Spring.
Standing, building also,
When the spring begins,
The beginning of the four o'clock,
Therefore, it is Li Chun.
Also known as the first year of the year, the first day of the new month.
The earth is about to warm up,
All things are going to sprout,
Winter will end,
Spring is coming.
The first of the twenty-four solar terms,
The beginning of the month of Yin,
At the beginning of the year.
The year begins in spring. Li Chun kicked off the prelude to spring, and from this day on, the ice and snow disappeared, the grass and trees grew, the yang qi sprouted, and everything began to be born. This is the end of winter and the beginning of spring.
During the spring period, the temperature, sunshine and rainfall began to rise and increase. But for most parts of the country it is only a prelude to spring.
Lichun, since ancient times, Lichun is also a major festival. China attaches great importance to it from the official to the non-governmental, and the spring has a history of more than 3,000 years.
At the beginning of the spring, Tianzi personally led the three dukes and nine secretaries and princes to the eastern suburbs to welcome the spring and pray for a good harvest. Such activities also affected the population, making it a national spring celebration for generations to come.
Spring is warmth, and all things are revived; spring is hair growth, cultivation and sowing. The period from The Day of Spring to the time before the Summer is called spring.
1. Risshun Weather
In the endless spring breeze, the prelude to the year begins.
In the bright spring light, we use a rich and kind heart to walk towards the spring heaven and earth, so Lichun has three waits: one waits for the east wind to thaw; the second waits for the stinging to vibrate; and the third waits for the fish to lose ice.
Wait for | The east wind thaws
On the day of spring, the east wind gently caresses the face, the earth begins to thaw, and spring quietly nurtures life in the ice and snow.
Wait for | The stings begin to vibrate
Five days later, the insects that had been sleeping all winter slowly woke up to a new beginning.
Three waits for | Fish negative ice
On the fifth day, the underwater fish sense the warmth and swim to the surface, at this time the ice seems to melt, and the fish compete to break the ice.
Second, the spring flower trade winds

3. Spring customs
■ Spring
Li Chun, in the past, people had to hold a grand spring ceremony on this day, which is equivalent to today's Spring Festival.
The Spring Festival is also a day to get rid of the old and welcome the new, before the 23rd to the Chinese New Year's Eve of the Waxing Moon, every family sweeps the house to dust off the dust, cleans the old atmosphere out of the door, and greets the New Year with cleanliness.
■ Stepping on the spring
On the day of spring, people love to go out to travel in the spring on the day of the earth, the wind and the sun, commonly known as going out of the city to explore the spring and step on the spring.
Spring is mainly based on walking, immersed in nature, or hiking on the mountain, or walking in the shade, regardless of speed, only for recreation, the fun is endless.
■ Primrose send posts
On the day before the old custom of spring, there are two artists with crowns and belts, called spring officials. Shouting along the street: "Spring is coming", commonly known as "primrose". Whether it is a soldier, a farmer, an industry, or a businessman, when he sees a Spring Official, he must make a salute.
There is also primrose in the countryside. A person stands in the field beating gongs and drums, singing the praises of the spring, going to each house to report the spring, and going door to door to send a picture of the spring cow or a post of the spring.
Its intention is to urge and remind people that the plan of the year lies in the spring, and it is necessary to pay close attention to farming, and not to make a mistake in the spring light.
■ Whip spring cattle
The "Records of Things" records that the Zhou Gong began to make spring native cattle, and built out cattle to show that farming was early and late.
The arrival of Lichun means the arrival of the season of cultivation and sowing, and successive emperors will hold the whip spring ceremony on the day of Lichun, which is intended to encourage farming and develop production.
■ Bite spring
In the spring season, in order to welcome the spring festival, people have to eat new spring vegetables such as lettuce, radish, as well as spring cakes and spring rolls wrapped in these fresh dishes. People often put these dishes on a plate for people to eat, called "spring plate".
Du Fu's poem "Li Chun" says: "Spring on a spring plate of fine lettuce, suddenly recalling the time of the two Beijing plum hair; the plate is out of the high door line of white jade, and the dish is sent to the green silk by hand." ”
Lettuce and radish, which are ordinary dishes on a daily basis, have become elegant and intriguing cultural finished products under the pen of the poet of Li Kasuga.
The earliest primrose dishes should have been cabbage. Fan Zhongyan pickled it into pickles and said, "Inside the Tao family urn, pickled into turquoise and yellow; in a big mouth, chew out the Gongshang Horn Sign." "The cabbage is chewy and delicious, and it is more flavorful to chew more than a few times, and the original slight bitterness is also sweet.
Ma Lantou's words are a few days later than the cabbage. Zhou Zuoren once recalled the song of his childhood, "The head of The Horseman, the sister married at the back door." "It was fun to carry small baskets and squat in the backyard looking for wild vegetables.
Yuan Ming, a Qing dynasty, said that he loved to eat the young leaves of Malantou, and with the sour vinegar, QingXinxin would defeat the fatness of winter.
"Li Chun Yang qi sheng, grass and trees sprout new roots.". The real meaning of the Spring Festival should be said to be this Spring Festival.
In the spring, grab a handful of green wild vegetables, fry and cook, steam, and fry, turning into a mouthful of greenery and fragrance.
There are thousands of ways to eat the dish, and there are also thousands of flavors. Eating according to the times and eating as you like is an honesty with nature and life. Because the true taste of the world is not in the big fish and meat, but how to eat it in the plain, tender, fragrant and elegant.
