A thousand years ago, during the Southern Song Dynasty, the Chinese people would enjoy the fresh and vibrant spring days by venturing outside with portable tea tables and refreshments.

They often used their Hanfu skirts to protect themselves from the sun. Amidst the beautiful scenery, they would play the Guqin or admire the blooming flowers while drinking tea.

Even today Chinese people still carry on the same traditions and practices in spring.
