What does beginning of spring eat?

The folk custom of spring is to eat radishes, spring plates, spring cakes and spring rolls.

Beginning of spring is the 1 solar term among the 24 solar terms. Twenty-four solar terms originated in the Yellow River Basin. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, four solar terms were set, namely, mid-spring, mid-summer, mid-autumn and mid-winter. After continuous improvement and perfection, by the Qin and Han Dynasties, the 24 solar terms had been completely established. In BC 104, the taichu calendar written by Deng Ping officially set 24 solar terms in the calendar, and defined the astronomical position of the 24 solar terms.

Beginning of spring is the first of the twenty-four solar terms, and it was included in the first month solar terms in the official yearbook of Ming and Qing Dynasties. The arrival time is on February 3-5 of the Gregorian calendar every year (around the first day of the first lunar month), when the sun reaches 3 15. Beginning of spring is one of the important traditional festivals of the Han nationality.
