Bian Chun Niu, also known as Whin Chun Niu, originated earlier. "Zhou Li·Yue Ling" records: "The unearthed cow was brought out to send cold air." It has been retained since then, but it was changed to spring. It was most prosperous in the Tang and Song dynasties, especially after Song Renzong promulgated the "Tu Niu Jing", the custom of whipping the ox was spread. It has become an important part of folk culture.

In the communication customs of the Han people, there is a saying of "wedding cattle and wealth", which is popular in Hunan. In the local area, a cow shared by several households is called a cow wealth relationship and is regarded as a relative. Once the ownership of the cow is changed to someone else, the "relative" relationship ends.
