The fifth month of the lunar calendar in 2022 is a long month, so this month has thirty days. Shuimo.com has compiled the do’s and don’ts for each day of this month. Let’s take a look.Folk Customs of Grain in Ear Solar Term1. AnmiaoGrain in Ear An Miao Custom An Miao is an agricultural custom in southern Anhui, which began in the early Ming Dynasty. 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. 2. Mud fight Young Dong men and women in the southeastern part of Guizhou hold a mud fight festival around the Grain in Ear season every year. On that day, the newlyweds, accompanied by their good friends, young men and women, plant rice together, play around and throw mud at each other. When the end comes, they see who has the most mud on his body, and that person will be the most popular person of the year. 3. Boil 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. 4. Ploughing Festival Yunhe County, Zhejiang Province has a "Ploughing Festival", which is held on the Grain in Ear Festival, the 24th solar term in the lunar calendar. There is a legend circulating in the Yunhe and Meiyuan areas: the cow is the grass officer in heaven, who sympathized with the famine on earth and secretly planted grass seeds, but ended up causing weeds to grow wildly and save the livestock, but the farmlands were submerged by weeds and the farmers could not cultivate them. In order to punish the cow, heaven ordered it to come down to earth and plow the fields, and it has been doing so until today. What crops are ripe?1.
