There is a saying that goes, "When the wheat is ripe, the farming season begins and beautiful girls leave their homes." Therefore, during this solar term, women also have to go to the fields to help with the "busy farming season." In Yanshan, Hebei, there is a custom of "marrying a tree" on this busy day.
