》Sea worship: For fishermen, the custom of sea worship is popular on Grain Rain Festival. The Grain Rain season is when the spring water becomes warm and fish migrate to shallow waters, making it a good time to go fishing. As the saying goes, "Go to the surfing ground on the Grain Rain". In order to go out to sea safely and return with a full load, fishermen hold a sea sacrifice on the day of Grain Rain and pray for the blessing of the sea god. Therefore, Grain Rain Festival is also called the "Bringing Festival" for fishermen to go out to sea to fish.
》Walking on Grain Rain: In ancient times, there was a custom of "walking on Grain Rain". On Grain Rain, young women would visit relatives in the villages, or walk around in the fields outdoors and then come back.
》Forbidden to kill the five poisonous creatures: The five poisonous creatures refer to centipedes, venomous snakes, scorpions, geckos and toads. These five poisonous animals are collectively called the Five Poisons. They are the five most poisonous creatures that have been popular among the ancient Chinese people to this day, and they can all be used as medicine and food. After Grain Rain, the temperature rises and pests and diseases enter a high-multiplication period. In order to reduce the damage caused by pests and diseases to crops and people, farmers go into the fields to kill insects while posting "scorpion ban spells" and praying to drive away evil and bring good luck.
》Drinking Grain Rain Tea: Drinking tea picked on the Grain Rain day has good effects on clearing internal heat, warding off evil spirits, and improving eyesight; there is also a folk legend: tea picked on the Grain Rain day can bring the dead back to life. Therefore, no matter what the weather is like on the day of Grain Rain, people will go to the tea mountains to pick some new tea to drink.
The above are just simple examples. In fact, every place has its own customs to celebrate this solar term.
