The spring equinox has arrived, and the rural proverb says: "After eating the spring equinox meal, a long line a day."
When I went to my hometown last week, I saw that wild vegetables were growing out, a lot of dandelions, cabbage, artemisia... I also found a piece of "wild strawberry", and when it is ripe after a while, be sure to pick some wild strawberries. I remember when I was a child, I often climbed the mountain to pick wild strawberries and eat them. But now, before it is cooked well, it will be picked up, which is quite helpless. It is estimated that it is because there are fewer, and everyone is rare.
I also found a "wild goji berry", the goji buds came out, I think it is too small, now it is a pity to pick it, it will feel a little painful, let it grow for a few days. In a few days, I was ready to pick and eat. But I am still worried about it, because others have also found out, they will act early, and it is very common to pounce, which depends on whose luck is good! It's not like when I was a kid, no one was rare and no one wanted it.

In the Chinese tradition, whenever there are important festivals and festivals, there will be many customs, of course, the spring equinox is also, and the customs should not be forgotten.
