相传很久以前，人间并没有牛，犁田耕地都是用人力，非常辛苦。有一天，玉皇大帝微服来到人间，看到农民光着身子，满身大汗拉着犁在耕种。玉皇大帝便走上前对那些犁田的人说：“老伯，你们休息休息呀！”人们说：“眼看播种季节要过了，我们怎能休息呢？” 玉皇大帝听了，再也不答话，便默默走了。
牛无动于衷，春社日大清早依然如故。人们比牛起得早就有了力气，能让牛听话。不听话的牛，就被人用绳子拴住牛鼻子或用鞭子抽打。牛才后悔不听金牛星的劝告，只好服服帖帖听指挥。
人们看到牛听话了，就马上煎鸡蛋煮糍吃饱犁田了。为什么以煎煮鸡鸭蛋为主，是因为在此期间正好是雌鸡雌鸭催情下蛋的季节。这天要教新牛学会拉犁，据说这天牛是最驯服的，很容易教会它们拖犁拖耙。
从此，每年的春社日，人们就要吃好饭好菜准备春耕，后来就成了“春社节”。
