After beginning of spring, spring ploughing is about to begin, and the custom of trial ploughing has been handed down in some areas of China.

China was founded on agriculture in ancient times, and agriculture paid attention to the integrity of festivals. Spring ploughing, summer harvest, autumn harvest and winter storage are all seasonal. The change of seasons can only be judged by the change of phenology, while wizards with astronomical knowledge can judge by observing the astronomical phenomena.

In ancient times, the observation images were generally carried out when it was just dark (called "fainting"). The observed star was called "fire", and the western astronomical term was Scorpio A. When the ancient "fire" star fainted, it happened at the vernal equinox. On this day, Vulcan observed that Mars was located in the middle of the south, so he announced to the public that it was the vernal equinox and it was time to sow spring. The ancestors of Chu people used to be the ancient Fire King, which is the origin of Shen Rong's name and the first duty of Fire Zheng.
