"Spring vegetable" is a kind of wild amaranth, which the locals call "Spring Green Artemisia". On the day of the Spring Equinox, the whole village goes to pick spring vegetables. When searching in the fields, most of the plants you see are light green, thin, about the length of a palm. The harvested spring vegetables are usually boiled with fish fillets in a soup called "spring soup". There is a saying: "Spring soup cleanses the internal organs and washes the liver and intestines. The whole family, young and old, will be safe and healthy." Gradually, this has become a custom. Since spring, people still pray for peace at home and good health.On the vernal equinox every year, thousands of people around the world will do the "egg standing" experiment. It is still difficult to verify how this game, which is called a "Chinese custom", became a "world game". However, the gameplay is simple, easy and interesting: choose a smooth and symmetrical fresh egg that has been laid just four or five days ago, and gently stand it upright on the table. Although there are many failures, there are also many successes. The Spring Equinox becomes the best time to play the egg-standing game, hence the saying "When the Spring Equinox comes, the eggs are pretty." The upright egg looks beautiful. Spring Festival: On the Spring Equinox in February, people start sweeping tombs and worshipping ancestors, which is also called the Spring Festival. Before tomb sweeping, a grand ceremony of ancestor worship is held in the ancestral hall, with pigs and sheep being slaughtered, drummers playing music, ritual students reading sacrificial texts, and leading the three offerings ceremony. When tomb sweeping begins on the Spring Equinox, the first things people do are to sweep and offer sacrifices to the tombs of the founding ancestors and distant ancestors. The entire clan and the entire village are mobilized, and the procession is large, with often hundreds or even thousands of people. After sweeping the tombs of the founding ancestor and distant ancestors, each room will then sweep and offer sacrifices to the tombs of their ancestors, and finally each family will sweep and offer sacrifices to the family's private tomb. In most Hakka areas, spring ancestor worship and tomb sweeping begin at the Spring Equinox or earlier and are completed by Qingming Festival at the latest. There is a saying in various places that the tomb doors will be closed after Qingming Festival and the heroic spirits of the ancestors will no longer be able to benefit from it. In the Jiangnan region, the custom of rewarding working oxen and offering sacrifices to birds is popular. The Spring Equinox has arrived, and the oxen have begun their year-long work. Glutinous rice balls are fed to the oxen as a reward; birds are sacrificed to thank them for reminding them of the farming season and to hope that the birds will not eat the crops, praying for a good harvest.
