What are the customs of the Grain in Ear solar term?

1. Send off the Flower God and welcome the Flower God on the Flower Festival on the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar. 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.
Some hang colorful silk ribbons on the branches, while others stick the fallen petals back on the tree, meaning that the flower will never wither. 2. An Miao An Miao is an agricultural custom activity 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.
3. Mud Fighting Young men and women of the Dong ethnic group in the southeastern part of Guizhou hold a mud fighting festival around the Grain in Ear Festival every year.
On that day, the newlyweds, accompanied by their good friends, young men and women, planted rice together, played around and threw mud at each other. At the end of the activity, the results are checked and the person with the most mud on his body is the most popular.
4. Drying shrimp skins At this time, fishermen along the coast are busy drying shrimps. Because it is the Grain in Ear season, hair shrimps are in the spawning period, their bodies are fat, their meat is firm, and their nutritional value is better. People call the dried shrimp skin during the Grain in Ear period "Mangzhong skin".
There are two types of dried shrimps: raw dried shrimps and cooked dried shrimps. Raw sun-dried dried shrimp refers to the finished product that has been sun-dried. It is fresher and less likely to get damp or moldy. Cooked sun-dried dried shrimp is boiled with salt, drained and dried. Although it retains its freshness, its taste is slightly inferior to that of raw sun-dried dried shrimp.
5. Boiling plums There is a custom of "boiling green plums" in Nanjing. People in Lishui District are still accustomed to making green plum wine during the Grain in Ear solar term. In the south, May and June every year are the season when plums ripen. After the plums are picked, they are placed at home to dry. On the Grain in Ear day, the washed plums are soaked in white wine. The white wine is usually 55 degrees, with 10 kilograms of white wine, 3 kilograms of plums and 2 kilograms of rock sugar as the ratio. The green plum wine soaking process takes one month. This folk custom is closely related to the allusion "Discussing Heroes over Green Plum Wine" from the Three Kingdoms period.
6. Grafting trees When the Grain in Ear solar term arrives, fruit farmers will graft different fruit trees so that the fruits they produce can complement each other in shape and quality. Some people simply use a knife to make a few cuts on the fruit trees to allow them to absorb outside air and increase fruit yields. 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."
