Spring pancakes are eaten at the beginning of spring.

On the day of the Beginning of Spring, there is a folk tradition of "biting spring". Northerners are generally accustomed to eating spring pancakes, which are made by baking or steaming noodles into pancakes and wrapping various vegetables in pancakes.

The beginning of spring is the first of the twenty-four solar terms. Li means "beginning"; spring means warmth and growth. The twenty-four solar terms were originally formulated based on the "shift of stars". When the handle of the Big Dipper points to the Yin position, it is the beginning of spring. The current solar term is determined based on the ecliptic longitude of the sun. When the sun reaches 315° ecliptic longitude, it is the beginning of spring, which is celebrated on February 3-5 of the Gregorian calendar every year.

Although the beginning of spring does not mean the beginning of spring, after the beginning of spring, the Yang energy rises and all things begin to grow. Health preservation needs to comply with the characteristics of spring and pay attention to protecting Yang Qi.
