'Lichun': the beginning of spring

Custom of "beat the spring cattle"

Apart from "bite the spring" in some rural parts, "beat the spring cattle" is also a folk tradition for farmers. A "cow" made of paper, mud or clay, is beaten by farmers with a colorful club or a whip, dispelling winter laziness of the cattle and praying for the good harvest.
