Does Dachun mean the beginning of spring?

Dachun is an old custom. On the day before the beginning of spring, people made a spring ox out of mud and placed it at the doorstep. When the beginning of spring came the next day, they would whip the ox with red and green whips. Therefore, the beginning of spring is commonly known as Dachun.
The book "Kyoto Customs" once recorded: in front of the palace, "a Mang God is set up in the east and a Spring Ox is set up in the west." After the ceremony, "the servants beat and burned it, so it was called 'beating the spring'." At that time, smashing the Spring Ox had the meaning of "urging the ox to plow the fields" by whipping the old ox. People rushed to take the pieces of the Spring Ox home and regarded them as a symbol of good luck.
The Mang God mentioned here is the God of Spring, who dominates the farming affairs of the year. This is recorded in "The Book of Rites" and "Zuo Zhuan". On the day of the beginning of spring, paintings of spring oxen are usually sold in temple fairs in old Beijing. The man leading the ox in the front is the Mang God. Most families, even if they have already entered the city, will bring the Spring Ox picture home. The meaning of this picture is the same as the fragments of the Spring Ox they bring home. They pray to themselves, and the God of Spring and the Spring Ox are both blessings for a year's harvest.
