The period from the beginning of the Spring Festival to the long summer is called spring. In climatology, spring refers to the period when the average temperature is 10℃-22℃ (once every five days).
A long time ago, people only knew hunting, not farming. They are often hungry and have a hard life. Later, with the Shennong family, people began to grow crops and their lives gradually improved. Therefore, the five emperors before and after were very concerned about farming. In the Zhou Dynasty, they even mentioned farming to North Korea and ordered local officials to hold a welcoming ceremony every year to work with the people.
Legend has it that the ceremony at that time was very grand. On the day before the spring, local officials took a bath, put on plain clothes, walked to the suburbs without riding a horse or riding a sedan chair, gathered villagers, set a altar, burned incense and kowtowed, made a local cow symbolizing spring cattle at the altar, and asked the first mate to dress up as a dog symbolizing a bumper harvest and raise a whip to fight against the laziness of spring cattle and usher in a bumper harvest.
