The Historical Origin of Da Chun

The twenty-four solar terms scientifically reveal the changing laws of astronomical phenomena and natural rhythms, and skillfully combine astronomy, agriculture, phenology and folk customs. Twenty-four solar terms are not only the seasonal system that guides agricultural production, but also the folk system that contains rich folk customs. Playing spring is one of the customs of playing Spring Festival.

Playing spring is the first of the 24 solar terms, the beginning of a dry calendar year, the beginning of everything, the beginning of everything, representing the beginning of everything and the meaning of never-ending self-improvement. Twenty-four solar terms were originally formulated on the basis of "changing stars". When the bucket handle of the Big Dipper points to the shade, it is spring. In the era of cadres and party branches, silver moon is spring, and spring is the beginning of a year. Spring, spring comes back, everything starts all over again, and everything is renewed.

In the long farming society, the 24 solar terms play an important role, with rich cultural connotations, resulting in a large number of related folk culture. Some solar terms, such as Da Chun (which evolved into Spring Festival), Qingming Festival, Autumn Equinox (which evolved into Mid-Autumn Festival) and Winter Solstice, are both natural solar terms and important folk festivals. The Spring Festival, which begins at the age of one, is the first of all festivals.

Due to the promotion of the combination of yin and yang in historical development, the folk custom of "Spring Festival" was moved to the first day of January with the combination of yin and yang. Since the folk function of the Spring Festival moved to the first day of January, playing spring has become a simple solar term. In some places, there are customs of playing the spirit of the Spring Festival, such as "playing spring", "biting spring" and "playing the Spring Festival".
