Playing in spring is the beginning of a new year, and gourd is the homonym of Fulu. People put up gourds at the beginning of the new year, hoping that in the new year, blessings and wealth will come.

People are used to calling "beginning of spring" in the 24 solar terms "Da Chun". Why is there such a statement? So far, many people don't understand. Although I don't understand it, I still don't violate those customs in the past. On the first day of spring, they must cut out many gourd-shaped things with red paper and stick them on the front of the house and the screen. There used to be chicken nests, barns, wells and so on. In the farmyard, all things should be labeled with gourds cut with red paper.
