Su Meng wakes up everything, and farmers seek agriculture at the beginning. " (Heshui Zuo). In climatology, spring refers to the period when the average temperature is between 10℃ and 22℃. On this day in beginning of spring, "the sun and thorns are in harmony, and everything is spring". After beginning of spring, everything is full of vitality, and all the seasons have begun. There is an old legend that when spring comes, county officials will dig a hole in the land with local celebrities and then put feathers, chicken feathers and other light materials in the hole. At a certain time, the feathers and chicken feathers in the hole will float up from the hole. This moment is the beginning of spring, and people will set off firecrackers to celebrate, wishing the good weather and good harvest in the coming year.
