origin

"Shiwu Jiyuan" records: "Duke Zhou was the first to make the earthen ox at the beginning of spring. The earthen ox was used to indicate the early and late farming days." Feudal rulers of later generations would hold the whip spring ceremony on this day to encourage farming and develop production. The Beginning of Spring as a solar term has existed as early as the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, there were eight solar terms in a year, namely the Beginning of Spring, the Beginning of Summer, the Beginning of Autumn, the Beginning of Winter, the Vernal Equinox, the Autumnal Equinox, the Summer Solstice and the Winter Solstice. It was not until the book "Book of Rites·Monthly Ordinances" and "Huainanzi·Astronomical Instructions" written by Liu An of the Western Han Dynasty that there were records of 24 solar terms.
