What is the meaning of the Spring Festival custom of biting spring?

On the day of the Beginning of Spring, Chinese people believe in buying a radish to eat, which is called "Biting Spring". Because radish tastes spicy, it is taken from the ancient saying "If you can bite the grass roots off, you can do anything."
Old Beijingers pay attention to seasonal food. On the day of the Beginning of Spring, they eat spring pancakes. Eating spring pancakes means biting into spring. It is also called eating spring plates. From early in the morning on this day, there are people carrying loads on their shoulders and shouting in the alleys: Radishes are better than pears.
At that time, no matter how poor the family was, they would buy a radish for their children to chew on during the spring.
The custom of eating spring pancakes at the beginning of spring is called "Biting Spring". This custom originated in the Tang Dynasty. As the Spring Equinox comes, all things revive and all kinds of vegetables sprout. People want to taste the fresh vegetables, so they wrap colorful seasonal vegetables in dough, roll them up and steam or fry them. They name them spring pancakes, which symbolize a good harvest. They give them to each other to express their joy in welcoming the spring and praying for a good harvest.
Eating according to the seasons is a communication between the heart and nature. Eating food that suits the seasons means putting the entire four seasons into your mouth. The old Beijingers are very particular about eating spring rolls. They must be rolled into a tube and eaten from beginning to end, which means "having a beginning and an end".

What do the three signs of the Beginning of Spring mean?

According to Chinese tradition, the fifteen days of the Beginning of Spring are divided into three phases: "The first phase is when the east wind thaws the ice; the second phase is when stinging insects begin to move; the third phase is when fish swim up carrying ice."
This means that on the fifth day of the beginning of spring, the east wind brings warmth and the earth begins to thaw;
After five days, the hibernating insects slowly woke up in the cave;
Five days later, the ice in the river began to melt and the fish started to swim to the surface of the water. At this time, there were still some pieces of ice that had not completely melted on the water surface, floating on the water as if they were being carried by the fish.
