In ancient China, slight cold was divided into three stages: "The first stage is to wait for Yanbei Township, the second stage is to wait for magpies to nest, and the third stage is to wait for pheasants to swim". The ancients believed that the geese among migratory birds migrated along the yin and yang, and at this time, the yang had moved, so the geese began to move northward; At this time, magpies can be seen everywhere in the north, feeling the yang and starting to build nests; The third time, the word "pheasant" means singing. When the pheasant approaches April 9, it will feel the growth of Yang and sing.
