What are the customs of Hunan on this day in beginning of spring?

Spring Festival is an important activity that begins in spring, so it is necessary to prepare and rehearse in advance, commonly known as spring performance.

Then we can officially celebrate the Spring Festival in beginning of spring. The Spring Festival is held in beginning of spring the day before, with the purpose of bringing back spring and the God of Ju Mang (also known as the Mang God, the God of Spring in charge of agriculture). In the Spring Festival, there is a spring official, a beggar or a prostitute, who announces the arrival of beginning of spring. In the past, there were pictures of Mang God and Spring Cattle in the imperial calendar every year. In Dianshizhai Pictorial in the late Qing Dynasty, "The tortoise reported spring" and "The bronze drum drove away the epidemic" were both important activities that began in the Spring Festival at that time. Beginning of spring still has its own food when biting spring, mainly spring cakes, radishes and so on. In Longhui, spring rolls or egg rolls are popular in jiaozi, and there are many vendors selling spring rolls and egg rolls in jiaozi in the market. There are two points worth noting here: First, it used to be thought that eating radish in spring actually included eating spring cakes and fried eggs in jiaozi; Second, the so-called begging for spring means welcoming the spring. Why eat radish? Generally speaking, it can solve the spring sleep. In fact, biting spring does not stop there. In addition to alleviating difficulties, it is mainly ventilation to keep people young. In addition, in my hometown, there is a kind of so-called eating Wuyang board. Spiced board is actually made up of five kinds of spicy food, with onions, garlic, peppers, ginger and mustard as condiments for meals. Spring cattle made of mulberry wood is a kind of "cow" specially used for the custom of "beating spring cattle" On the morning after the winter solstice, people use clay to synthesize clay blank and carve it into the shape of a cow. Draw a pattern at 4: 08 and 360 days 12 hours. On the day before the spring, the villagers offered sacrifices on the agricultural altar of the appointed Chenghuang Temple or the Land Temple. Later, the venerable elders in the village whipped the "spring cattle" themselves to show the beginning of spring ploughing in rural areas. Then, the masses began to plow the fields. While plowing, I hit "Spring Cattle" and shouted: one dozen "Good weather" and two dozen "Peace for the country and people"; There are three dozen auspicious words, such as "the grain is abundant". In order to welcome the spring, we first choose a piece of land with good feng shui in a wide and flat place in the village and set up a "spring shed" to prepare for the Spring Festival. Spring sheds are generally set on major traffic routes to facilitate the gathering of people. Put colorful flags around. Beating spring cattle, also known as whipping local cattle, originated earlier and has been preserved to this day, which is an important content of folk culture. The significance of beating spring cattle is not limited to air conditioning and promoting spring ploughing, but also has a certain significance of Meishan witchcraft. People want to break the cow, and people fight for the cow's soil, which is called grabbing spring and taking the cow's head as luck. In addition, there are tea-picking activities to worship spring cattle. In addition to the pictures of spring cattle in the imperial calendar, the pictures of spring cattle are also widely engraved in the sand beach New Year pictures in my hometown as auspicious pictures during the Spring Festival.
