"First, there is the blooming of willow catkins; second, the blooming of wheat flowers; third, the blooming of mulberry flowers"

“一候桐花,二候麦花,三候柳花”

When the three flowers bloom, spring fills the branches

三花一开,春满枝头

The Clear and bright is observed during the period of the seasonal change

清明因节令期间

It is named after the phrase "clear air and bright scenery, all things are revealed"

“气清景明、万物皆显”而得名
