Some of them are also accompanied by text descriptions such as "As the Jade Emperor has ordered, in the middle of the third month of Grain Rain, snakes and scorpions will never be born again" and "In the middle of the third month of Grain Rain, the Lord Laojun descends from the sky, holding the Seven-Star Sword in his hand, and kills the scorpion demon alone." The Grain Rain stickers in Shandong are usually made of yellow paper with scorpion-banning talismans painted with cinnabar. They are then pasted on walls or scorpion holes, expressing people's hope for killing pests and a good harvest and peace.
2. Picking tea: There is a custom of picking tea on Grain Rain in the south. It is said that drinking tea on Grain Rain can clear internal heat, ward off evil spirits, and improve eyesight. So no matter what the weather is like on the day of Grain Rain, people will go to the tea mountains to pick some new tea to drink.
