Today marks Start of Spring. As the first of the 24 solar terms and the inaugural term of spring, it signals the reawakening of nature.
Customs vary across China: spring pancakes are popular in the north, while spring rolls are preferred in the south, a custom known as “biting the spring”. As the saying goes, “The whole year’s work depends on a good start in spring.” The Start of Spring sets the stage for plowing and sowing, planting the seeds of hope for the coming year.
