History of spring ploughing:
In ancient times, China was founded on agriculture, which paid attention to seasonal integrity. Spring ploughing, summer harvest, autumn harvest and winter storage were all based on seasons.
The general public can only judge the change of seasons by the change of phenology, while wizards with astronomical knowledge can determine it by observing astronomical phenomena. Observing images in ancient times is usually called "fainting" when it is just dark, the observed star is called "fire", and the western astronomical term is Scorpio.
The ancient "Great Fire" star just happened to be in the vernal equinox. On this day, the fire observed that Mars was in the middle of the south, so it announced to the people that the vernal equinox had arrived and it was time to sow in spring. The ancestors of Chu people used to be the ancient fire king, which is the origin of the name of Shenrong and the first duty of Huozheng.
