What does it mean to put rice under the bed?

Putting rice under the bed is a metaphor to describe people's attitude of cherishing grain, a basic food. As a traditional staple food in China, rice has always been regarded as a valuable source of wealth and life. Putting rice under the bed is like cherishing and protecting them. This behavior shows that people respect life and cherish material wealth.

Rice is one of the important symbols of China culture. In ancient China, rice was not only the main material means of production, but also a symbolic wealth. Rice symbolizes harvest, wealth and happiness, so it is often used to express good wishes for life and work. In the traditional culture of China, rice is often endowed with beautiful meanings, such as "every grain is hard and every ear is full", which always reflects people's admiration for labor and harvest.

Rice is an important food crop for human beings and one of the guarantees of national food security. Nowadays, due to the promotion of urbanization and the increasing population, the transfer of rural labor force and the development of rural economy, new situations are constantly emerging in the process of agricultural production, such as the upgrading of planting technology and the improvement of food quality. Therefore, the balance of rice production, supply and demand has become a common concern of the country and farmers. Protecting and cherishing rice is not only a respect for Chinese traditional culture, but also a necessary condition for maintaining social stability and promoting economic development.
