Plum blossoms of various colors bloom to embrace the coming of Lichun in Lu'an City, east China's Anhui Province.

Lichun is the first of the 24 solar terms in China, representing the beginning of spring.

In Chinese tradition, the four seasons – spring, summer, autumn and winter – are divided into 24 solar terms. This year, Lichun falls on February 3.
