Introduction to Spring Club Day Spring Club Day is in February of the lunar calendar, offering sacrifices to the land gods and praying for a bumper harvest. People are used to drinking Zhonghe wine and Yichun wine, saying that it can cure ear diseases, so people also call it the wine for treating deafness. In Song Dynasty, Jae-Il Lee wrote in a poem: Social people are not in the mood today, so he wants a bottle of wine for the deaf. Disturbed Yutang will want to get through and patrol the third hall vaguely. The Spring Festival in February, also known as the Zhonghe Festival, is recorded in Guangji: the village used Zhonghe wine as a sacrifice to hook seeds to pray for the New Year Valley. According to the book "Integrated Wine Department of Ancient and Modern Books" edited by Chen Menglei in Qing Dynasty, people make wine in the middle of the Sino-Japanese Festival, which is called Yichun wine.

In ancient China, the Society Day Festival was held twice a year, divided into Spring Society Day and Autumn Society Day. The Spring Society prayed for the blessing of the social gods, and the grain was abundant. After the autumn harvest, the autumn harvest society reported the good news of the harvest and thanked the gods. Society refers to the ancient land god. It is recorded in White Tiger Yi Tong Society that people cannot do without soil and food. The vast land cannot be respected one by one, so the land is closed to establish a society. Zheng Xuan's Note: After the earth, the country is also. In the future, sacrifice to the land god for convenience. February Spring Club Day is a festival to worship the land gods and valley gods of the commune in spring, also called Zhonghe Festival. According to "Guang Ji", the thatched cottage was used as a seed to worship the hook as a wine to pray for the new year's grain. It placed the prayers of the ancient working people in China for a better life.

How to calculate the specific date of Spring Club Day? 1. Spring Club Day is the fifth day after the start of spring. So the specific date is from beginning of spring.

2. Another calculation method of the Spring Festival Society is the second May Day before Tomb-Sweeping Day (Wuzi, Wuyin, Chen Wu, Wuwu, Wushen and Wuxu are called May Day, also called Liu Wu). Therefore, the Spring Festival is usually the first ten days in Tomb-Sweeping Day.

The origin of the Spring Festival is one of the oldest traditional folk festivals of the Han nationality. In the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, it was a carnival festival for men and women to meet, and later it was mainly used to worship the land god. The social time of the Spring Festival is generally the fifth day after beginning of spring, around the vernal equinox, but there are also sayings of the second day of February, the eighth day of February, the twelfth day of February and the fifteenth day of February among the Han people.

Oracle Bone Inscriptions recorded the Spring Festival couplets, which has a history of more than 2,000 years. Before the Yuan Dynasty, it was a very important traditional festival in China. However, at present, in Chinese mainland and Taiwan Province Province, only some areas have the custom of worshipping landowners on February 2nd, which is called Land Birthday, Fude Birthday and so on. But it is different from the traditional Spring Festival society.

On February 2nd Dragon Head-lifting Festival in some parts of northern Chinese mainland, some Han folk customs followed the spring society. Some scholars attribute the rise and fall of the Spring Society to the origin of three generations, which first flourished in Qin and Han Dynasties, passed down in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, flourished in Tang and Song Dynasties, and declined in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
