What does the word "thank the earth" mean in the old calendar book?

1, thanks to the earth, as the name implies, also means to reward the land god. In the past, in rural areas, almost every household had a land god. Villagers are generally called "landlords" and "landlords". On holidays, the villagers should offer sacrifices, put on good dishes that they can't bear to eat, and offer the land gods first.

2. Earth is the first of the five elements. Everything on a piece of land is native. As long as it is not allowed to grow flowers and grain, whether building houses or building roads, it is destroying the land, not only destroying and disturbing the visible natural environment such as vegetation and animals, but also destroying many young creatures and breaking the harmony in this area. Therefore, the groundbreaking ceremony in advance is equivalent to applying for permission, while the thank-you ceremony afterwards is to apologize to all parties and thank the land god for his tolerance, which is a manifestation of people's desire for natural harmony.
