Traditional customs of mans solar terms

The traditional customs of mango solar terms are: sending flowers to worship the gods, comforting seedlings, having mud fights, cooking plums and eating vegetables.

1, send flowers to God

On the second day of the second lunar month, the flower festival welcomes the flower god. It's nearly May, and the flowers are beginning to fade. People often hold a ceremony of offering sacrifices to the flower god on Ear Seed Day to send the flower god back to his place, and at the same time express gratitude to the flower god, hoping to meet again next year.

2. An Miao

Anmiao is a kind of farming folk activity in southern Anhui, which began in the early Ming Dynasty. Every season when rice seeds cover the sun, in order to pray for a good harvest in autumn, all localities should hold an Anmiao sacrifice. Every household steamed bags with new wheat flour, kneaded the flour into the shape of five grains, six animals, fruits and vegetables, and then dyed it with vegetable juice as a sacrifice, praying for the bumper harvest of five grains and the safety of the villagers.

Step 3 fight in mud

Young Dong men and women in southeastern Guizhou hold a mud festival every year before and after planting hemp. On the same day, the newlyweds, accompanied by good young men and women, collectively planted rice seedlings, played with each other while planting rice seedlings and threw mud at each other. After the activity, the results show that the person with the most mud is the most popular person.

Step 4 cook plums

In the south, May and June are the season when plums ripen, and there is an allusion of "Plum Boils Wine as a Hero" in the Three Kingdoms. However, most fresh plums are sour and difficult to eat directly, and they need to be processed before they can be eaten. This process is to boil plums.

5. Eat the delicious food of the military government

In Ningbo, there is also the custom of eating gentlemen's dishes in the awning season. Junta cuisine is a seasonal vegetable of mango around the solar term in southern China. The local people think that eating Clivia in summer won't cause prickly heat.
