What are the customs and taboos of Lesser Heat?1. Tianfu Festival According to historical records, the Tianfu Festival is on the sixth day of June around the beginning of the Lesser Heat. “Feng” means “gift”, which means the festival given by heaven. This is because the emperors of the Song Dynasty gave "ice noodles" and "fried noodles" to their subjects during the dog days of summer, so it was called Tianfu Festival.2. Worship the God of Grains It is said that some places have the custom of worshipping the God of Grains, and the purpose is the same as worshipping the heaven and the earth. This reflects our ancestors' fine tradition of gratitude: a good harvest is certainly the result of their own hard work, but it is also made possible by the favorable weather conditions of nature and the blessings of their ancestors. 3. Drying books, paintings and clothes. On the day of Lesser Heat, temples will dry scriptures and religious instruments, while ordinary people will dry books and clothes and so on. There is a folk saying that goes, "On June 6th, people dry their clothes and dragons dry their robes" and "On June 6th, every family dry red and green." "Red and green" refers to all kinds of colorful clothes. 4. Tasting New Food during Lesser Heat On the day of Lesser Heat, people will taste the latest harvest of grains and hold a series of important sacrificial ceremonies to express their gratitude to nature and their ancestors. It is said that "eating new food" means "eating spicy food", and it is the first spicy day after the Lesser Heat Festival. Therefore, there is a saying among the people that millet should be eaten during the Lesser Heat and grain should be eaten during the Greater Heat. 5. Improve the diet of cattle. In Shandong area, there is a custom of cooking wheat kernel soup for cattle on the dog days. It is said that cattle will be strong, able to work and not sweat after drinking it. Folk song: Spring ox whip, licking bull, wheat kernel soup, licking cow rice, licking cow and drinking it without sweating, and it will happen again in June. As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing that can be controlled is his or her "luck."
