Did the ancients send flowers to the gods or greet them in the solar terms? What are the most common things to do in the solar terms of mango?

In ancient times, people presented flowers to the gods during the solar terms. To many ancient people, everything is spiritual. Every time it comes to the solar term, the flowering period will gradually pass, so in the eyes of the ancients, it will be considered that the flower god abdicated, so people will send flowers to the gods during the solar term. Ancient people will also hold many practice ceremonies for the flower god, and look forward to the arrival of the flower god next spring. And there are many customs and activities during the solar term. ?

First of all, when the solar term comes, people will graft different fruit trees. The main purpose is to make the fruit produced by fruit trees make up for each other in quality and yield. Some even cut several holes in the fruit tree directly with a knife, mainly to make the fruit tree absorb the outside air better, thus increasing the yield and quality of the fruit tree.

Secondly, people in some areas will play with mud during the solar term. For example, in the southeast of Guizhou, some young men and women hold a special mud bucket festival every year when they come to mangshi. On this day, if you are newlyweds, it is best to be accompanied by young men and women. They will collectively transplant rice seedlings in the fields and throw mud at each other while transplanting rice seedlings. When this activity is over, they will check who has the most mud and who is the most popular person.

Third, people will also dry shrimps when they grow awns, especially fishermen in coastal areas. Every awns solar term, people will dry shrimp outside the house. Because at the time of the awning, the shrimp is in the spawning period. At this time, the meat quality of shrimp is very thick and its nutritional value will be higher, so the shrimp skin that people sun in the awning season is also called mango skin. Fourthly, in some areas of Nanjing, there is also the custom of cooking green plums. People in these areas will soak some green plum wine in the solar terms of mango.
