What festivals did the Ming and Qing Dynasties hold every spring to carry the spring cattle from Chunshan to Wumen?

It is a kind of spring ploughing ceremony, also known as the altar of sacrificing fields. The altar was first located outside Chunming Gate in the eastern suburb of Chang 'an, the capital of Sui and Tang Dynasties, and moved to the east of _ water in Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. The altar is five feet high, five feet square and four feet wide, with a total of 1 floor.
