First, spring and autumn are greater than winter and summer, and the two concepts of spring and autumn were put forward earlier than winter and summer. Earlier, people used to call the spring and autumn generation a year, which means that the two concepts of spring and autumn have included spring, summer, autumn and winter, and only later did people gradually evolve into four seasons. It can also be said that Spring and Autumn is actually a generation longer than winter and summer, so for the ancients, the status of Spring and Autumn is higher than winter and summer, so there is a saying that Spring and Autumn is greater than winter and summer.
Second, the sacred spring and autumn moment is also related to the ancient sacrificial phenomenon. In ancient times, this kind of behavior was considered to be very important, so every major ceremony required the emperor to personally preside over the ceremony, and the main sacrificial season was actually spring and autumn. Therefore, some people even call the special time of Spring and Autumn a sacred moment to communicate with ancestors and gods, so people should pay more attention to these two seasons.
Third, the names given by later scholars are only the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which must have been put forward by later generations. If we really reach the age of Confucius, mentioning the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in front of others may be considered as nerds, but the origin of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is indeed related to Confucius. The name of a history book written by Confucius in Shandong is Spring and Autumn Annals. Confucius' position in Confucianism can be said to be supreme, and because almost all the literati in the next few hundred years are Confucian children, historians are no exception.
