Topic: „Finding natural harmony together"

Chūnfēn, 春分, is the fourth solar term of the year. Literally translated, this name means “spring border”.

At Chūnfēn, nature enters a state of equilibrium. A process that manifests itself in the equinox. It’s like a pair of scales: when they are horizontal, there is no lighter or heavier on one side or the other.

It is the boundary between winter and spring, which also means that yang energy is now on the rise. Spring begins to unfold its power and the juices begin to flow upwards. Growth slowly becomes visible. But before it transitions from yin to yang, there is this calm, the point where yin and yang are in balance.

Preparation for what is to come

Use the harmony of Chūnfēn to calm yourself down and feel in depth what the year will bring. This atmosphere is the breeding ground for good things to blossom. At ip Chūnfēn, we prepare ourselves to preserve this harmony and carry it further into the world. On the one hand, we unfold the tasks and talents given to us by the ancestors, and on the other, we connect with the opportunities that the coming year offers us with its changes.

In Chūnfēn, we learn how to stay centred. In this state, yin and yang are in harmony with each other. It works the same way between us humans. In our world, there is always I and you. Whether it’s ‘me and the world’ or ‘me and nature’ or ‘me and other people’ – the main thing is that we always find this state of balance in our relationships. This is how togetherness develops, because togetherness means strength. ip knows no boundaries. We create and develop a more harmonious coexistence for the future.
