What is the meaning of the tapestry threads pumping early rice

"Tapestry Threads Drawing Early Rice" is a Jiangsu dialect saying that the early rice is removed before the late rice harvest in summer so that the late rice can grow better. This custom has existed for a long time and is still practiced in many rural areas. Like many traditional customs, the practice has faded with modernization.

The "wall carpet with threads to draw out the early rice" says that in the summer, farmers would leave a gap in the middle of the early rice before harvesting the late rice, and then make a wall carpet with threads strung together to prevent thieves from intruding. This action was actually a way of protecting property. Although this method is no longer used in many villages, the term "tapestry and threads of early rice" still exists and has become a symbol of the custom and culture.

The custom of "tapestry threads for early rice" has a long history, but it has gradually lost its practical use. Many villages have phased out the practice in favor of more modern anti-theft devices. Nevertheless, this custom still represents a traditional rural culture and reminds people of the days when they made tapestries. In any case, we should cherish and protect this traditional culture so that they can continue to be passed on as our cultural heritage.
