Twenty-four Flowered Trade Wind, what did it mean? Be more specific! For example, the vernal equinox festival was filled with begonia, pear blossoms, and magnolias. I don't know anything else
The Twenty-Four Flower Trade Wind was a solar term in ancient China. Each solar term would have a specific flower blooming. It specifically referred to the second solar term in spring, the vernal equinox. At this time, flowers such as begonia, pear blossoms, and magnolias began to bloom. In addition, the vernal equinox was also a traditional Chinese festival--on the eve of the Qingming Festival, people would plant strawberries, cherries and other fruit trees because there would be cherry blossoms, peach blossoms and other flowers on these fruit trees. However, the specific blooming time and flower species of the vernal equinox varied due to regional and climate factors, so different regions would have different ways of celebrating the vernal equinox.
