Wang Bodhisattva is a vegetarian and will get thousands of dried tofu. 1February 12, silkworm's birthday, every household plans to pickle silkworm eggs. Some people use lime to pickle, while others use brine pool to pickle. February has passed the first month, and March is fine. Have a glass of Qi Xin wine on Qingming night and watch the early silkworms carefully. Turn around in the Great Compassion Pavilion and buy a silkworm paste plate. Red cotton silk wraps the silkworm eggs and gently puts them on the pillow. After resting for three days, I took a look and opened the silkworm eggs. A sharp knife cuts out golden silk slices, which leads to thousands of black ants. ……

It is said that King Ma Ming is the most influential and widespread silkworm god. The classic "Ma Ming Wang" belongs to a folk song ceremony song woven by sericulture. Generally, folk artists sing when offering sacrifices to the silkworm god, which is simple and elegant, mysterious and full of traditional Han culture.
