How to calculate the first day of the Awakening of Insects  
 

惊蛰

(Source: tupian.hudong.com)

Formula: [Y*D+C]-L Key: Y = the last two digits of a year (e.g., 10 in 2010, 08 in 2008), D = 0.2422, L = the number of leap years, 21st Century C =5.63

Example: The first day of Awakening of Insects in 2008 =[88×.0.2422+5.63]-[88/4]=26-22=4, so the Awakening of Insects starts on March 4th.

Exceptions: None
