Playing spring is the common name of beginning of spring, and it is the solar term of spring returning to the earth.

The custom of playing spring originated from the palace. It is said that on the day when spring begins, it should be regarded as a festival both inside and outside the palace and should be celebrated solemnly. As early as that day in beginning of spring, we will break the clay sculpture of spring cattle standing in front of the palace. According to historical records, "Duke Zhou only worked as a native cow in spring." In that case, the years are almost as old as our Chinese nation. The book "Kyoto Customs" once recorded that "the headstrong god is located in the east and the spring cow is located in the west" in front of the palace. After the ceremony, "all the soldiers fought and burned, so it was called' playing spring'." At that time, breaking the spring cow meant urging the old cow to plow the fields, and people took the pieces of the spring cow home one after another as a symbol of good luck.

The mountain god mentioned here is the spring god, who is in charge of farming for one year, which is recorded in the Book of Rites and Zuo Zhuan. On this day of spring, in the temple fair in old Beijing, spring cows are usually sold, and the person who leads the cows draws a picture of a mountain god in front. Ordinary people, even if they enter the city, will invite the photos of the spring cow home, which is the same as the clip of the spring cow taking home. They pray to themselves that the god of spring and the cattle of spring will get the blessing of a bumper harvest in a year.

Painting cows, firecrackers ringing, dressed as spring officials, ran to the road to meet mountain gods and beat spring cows. This ceremony has a long history. And at the earliest, all this was handled by the emperor himself. He wanted to see Mang God and Chunniu in the palace himself. At the earliest, the emperor had to plow, cut the ribbon and make symbolic shapes himself like a model. In the Song Dynasty's Dream of Tokyo, it was recorded that Mang Shen and Chun Niu "entered from the middle gate of the meridian gate, paid tribute to Ganqingmen and Ciningmen, and each of them played in the prison, and all of them retired after the ceremony." It can be said that it is a country of etiquette.

Later, this tradition changed a little, putting the Mang God and the Spring Cattle in front of the palace, not in the suburbs. This change has been recorded in the Ming Dynasty. However, in Beijing, all ceremonies are still organized and completed by Shuntianfu instrument entrusted by the court, which means that the whole world will celebrate and the officials and the people will have fun together.
