Why is beginning of spring called Da Chun and beginning of spring the first of the 24 solar terms?

1, there is such a custom in our history. Every early spring, people put on holiday clothes and carry a big paper cow, singing and dancing in the street. After the parade, the cows wrapped in paper were carried to the court of the county government, and the county officials personally whipped them three times, which means: spring back to the earth and hurry to farm. Therefore, people call beginning of spring "Da Chun".

2. beginning of spring is the first of the 24 solar terms, also known as the first month, New Year's Day, New Year's Day and New Year's Day. Standing means "start"; Spring represents warmth and growth. Twenty-four solar terms were originally formulated on the basis of "variable stars". When the bucket handle of the Big Dipper points to the shade, it is beginning of spring.
