When did the 24 th Spring Festival Club start?

The lunar calendar of Spring Club Day in 2024 is the sixth day of February, and the solar calendar is Friday of March 15. Club Day in Spring is the fifth day after beginning of spring. So the specific date is calculated from beginning of spring Day. Another calculation method of the Spring Festival Society is the second "May Day" before the Qingming Festival (all six days, such as Wuzi, Wuyin, Chen Wu, Wuwu, Wushen and Wuxu, are called May Day, also known as "six days"). Therefore, the Spring Festival is usually the first ten days in Tomb-Sweeping Day. Spring Festival is one of the oldest traditional folk festivals of Han nationality. In Shang Dynasty and Western Zhou Dynasty, 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 the Han people also have the sayings of February 2nd, February 8th, February 12th and February 15th. Oracle Bone Inscriptions recorded the Spring Festival Society with 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 the land god 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 follow the spring society. For the rise and fall of the Spring Club, some scholars attribute it to "the origin of three generations, which originated 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".
