Why is a spring outing also called an outing?

Spring outing, also known as spring outing, generally refers to walking in the suburbs in early spring.

This seasonal folk activity, outing, has a long history in China, and its source is the ancient custom of spring festival farming sacrifice.

"Biography of Shangshu" said: When spring comes, everything comes out. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, when everything was budding, a spring outing in the wild became a ritual.

According to the Book of Rites, on the day of beginning of spring, the son of heaven personally coached three princes, nine ministers, governors, doctors and even the eastern suburbs to welcome the Spring. In the pre-Qin period, the State of Qi had the custom of releasing spring in March and watching spring. Lu and Chu also have the habit of spring outing. The Spring Festival custom of farming sacrifice has a far-reaching influence on later generations.
