Whip cows

On the day of beginning of spring, people have the custom of "whipping spring" and "beating spring", that is, whipping spring cattle. This way reflects people's good expectations for a bumper harvest.

Usually, an old man will be elected in the village, who will symbolically whip the spring cattle three times, indicating the beginning of a year's farming. Then the villagers smashed the mud cows, returned them to the soil and scattered them in their respective farmland in order to have a good harvest that year.

Pick up the grain and put it back in your warehouse, which means that the warehouse is full of grain.
