"The ancients said, in the month of early spring, the great virtue is in wood, one should use wood to worship the door."
"It is also said, spring, the yang energy emerges, worship it at the door, it is the inner yang."
"Early spring is the first month of spring, and also the first month of the year, that is, the first lunar month. In this season, all things begin to sprout, and various life forms that have been hibernating through winter start to stir, with trees being the most prominent, hence 'wood' is used for worshiping the door."
"The term 'worshiping the door' means to perform rites to the door, it is the foremost of the five rites, correspondingly there is also 'worshiping the gate', which is held in September to 'gather the concealment of heaven and earth'."
