What can’t you eat on the beginning of spring?

It is not advisable to eat sour food at the beginning of spring.
Dietary adjustments after the beginning of spring should take into account the initial birth of yang energy in spring. It is advisable to eat spicy and sweet foods that disperse the energy, and avoid sour and astringent foods.
In the relationship between the five internal organs and the five flavors, sour taste enters the liver and has a restraining nature, which is not conducive to the growth of Yang Qi and the release of liver Qi. Dietary conditioning should cater to the preferences of the internal organs, that is, "going against their nature will lead to bitterness, and following their nature will lead to desire.
Vegetables with sour properties include: tomatoes, tangerines, oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, apricots, papayas, loquats, hawthorns, olives, lemons, pomegranates, and black plums.
Purposefully choose some herbs and foods that can soften and nourish the liver, soothe the liver and regulate qi, such as herbs such as wolfberry, turmeric, salvia miltiorrhiza, and Corydalis yanhusuo, and choose spicy and warm foods such as jujube, fermented black beans, onions, coriander, peanuts, etc., and flexibly select the recipe.
It is not advisable to eat spicy food during the Beginning of Spring.
Eat less spicy hot pot, mutton, barbecue, and fried food: After the beginning of spring, eat less spicy food, fried food, and barbecue food.
Unlike winter, you should eat less spicy hot pot, mutton and dog meat after the beginning of spring, because these foods may deplete yang energy and cause getting a sore throat.

The 2020 Spring Festival is on January 25th, and the Beginning of Spring is on February 4th, so the Spring Festival is before the Beginning of Spring.

Why is the Spring Festival not on the beginning of spring?

The Beginning of Spring is the first of the traditional 24 solar terms. In ancient times, people celebrated the festival on the day of the Beginning of Spring, which is equivalent to the modern "Spring Festival", and the first day of the first lunar month was called "New Year's Day". Before 1912, China's Spring Festival was counted from the day of the Beginning of Spring.
In 1911, the Xinhai Revolution led by Sun Yat-sen established the Republic of China. After he moved "New Year's Day" to January 1 of the Gregorian calendar, he did not change the "Spring Festival" because the existence of the Spring Festival is very important for agricultural production and has symbolic significance. But two years later, the "Spring Festival" was also moved to the first day of the first lunar month.
On January 21, 1914, Zhu Qiqun, then Minister of the Interior, wrote a petition to Yuan Shikai, then President, titled "A Petition on Holidays for the Four Seasons": "It is proposed that the Lunar New Year's Day be the Spring Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival be the Summer Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival be the Autumn Festival, the Winter Solstice be the Winter Festival..." This "Petition on Holidays for the Four Seasons" was quickly approved by Yuan Shikai and was implemented the following year (1914). Because the "Spring Festival" was transplanted to the previous New Year's Day, the Spring Festival celebrations that had lasted for more than two thousand years gradually disappeared, and the Spring Festival turned into an ordinary solar term.
