Content of handwritten newspaper for spring ploughing and sowing

The contents of the handwritten report on spring ploughing planting are as follows:

After beginning of spring, spring ploughing will begin, and the custom of trial ploughing has been handed down in some areas of China. However, due to the different environmental and natural conditions, the ways and times of traditional customs of spring ploughing production are also different.

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 of images was usually carried out when it was just dark, and the observed stars were called "Mars".

When the ancient "fire" star was dim, it happened to be 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.

In other places, the first day of February is considered as the Spring Festival. Early in the morning, every household knocks on the pot cover for a while to show laziness and welcome the first day of spring ploughing. After breakfast this morning, men usually check the farm tools at home to see which ones need to be repaired and which ones need to be replaced, and make decisions one by one. Do it yourself or ask someone to start sorting out farm tools.
