立春，是二十四节气中的第一个节气，也是汉族民间重要的传统节日之一。“立”是“开始”的意思，自秦代以来，中国就一直以立春作为春季的开始。立春以后，大地回暖，万物复苏，生机勃勃的美丽画卷正徐徐展开。春回大地时，繁花渐满枝头，人们在立春时节出门赏花，感受春天的到来。古语云：“一年之计在于春”，立春时，也是启动农事耕种的重要时令，春耕播种的大好时期到来。立春时节，人们还有“咬春”这一习俗，多为吃春饼、春卷、搭配新鲜的蔬菜，让唇齿之间味蕾上，也绽放着春天的清香。
The Beginning of Spring is the first of the all 24 tradition Chinese solar terms, also one important festival of the Han People（不一定需要用one of来体现最……之一，正常表达a an one就可以这样翻译）. The character “Li” (立) in Chinese has a meaning of “beginning”（如果用一个汉字体现含义，最好把汉字体现并附上备注）, since the Qin Dynasty, Chinese people have been long taking The Beginning of Spring as the starting of spring season. After the day of the Beginning of Spring, the earth becomes warmer and warmer and lives starts to come back, unfolding an exquisite picture full of vigor（漂亮不一定需要用beautiful，exquisite会更加有气势）. At the time when spring comes back to the earth, flowers start to bud and bloom, hanging all over trees. People go out for sightseeing in times of the Beginning of Spring, bathing themselves in the breezing spring（感受春天的美丽用feel就行，bath更具备诗意，“沐浴春风”，breeze多指春风等轻柔的风，带给人好的体验的风）. It’s been said since the ancient times that “A whole year’s success depends on a great start in spring.” The Beginning of Spring is also an important sign telling that it is high time farmers started working（it is high time that + 一般过去时，特殊句式，表示”做某事的大好时机“） the land and a best time for spring seeding （a + 最高级也是特殊表达式，翻译成“大好时光”）. Also, people have the tradition of “taking a bite of spring” on the Beginning of Spring, mostly, they eat spring pancakes and spring rolls filled with fresh vegetables, where people feel the freshness of spring throughout yummy tastes that burst out on their taste buds, through their teeth and tongues.
