1, the folklore or story of solar terms mango: Three Rites and Righteousness The third article of A Midsummer Moon by Cui Lingsi, Liang of the Southern Dynasties says: "Mango in May is a festival, and when it is said, a whole valley of mango can be planted, so in the name of mango, there will be a meeting to worship the flower god." It is also called "Mango May Festival" because it is close to May of the lunar calendar. The fifty-second chapter of Jin Ping Mei: "Wu Yueniang made a golden lotus:' Look at the calendar, when is Renzi Day?' The golden lotus looked at it and said,' The 23rd is Renzi Day, which is the day when the mango seeds are planted in May.' "

The 27th chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions vividly describes the farewell ceremony of the flower god, which is full of folk colors. "The next day is April 26th. It turns out that this day is not the end of the ear festival. Ancient custom: On the day of transplanting rice, all kinds of gifts should be arranged to worship the flower god. It is said that once the planting of flowers is over, it will be summer, all the flowers will be unloaded, and the flower god will abdicate and have to say goodbye.

Legend has it that there lived a family in a village at the foot of Taihang Mountain. Mother and son live together. My son is called Mangzhong, and he is unmarried at the age of 20. When my mother is old, she can't do housework gradually, so she takes on all the housework alone when she is busy. There was a buckwheat girl who was moved by the filial piety of Miscanthus. She often made excuses to contact Mangcao, and after a long time, love came into being. When they got married, life was bitter, but they were also happy.

There was a drought for one year. In order to spend the winter, Mangzhong can only take his foal to the market town to sell it in exchange for food for the winter. I sold the pony to a boss named Northeast Wind, who came from Lingbing Palace and lived in Ding Cun, Hua Mu. His real name is Lu Han. However, Lu Han fell in love with Buckwheat Girl and coerced Mangzhong to betroth his wife to him. Lu Han's family has a hundred hectares of land and a lot of money, and lives a luxurious life. He relied on his brother Bailu to be an official in Beijing, so he ran amok and robbed women at will. But buckwheat girl is determined not to follow.

When Lu Han came to rob her relatives, the buckwheat girl ran away alone. This morning, the mountains were covered with fog, and Miss Buckwheat was nowhere to be seen. Lu Han was impatient and furious. He flew into a rage and urged the horse forward. After a while, the horse fell into the pond and Lu Han drowned. The next day, the body of buckwheat girl was found under the garlic cliff. Although she jumped off the cliff and died, she didn't have any scars. She closed her eyes, with a slight smile on her face, and her face was still so delicate and beautiful, holding a suicide note in her hand: "Sui Zhu is a happy couple, loving and happy, living together, hateful and overbearing, forcing the couple to leave." Meet again in the afterlife, silver flowers bloom like snow? "After reading the suicide note, the mother and son burst into tears and cried for three days and three nights until the mountain spring sobbed and the stars closed their eyes. Mangzhong dressed his wife and girl in a coat and a purple-green skirt, tied pink flowers on her bun, and buried her under this ridge in Xiangyang Valley to build a high grave.

6. On the dog days of the following summer, suddenly a group of dolls shouted happily, "Buckwheat Girl is back! Mustard girl is back! " I hurried to the grave when I was busy, alas! Beautiful, green Ye Er, purple roots, pink flowers, gentle and elegant branches, a few days later, complete and solid triangular seeds. Mango seeds are happily collected. It will rain later next year and can be planted everywhere. Qiu Lai has had a bumper harvest! The cold dew festival came, and a cold wind blew. The children sang happily: "Oh, hey, the cold dew wind is so cool, so overbearing, so bastard, stop blowing!" Buckwheat harvest! Morning show! "
