Grain in Ear is approaching May, when all flowers begin to wither and fall. People often hold ceremonies to worship the flower god on this day to send him off and express their gratitude to him, hoping to meet him again next year. This custom no longer exists, but we can get a glimpse of it in the 27th chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions" by the famous novelist Cao Xueqin: "(In the Grand View Garden) the girls either weaved petals and willow branches into sedan chairs and horses, or folded silk and brocade into thousands of flags and banners, all tied with colorful threads. These things were tied to every tree and every flower. The whole garden was filled with fluttering embroidered ribbons and glamorous flowers. Moreover, these people were dressed so beautifully that peaches shamed apricots, swallows were jealous and orioles were ashamed. It is hard to describe them all...." The "thousand of flags and banners" means shield; "mao", "jing" and "banner" were all ancient flags. From this we can see the lively scene of wealthy families bidding farewell to the flower god during the Grain in Ear Festival.

Every Grain in Ear season, after planting rice, various places hold seedling-protecting sacrificial activities to pray for a good harvest in autumn. Every household uses new wheat flour to make steamed buns, which they shape into shapes of grains, livestock, fruits and vegetables, and then dye with vegetable juice. They use them as sacrificial offerings to pray for a good harvest and the safety of the villagers. Grain in Ear Customs: Boiling Plums In the south, May and June every year are the season when plums ripen. During the Three Kingdoms period, there was an allusion of "discussing heroes over green plum wine". Green plum contains a variety of natural high-quality organic acids and rich minerals. It has unique nutritional and health functions such as purifying blood, regulating the intestines, lowering blood lipids, eliminating fatigue, beautifying, regulating acid-base balance, and enhancing human immunity. However, most fresh plums taste sour and astringent, making them difficult to eat directly. They need to be processed before they can be eaten, and this processing process is called boiled plums.
