Playing spring is the common name of beginning of spring, and it is the solar term of spring returning to the earth. It is the first of the 24 solar terms. Beginning of spring is a traditional festival in China. In the Zhou Dynasty, on this day, the son of heaven personally led Sangong to wait until the eastern suburbs to celebrate the Spring Festival. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, people whipped the cattle in spring and sent Koharu cattle to persuade farmers to plow their fields in spring and pray for a bumper harvest. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there have been eating green vegetables, welcoming local cattle, bathing silkworm eggs and drinking spring tea, which has strong traditional folk customs and local flavor.

The origin of spring fighting is a folk custom in China, which is popular in many parts of the country. In the past, county officials greeted spring cows made of clay on the day before spring and put them in front of the yamen. Beginning of spring lashed them with red and green whips every day, praying for a bumper harvest, so people commonly called it "beginning of spring hits the spring".

This so-called "Spring Cow" is made of Sang Mu as the skeleton, and it is made of clay on the second day of the winter solstice. The pattern with a height of 4 feet and a length of 8 feet and 360 days 12 hours was drawn at 4: 08. The day before in beginning of spring, people went to the Xianjia altar to offer sacrifices, then beat them with colorful whips, and drove the "Spring Cattle" back to the county government, and set up wine and fruit sacrifices in the hall. Men, women and children hold "cows" to help "plow", sing and plant yangko, and pray for a bumper harvest.

There is also a saying called "playing spring", which refers to the unemployed people in Hunan in the old society. Before and after the Spring Festival, they beat gongs and bamboos, sang lyrics and asked for money from house to house. This is called playing spring.

There is also a saying that the custom of playing spring originated in the palace. It is said that beginning of spring, both inside and outside the palace, should be regarded as a festival, and it should be celebrated with special solemnity, especially to 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 the early spring". If so, the custom of playing spring is almost as old as our Chinese nation.

The book "Kyoto Customs" also records 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 servants were burned to death, so it was called "DaChun". 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.
