1. At the beginning of spring, it is the custom to eat five-spicy dishes, spring cakes, spring rolls, radishes and spring tea. The custom of eating the five-spicy dish at the beginning of spring originated in the Tang Dynasty. It includes five spicy foods, including onions, garlic, leeks, mugwort and mustard, which are eaten together to welcome the new year. Eating spring cakes is one of the dietary customs at the beginning of spring in some areas of my country. It is eaten with fried bean sprouts, leeks and vermicelli, which means welcoming spring and praying for a good harvest. Eating spring rolls is popular in the Jiangnan area and has a long history. It evolved from the ancient spring cakes.

2. 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. In the era of the stems and branches, the Yin month is the beginning of spring and the beginning of spring is the beginning of the year. The beginning of spring is the beginning of all things and the rebirth of all things, which means that a new cycle has begun. In traditional concepts, the beginning of spring has an auspicious meaning.

3. The beginning of spring marks the end of the winter when everything is hidden, and the beginning of spring when the wind is warm and the sun is warm, and everything is growing. In nature, the most striking feature of the beginning of spring is that all things begin to show signs of recovery. At the beginning of spring, the atmosphere of early spring can be clearly felt in my country's Tropic of Cancer (Huangchijiao) and the area south of it. Due to the vast territory of our country, with a large span from north to south, and different natural rhythms in various places, "beginning of spring" is just a prelude to spring in many areas. Everything has not yet recovered, and it is still in the winter when everything is hidden.
