Ju Mang is the god of spring, that is, the god of plants and life. Ju Mang's image is a bird with human face and rules. On this day in beginning of spring, folk customs mainly focus on spring affairs. During the Zhou Dynasty, the East Hall was set up to welcome the Spring Festival, which shows that there is a long history of offering sacrifices to Ju Mang.
The day before beginning of spring, Zhejiang Province had a Spring Festival. Beginning of spring carried Ju Mang to the mountain outside the city the day before, and at the same time offered sacrifices to Tai Sui. Tai sui is an old god, who sits for one year and is in charge of the rest of the year, so the people also offer more sacrifices. There are many activities when welcoming God, such as preaching in large classes, raising pavilions, local operas, yangko and shooting cows. After being carried from the countryside to the city, people gather in the streets to compete for food, which is called watching the Spring Festival. During the Spring Festival in Ju Mang, Shandong Province, according to Ju Mang's clothing, the climate of that year was predicted: wearing a hat represents warm spring, balding represents cold spring, wearing shoes represents more spring rain, and barefoot represents less spring rain. In other areas, New Year pictures such as "Spring Breeze" are posted. Around Guangzhou and beginning of spring, people used drums to drive away the plague and pray for peace.

It was popular in the Tang and Song Dynasties, especially after Song Renzong promulgated the Cattle Slaughtering Classic, and the custom of whipping and slaughtering cattle became more widespread and became an important part of folk culture. The significance of whipping spring cattle is not limited to sending air conditioning and promoting spring ploughing, but also has certain witchcraft significance. Shandong folks want to break the local cattle, and people compete for the spring cattle, which is called grabbing the spring and taking the cow's head as the luck. In addition, there are tea-picking activities to worship spring cattle and turtle activities to announce the arrival of spring in Hubei. In addition to the pictures of spring cattle on the royal calendar, they are also widely engraved in New Year pictures all over the country as auspicious pictures during the Spring Festival.
