1, eat spring vegetables and drink spring soup. There is a folk custom of "eating spring vegetables at the vernal equinox". This kind of spring vegetable refers to a kind of "wild amaranth" that grows by the ditch in the wild. When I was a child, the garden in the rural yard would be full of this wild vegetable in spring, which was green and beautiful. Picked spring vegetables will be made into "spring soup" with appropriate amount of meat. It is said that "spring soup is not dirty, it washes the liver and intestines, and the whole family is safe and healthy", which is delicious and implies beauty.

Rolled in golden beans, it becomes a snack suitable for all ages with golden outside, soft and sweet taste. Northerners eat "bean flour cakes" at the vernal equinox to ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings.
