Lichun is a folk festival,

In ancient times, on the day of the spring,

It is dedicated to the spring god who is in charge of agricultural affairs.

Before the spring, a clay statue of a spring cow was removed,

Women carrying children around the spring cow three times,

The old saying can not be sick;

Risshun Day,

The village elected an old man

Symbolically hit the spring cow three times with a whip,

It means to beat away the laziness of the spring cow,

A year of harvest.

Then the villagers beat the mud cows to pieces,

Divide the land and return,

Sprinkle on the respective farmland.
