋儿俏”，这一现象寓意着天地均衡、万物蓬勃。

校正度量衡：古代人们还会在春分校准秤、斗等工具，象征公平公正，以确保交易诚信。春分之日，不仅关乎自然的均衡，也映射出人心对和谐秩序的追求。

3. 春分饮食：顺时养肝，健脾调胃

春天属木，肝气旺盛，脾胃易受影响。饮食上需注意平衡酸甘，避免助长肝火：

少食酸性食物：如牛羊肉、虾蟹等，以免肝气过旺损伤脾胃。

适当补甘养脾：推荐山药、黑米、红枣、核桃等甘味食物，助力脾胃运化，扶持阳气生发。

不宜过度进补：春季重在顺势养阳，过度滋补反而容易抑制阳气升腾，加剧肝火上亢。

4. 春分品茶：以茶养生，以味调和

明目茶：舒肝调神，缓解眼睛疲劳，适合长时间用眼或精神紧绷的人群。

补肾茶：滋养肾气，帮助恢复精力。肾主藏精、过滤杂质，春季适当饮用补肾茶，有助于稳固根本、平衡生机。

5. 春分茶道：觉察与和谐之道

泡一壶茶，将心安放于每一口茶汤、每一缕香气之中。聆听内心、感知万物，不执着于一端，便能在流转不息的自然节奏里，体会“天地人物和容无二”的茶道哲学。春分，是外在世界的平衡，也是内在心境的返璞归真。

Spring Equinox Tea Gathering

The Spring Equinox, one of the twenty-four solar terms, marks a moment of balance when day and night are equal, and yin and yang are in harmony. On this day, the sun shines directly on the equator, and both hemispheres experience equal lengths of daylight and darkness. As described in The Luxuriant Dew of the Spring and Autumn Annals: "The Spring Equinox is when yin and yang are in equal measure." Beyond its astronomical significance, this day reflects the ancient Chinese philosophy of balance and offers a beautiful opportunity to align with nature through tea, games, food, and mindful practices.

1. The Origin of the Spring Equinox: The Beauty of Balance

"Day and night are equal; the swallows return, undeterred by the lingering cold of peach blossoms." The Spring Equinox symbolizes the harmony of yin and yang. It is a pivotal time to adjust the body’s internal balance, harmonize with nature’s rhythms, and cultivate well-being in body and mind.

2. Spring Equinox Games: Egg Balancing & Calibration of Scales

Egg Balancing Game: On the Spring Equinox, people worldwide try to balance a fresh egg upright on a flat surface. This tradition, originating in China, has become a global phenomenon. The saying goes, "When the Spring Equinox arrives, eggs stand tall," symbolizing equilibrium and the vitality of new life.

Calibrating Scales: In ancient times, people would check and recalibrate measuring tools, such as scales and containers, on this day. This practice symbolized fairness and honesty in trade, reflecting the cultural value of justice and integrity. The Spring Equinox is not only a celestial event but also a reminder of humanity’s pursuit of social harmony and balance.

3. Spring Equinox Diet: Nourishing the Liver and Strengthening Digestion

Spring corresponds to the energy of growth, but an excess of certain foods can disturb the body’s natural balance:

Limit acidic foods: Overconsumption of acidic foods, such as lamb, shrimp, or crab, can overactivate the liver, leading to digestive issues.

Support the spleen with sweet flavors: Incorporate foods like yam, black rice, red dates, and walnuts to nourish the spleen and aid digestion.

Avoid heavy tonics: In spring, over-supplementing can suppress the rising yang energy, intensifying liver fire. It’s best to eat light, natural foods that encourage the body’s gentle awakening.

4. Spring Equinox Tea: Healing Through Flavor

Eye-Clearing Tea: Soothes the liver, relaxes the mind, and relieves eye discomfort, perfect for those who experience eye strain or mental fatigue.

Kidney Health Tea: Supports kidney function, replenishes both congenital and acquired qi (vital energy), and helps restore physical energy and vitality.

5. Spring Equinox Tea Ceremony: The Art of Awareness

During a tea ceremony, place your awareness on every aspect of the experience — the sound of boiling water, the rising steam, the taste of each sip. In this mindful state, the heart remains still, untouched by extremes. This practice echoes the ancient wisdom of “oneness” — the unity of heaven, earth, and humanity. The Spring Equinox reminds us that true harmony lies in observing and embracing the balance within and without.
