In the main traditional festivals in ancient times, offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors is a major theme. Any ancient traditional festival has a strong festival sacrifice color and a set of simple or complex rituals. In many areas of ancient times, beginning of spring was a festival to worship ancestors. For example, the Records of Xin 'an County in Guangdong Province states: "The people are related to ancestral temples. "

Although the Spring Festival in beginning of spring is not as grand as it used to be, there are still some folk relics in beginning of spring, and there are still some special ways to welcome beginning of spring, such as "playing spring", "biting spring", hanging windmills and having an outing. Beginning of spring is a traditional folk cultural activity.

Sacrificial activities in beginning of spring include offering sacrifices to gods such as Spring God (Ju Mang, who is in charge of farming, also known as Mang God), Tai Sui, land, and other activities, such as whipping spring cattle, welcoming spring, exploring spring and biting spring. The day before beginning of spring, Zhejiang Province had a Spring Festival. Beginning of spring carried Ju Mang to the mountain outside the city the day before, and at the same time offered sacrifices to Tai Sui.
