2. beginning of spring as a festival dates back to the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, there were eight festivals in a year: beginning of spring, long summer, beginning of autumn, beginning of winter, the vernal equinox, the autumnal equinox, the summer solstice and the winter solstice. Only in The Book of Rites, the Moon Order and Huai Nan Zi Astronomical Training written by Liu An in the Western Han Dynasty were 24 solar terms recorded. Before the Han Dynasty, the calendar had been changed many times. At that time, beginning of spring in 24 solar terms was designated as the Spring Festival, which meant that spring began. This term lasted for more than two thousand years, until 19 13, when the national government officially issued a document, making it clear that the first day of the first month of each year was the Spring Festival. Since then, beginning of spring Day has only existed as one of the 24 solar terms and has been passed down to this day.

3. beginning of spring is also called "Dachun", "Biting Spring" and "Priming Spring". This festival, like many festivals, has many folk customs, such as celebrations and activities to welcome the spring, "beating cattle" in spring, and the custom of eating spring cakes, spring dishes and radishes.
