At a kindergarten in Xingtai, North China’s Hebei province, a girl tries to stand an egg upright to mark spring equinox(\u6625\u5206), the fourth solar term(\u8282\u6c14) of the year, which starts March 21 this year. The egg-standing game is an old(\u53e4\u8001\u7684) custom(\u98ce\u4fd7) that can be dated back to 4,000 years ago. People practice this tradition(\u4f20\u7edf) to celebrate(\u5e86\u795d) the coming(\u5230\u6765) of spring. It is believed(\u8ba4\u4e3a) that if someone can make the egg stand(\u76f4\u7acb), the person will have good luck(\u597d\u8fd0) in the future.
