Summer Busy MeetingThe purpose of the summer busy meeting is for the people to communicate and purchase production tools, buy and sell livestock, collect grains, etc. The meeting usually lasts 3-5 days, and operas will be performed to add to the fun. 2. Worship the Three Gods There is a saying that Grain Full brings about the “movement of three vehicles (waterwheel, ox-cart and silk-cart)”. "Sacrificing to the Three Gods" means offering sacrifices to the gods in charge of the three vehicles during the Grain Full season, praying for the gods' blessings, good weather, and a good harvest. On the day of Grain Full, people will hold a sacrificial ceremony in front of the water cart. Everyone will prepare a cup of white water as a sacrifice, and then place fish, meat, incense and candles and other offerings on the base of the cart for worship. During the sacrifice, they will pour water into the fields, wishing that their water source will be prosperous. 3. Busy harvesting People often say that farm work is busy during Grain Full, because in the fourth month of the lunar calendar, people in the Yellow River basin are busy harvesting and threshing wheat. The Pearl River Basin is busy sowing autumn rice, and the Northeast is busy planting cotton, wheat and soybeans. It is the sorghum season again, and weeds need to be weeded and poor seedlings cut out. 4. Eat bitter vegetables It is said in the "Book of Zhou": On the day of Grain Full, bitter herbs bloom. The whole country enters summer during the Grain Full season, and people are prone to getting angry. Dandelions have the functions of clearing heat, cooling blood and detoxifying, so eating dandelions is good for the body!

Therefore, if the Grain Full Day coincides with the Jiazi and Gengchen days, it is a bad sign.►If Grain Full is not reached, the fields will dry up. This is a taboo in the southern region, where water is the main element. If there is not enough rain, the field ridges will dry up, which will have a great impact on the harvest. |
