Is it very bad if the Grain Full solar term falls on the Jiazi day or the Gengchen day?

In folk culture, it is taboo for the Grain Full Day to be the Jiazi Day or the Gengchen Day. People believe that if Grain Full falls on Jiazi or Gengchen, there will be a locust plague during the autumn harvest, resulting in a poor harvest.
Therefore, the old almanac also recorded: "On the day of Xiaoman Jiazi and Gengchen, bees and insects will definitely damage crops and rice."
During the Grain Full solar term, the temperature rises, the rainfall increases, and the humidity becomes heavier. Traditional Chinese medicine calls this "evil dampness", which can easily harm the human body. Moreover, at this time, the human body has consumed more energy and physical strength due to summer work, and is in particular need of nutritional supplements.
During this season, we should pay attention to strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi in our diet and eat more spleen-strengthening foods. We should also pay attention to removing dampness and phlegm, regulating qi and clearing the lungs. The weather is hot now, so do not consume too much cold drinks to avoid causing acute intestinal diseases.

What is Xiaoman going to do?

What to do in Xiaoman: Offering sacrifices to the Silkworm God
According to legend, Xiaoman is the birthday of the silkworm god, and during the farming period, people regarded silkworms as gifts from heaven. In order to pray for forgiveness from heaven and a good harvest from silkworm breeding, the Silkworm Prayer Festival is held in April every year when the silkworms are released. Therefore, there is no fixed date for the Silkworm Festival. It is held on the day when each family releases silkworms before or after the Grain Full Moon. Silkworm farmers would go to the "Silkworm Goddess Temple" and "Cicada God Temple" to offer fruits, fine wine, and sumptuous dishes and kneel down to worship. In particular, they would place "noodle cocoons" made of flour on a mountain of straw to pray for a good harvest of silkworm cocoons.
What to do in Xiaoman: busy harvesting
In the provinces along the Yellow River, people are busy harvesting and threshing wheat in April of the lunar calendar. Autumn rice is being sown in the Pearl River Basin, while in the Northeast it is the time to plant cotton, wheat and soybeans. Sorghum has just grown, and it is necessary to weed and cut off the poor seedlings. The Grain Full solar term is the busy farming season.
What Xiaoman does: Sell new silk
When the silk is woven into threads during the Grain Full season, each family carries the threads back to the city and sells them to merchants who collect the silk. In Wu, the silk market usually starts in the fourth month of the lunar calendar every year and ends in the evening, which is called selling new silk. This is the case in most places in Jiangnan. What to do in Xiaoman: Worship the God of Vehicles
Grain Full Festival falls in early summer, which is also the busiest season for farmers. In the old days, waterwheels for irrigation and water drainage were important events in rural areas, so during the Grain Full solar term, many places held folk activities to worship the waterwheel god. As the saying goes, "Three wheels move during Grain Full", which refers to the silk wheel, oil wheel and field wheel. Legend has it that the "God of Carts" is a white dragon. During the Grain Full period, farmers place fish, meat, incense and candles in front of the water-carrying wheels as offerings. The special thing is that there is a cup of white water among the offerings, which is poured into the fields during the sacrifice, with the intention of wishing for a prosperous water source.
What to do in Xiaoman: Grab water
"Grabbing water" is an old folk farming custom that is popular in Haining, Zhejiang. When this ceremony is held, the elderly deacon will gather all the households together, and at dawn on the determined date, they will light torches and eat wheat cakes, wheat bread and wheat balls on the base of the waterwheel. When the deacon uses drums and gongs as a signal, the crowd will respond with percussion instruments and step onto the waterwheels that have been installed in advance on the Xiaohan River. Dozens of waterwheels will move together to divert river water to irrigate the fields until the river dries up.
What to do in Xiaoman: Go around the three spirits
"Rao Sanling" is popular in Dali, Yunnan and other places. It is held around the Grain Full solar term from April 23rd to 25th of the lunar calendar every year and is known as the carnival of the Bai people. Just as Duan Wei in the Qing Dynasty wrote in "Rao Sanling. Bamboo Branch Poems": "The gold coin drums and the Overlord Whip, two people pushing and banging their arms and turning. The best is the young girl singing in plain tunes, each of her voices reaching the sky of love." The festival lasts for three days, with different activities each day. It is a grand gathering of singing and dancing for the Bai people before the busy farming season, and also a prayer ceremony to pray for a good harvest.
