On the day of "beginning of spring", commemorative activities have a long history, which appeared at least 3,000 years ago. At that time, the sacrificial Ju Mang, also known as the Mang God, was the spring god in charge of agriculture. Ju Mang is the god of spring, that is, the god of plants and life. Ju Mang's image is a bird with a face. He abides by the rules and is in charge of spring affairs. During the Zhou Dynasty, the East Hall was set up to welcome the Spring Festival, which shows that there is a long history of offering sacrifices to Ju Mang.

Whipping spring cattle, also known as whipping local cattle, originated earlier and has been preserved to this day. Shandong folks want to break the local cattle, and people compete for the spring cattle, which is called grabbing the spring and taking the cow's head as the luck. In addition, there are tea-picking activities to worship spring cattle and turtle activities to announce the arrival of spring in Hubei.
