Driving the Spring Ox: One day before beating the ox, the clay ox is first placed in the eastern suburbs, which is called "standing ox". Next to it is a dummy carrying farm tools and whipping the ox, representing the farmer. Farmers then bow to the dummy and beat drums.

God Ju Mang and scatter beans to ward off disasters: The cow-beating ceremony is held by the county government. "Before the beginning of spring, officials welcome God Ju Mang in the eastern suburbs and the market. Each person acts out a story to celebrate the harvest. Men and women bring their children to see the earthen ox that will usher in spring. Each person scatters beans and hemp on it, which is called scattering smallpox and eliminating diagnoses. On the beginning of spring, God Ju Mang (the traditional earth god in charge of farming is also called the god of spring) is worshipped. After beating the earthen ox..." 3. Spring outing (exploring spring, parade): After the county activities, the people are not to be outdone. They dress up and start parading. The team starts with the herald of spring dressed as a rooster walking in the front, followed by a group of people carrying a huge image of the spring ox, and then the people behind them include shepherd boys leading the cows, big-headed dolls delivering spring peaches, and swallows. Another meaning is: after this spring outing it is a signal to start going outings, and the period until the Dragon Boat Festival is a good time for spring outings (spring outing on the day of the Beginning of Spring is called Tanchun). 4. Sending the Spring Ox Post and the Beginning of Spring Post to herald the coming of spring: According to the old custom, on the day before the Beginning of Spring, two artists wearing crowns and belts, called Spring Officials, would appear. Shouting along the streets: "Spring is here", commonly known as "heralding spring". Regardless of whether one is a scholar, farmer, worker or businessman, one must bow and greet the Spring Official when meeting him. A person stands in the fields beating gongs and drums (find a little boy wearing green clothes and a green hat), singing praises to welcome spring, and going to every house to announce the arrival of spring. Each household will deliver a picture of a spring ox or a greeting card (or the farmers will beat gongs and drums to invite their children home to welcome spring, and the people will put fruit plates on the table to wait for the arrival of spring). This picture of the spring ox printed on red paper features the twenty-four solar terms of the year and people leading oxen to plow the fields. People call it a "Spring Post". This picture of sending off the Spring Ox is intended to urge and remind people to seize the time to farm and not miss the spring. 5. Spring victory is pasted on doors and windows: Women cut spring swallow bird and flower hairpins (or buy specially made spring swallow bird and flower hairpins) and use red paper to cut chickens and paste them on the doors. 6. Posting calligraphy and paintings about spring: Every family posts calligraphy and paintings about welcoming spring on their doors, including paintings related to spring, such as wintersweet welcoming spring. |
