What about the fifth day after beginning of spring?

The time of the Spring Festival club is generally the fifth day of May after beginning of spring, and it is pushed from the old almanac in the order of 60 jiazi, and every 60 days is a round. Among them, Wuzi, Wuyin, Chen Wu, Wuwu, Wushen and Wuxu are called Wuri, also known as "Liu Wu".

The Spring Festival is a time to worship the land gods in spring. There was no fixed date in ancient times, and the dates chosen by the pre-Qin, Han, Wei and Jin dynasties were different. Since the Song Dynasty, the fifth day after beginning of spring was regarded as a social day.

In ancient China, the Social 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.

February's "Spring Festival Day" is the Spring Festival to offer sacrifices to social workers "God of the Land" and "God of the Valley", which entrusted the ancient working people in China with their prayers for a better life.
