Erecting the egg

立鸡蛋

In China, it is said that the egg can be set upright on the first day of the Start of Spring, Spring Equinox day and Autumn Equinox day. It is believed that if someone can make the egg stand on the first day of Start of Spring, he will have good luck in the future .

在中国，据说在立春、春分和秋分第一天可以把鸡蛋竖立起来。据说如果有人能在立春第一天把鸡蛋竖着立起来，那他将来就会有好运气。

据科学家说，竖鸡蛋和时间没有关系，只与力学有关。关键是把鸡蛋的重心移到最低点，握住鸡蛋，尽量让蛋黄下沉。还要挑选已经下了四五天，蛋黄容易下沉的鸡蛋。

佩燕子

Wearing fabric swallows is a custom in some regions in Shaanxi. Every Start of Spring, people like to wear a swallow made of colorful silk on their chests. The custom originated during the Tang Dynasty (618-907). The swallow is a harbinger of spring and a symbol of prosperity and happiness.　

胸前佩戴一只织成的燕子是陕西一些地区的习俗。每当立春，人们喜欢在胸前佩戴一只用五彩丝织成的燕子。这个习俗起源于唐代(618-907)。燕子是一种报春鸟，是繁荣和幸福的象征。

Biting the spring

咬春

In many parts of China, people observe the custom of "biting the spring" on the first day of Start of Spring. They eat spring pancakes, spring rolls, or a few mouthfuls of carrots.

在中国许多地方，人们都遵守着立春第一天要“咬春”的习俗。人们会吃春饼和春卷，或者干脆咬几口萝卜。

Making a Spring Ox

糊春牛

This custom in Shaanxi is practiced right before the Start of Spring. The local government hires some skilled artisans and gathers them to build the frame of an ox out of bamboo strips and the legs with wood. Then they paste some paper and paint onto it—and, voila! The image of an ox is complete. It is said that if more red and yellow paper is used, then there will be a good harvest that year; if black paper is pasted, then the year will be poor. When the paper ox is ready, there is a ritual to paint the eyes. After that, people will set up an altar for it and worship it.

陕西的习俗是要在立春之前就开始做春牛。当地政府会雇佣一些熟练的工匠，召集他们用竹条做出牛的骨架、用木头做成牛的腿。然后他们就会糊上纸、刷上颜色。瞧，一头“牛”就这样做好了!据说如果多用红色和黄色的纸，那年就会有个好收成;如果糊上了黑色的纸，那年的收成就会不好。当纸牛做好了之后，会有一个“做牛点睛”的仪式。在那之后，人们会给它修个祭坛，敬拜它。

Appreciating plum blossoms

赏梅

Plums blossom from the 12th lunar month to the second month of the next year. The plum blossom, as it fights against the cold, is the most highly regarded. In China, the plum blossom, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum are praised as the four gentlemen of Chinese flowers.

梅花会从农历腊月一直开到第二年二月。梅花因为能够抵抗严寒，所以在中国最受重视。在中国，梅、兰、竹、菊被誉为花中四君子。

Welcoming spring

拜春

三千年前，中国人就开始举行迎春仪式了。人们拜祭主宰农业的春神“句芒”（拼音为gou mang）。清朝时，“拜春”成为重要的民间活动。明清时京兆尹和各府衙官员，都必须去“东郊”的东直门外五里的“春场”去迎春。

立春古诗词

江南春

Spring on the Southern Rivershore

杜牧

By Du Mu

千里莺啼绿映红，

Orioles sing for miles amid red blooms and green trees;

水村山郭酒旗风。

By hills and rills wine shop streamers wave in the breeze.

南朝四百八十寺，

Four hundred eighty splendid temples still remain;

多少楼台烟雨中。

Of Southern Dynasties in the mist and rain.

玉楼春

Spring in Jade Pavilion

宋祁

By Song Qi

东城渐觉风光好，

The Scenery is getting fine east of the town;

縠皱波纹迎客棹。

The rippling water greets boats rowing up and down.

绿杨烟外晓寒轻，

Beyond green willows morning chill is growing mild;

红杏枝头春意闹。

On pink apricot branches spring is running wild.

浮生长恨欢娱少，

In our floating life scarce are pleasures we seek after.

肯爱千金轻一笑。

How can we value gold above a hearty laughter?

为君持酒劝斜阳，

I raise wine cup to ask the slanting sun to stay

且向花间留晚照。

And leave among the flowers its departing ray.
