Is February 12 the first day of spring?

It's new moon today, January 29, and billions of people celebrate Lunar New Year. In 2 weeks on February 12 there will be full moon and billions of people celebrate Lantern Festival, which is as I am surprised to learn, supposed to be the first day of spring. Maybe the inventors of the Lantern Festival live in more southern latitudes?


FWIW, all of my dwarf conifers are still dormant on equinox day in March, they wake up in May.
