What are the taboos and customs on this day in beginning of spring?

One of the taboos: If you don't see a doctor that day in beginning of spring, it means that you have no good luck for a year. This statement is just to win a good name, just like not seeing a doctor on New Year's Day, there is nothing wrong with delaying a small problem.

Taboo 2: It is unlucky for beginning of spring to get a haircut. As the saying goes, hair is the vegetation of the human body, which is warm in spring and grows with vegetation, and the new vegetation is damaged, which is not in line with the principle of vegetation growth in heaven and earth. And there are 365 days in a year, why do you have to choose this day for a haircut?

Taboo 3: beginning of spring should not lie down that day, but walk sitting or standing. It is said that spring warms the earth, which is the beginning of all things, and people should have a good mental outlook to meet the recovery of spring. I suggest you go for a walk in the fields or parks, absorb fresh air, feel vitality and nature, and have a lucky New Year for yourself.

One of the customs: biting spring: beginning of spring has its own food, mainly spring cakes, radishes, five coriander and so on. Whenever the spring world begins, there will be many vendors selling spring rolls in the market.

Custom 2: Whipping spring cattle, also known as whipping local cattle, originated earlier and has been preserved to this day, but it changed to spring in the Tang and Song Dynasties and became popular. Especially after Song Renzong promulgated the Classic of Local Cattle, the custom of whipping local cattle spread more widely and became an important part of folk culture.
