Folk Activities during the End of Heat Solar Term

1. Ancestor worship and autumn greeting: Around the beginning of summer, there will be folk activities to celebrate the Zhongyuan Festival, commonly known as "the 15th day of the seventh month" or "Zhongyuan Festival". Today, it has become an important period for ancestor worship. Furthermore, after the Beginning of Autumn, autumn becomes more intense, which is a good time for people to travel to the countryside to welcome the autumn and enjoy the scenery. For example, there is a saying among the people "Watch the clever clouds in July and August", which means "go out to welcome the autumn". 2. Fishing Festival: After the Beginning of Autumn comes the fishery harvest period. Coastal areas often hold various forms of sea worship and blessing activities during this solar term to send off fishermen and look forward to a good harvest. 3. Worshiping the God of Land: The Chushu solar term coincides with the harvest time for crops, and farmers hold various ceremonies to thank the God of Land. Some people kill animals and offer sacrifices to the land temple, some put flags in the middle of the field to express their gratitude, and some do not wash their feet when they return home from working in the fields on that day, for fear of washing away the good harvest. 4. Release river lanterns: "The 15th of July is the Ghost Festival. The dead souls and resentful ghosts cannot be reborn, and are lingering in hell, suffering a lot. They want to be reborn, but can't find the way. If a dead ghost holds a river lantern on this day, he will be reborn."
