The origin of the custom of playing spring;

China has attached great importance to agricultural production since ancient times. In ancient times, every day on the first day of the first month, the son of heaven offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, praying for a year of good weather and abundant crops. On the first day of the first month, he personally drove Lei Lei, leading the three nobles, nine nobles, governors and doctors to plow the fields. The emperor pushed the fields three times, the three nobles pushed them five times, and the nine nobles pushed them nine times each.

Ancient emperors had the custom of self-cultivation, and in October every year, they had the custom of driving cattle to send them to the cold. Later, local cattle were also called spring cattle. The day before spring, the county magistrate herded cattle in front of the yamen. On the day of spring, they were whipped with red and green whips, symbolizing the beginning of spring ploughing production, to remind people to cultivate in time and not to delay the farming season.
