Zhandao color

In rice-growing areas in southern China, it is a popular custom to occupy the color of rice, that is, to predict the color of rice this year by frying glutinous rice flowers. Sufficient color means high yield, and insufficient color means the lowest yield. The color depends on the number of blooming glutinous rice flowers. The more glistening glutinous rice emerges. The better the rice harvest this year; The less rice flowers burst out, it means that the rice harvest is not good this year and the rice price will be expensive. "Flower" and "hair" are the same. There are omens of getting rich. In some places, Hakkas even use popcorn to worship celestial officials and local officials in order to pray for the beauty of heaven and earth, good weather and good harvest for every household.

(of a person) return to one's place of origin or unit.

Women who have given birth to children need to bring several cans of meat (stewed pig's feet, snow-capped mountains, soybeans and kelp in casserole, and then sealed the cans with red paper and red rope), chairs and other gifts to thank their parents for their parenting. For women who are not pregnant for a long time, their mother will sew a pair of red trousers for them to wear next to their bodies. It is said that this will help them get pregnant as soon as possible.

In addition, on rainy days, the son-in-law is not allowed to be idle, and she has to send a festival to her parents-in-law. Festival gifts are usually two rattan chairs wrapped in a 4-meter-long red ribbon, which is called "Shoushou", meaning to wish parents-in-law a long life. Another typical holiday gift is canned meat for men, which is for parents-in-law. This is to express gratitude and respect to the parents-in-law who have worked so hard to raise their daughters.

La baobao

On this rainy day, there is a very interesting activity in western Sichuan called "pulling bags". Ancient medical conditions were not good, in order to make a son or daughter grow up smoothly and healthily. Parents will pray for their children to see if their fate is good and if they need to find a michel platini. The purpose of looking for michel platini is to bring up the children with the blessing of michel platini. This move has evolved into a long-standing custom year after year, and it has been renamed as "pulling bags". The reason why Dad held the Rain Festival means that "the rain and dew are moist and easy to grow": there is a special place for pulling michel platini among the people in western Sichuan. No matter whether it's sunny or rainy, we have to pull Dad's parents to prepare the dining table with mm wrapped in scented wax paper, and take the children through the crowd to find the right person in michel platini. Want to let children grow up and read, pull a scholar to be michel platini; If the child is weak, pull a tall and strong person to be michel platini. Once someone is dragged to be a "michel platini", some can escape and some can't, most of them will readily agree, and think that this is because others trust themselves, so their fate will get better. Generally, after pulling, the puller repeatedly shouted "Be a dry in-law", so he packed up the snacks and snacks he brought, lit incense and some wax, and told the children to "worship michel platini and kowtow quickly"; "Invite michel platini to drink and eat vegetables", "Please ask your in-laws to give the doll a name", and the baby will be pulled successfully. Even if they break up, they will walk around all the year round. This is called "perennial in-laws", and some people who have never seen each other after breaking up are called "passing by in-laws".

"Pull the bag" means "pull the money dad". In ancient times, people believed in fate. Parents will pray for their children's divination, and they are more worried that Zen Chuan's son will die. So they must worship michel platini and protect their children with michel platini's blessing. Money dad didn't just worship. Parents should find a fortune teller according to their children's birthday and time, and the principle of Jin Mu's fire and water. If they agree, they will worship michel platini. If not, they will look again.

If fortune-tellers think that children are short of wood all their lives, it is necessary for michel platini to bring wood characters when asking michel platini to name their children. I believe this can bless children's longevity.

This custom has been handed down year after year, and it has evolved into the current "pulling bags".

In the rain festival, michel platini is pulled, which means that the rain and dew are moist and easy to grow. On this day, in front of the foothills of Luohan Temple (a specific place to pull bags), the road in Gubai Sensen was crowded with people. Witches, astrologers, paper money, incense wax, food stalls and mobile vendors were crowded, and good men, good girls and good boys gathered by the roadside, talking and laughing in groups of three or five, which was very lively. At this time, we will hold michel platini's parents' hands with bamboo baskets filled with dining tables, incense wax and paper money for children, and carry or hold or lead the children through the crowd to find suitable objects that can be used as michel platini. If parents expect their children to say hello when they grow up in college, they will pull a scholar who knows books, etiquette and words to be michel platini; If you want your children to be healthy, pull a tall and strong person to be michel platini. Once someone is dragged to be a "thousand fathers", they are unwilling to leave and leave: some people think that this is their trust and believe that their fate will be better after agreeing, so they readily agree. After pulling Qian's father, the children's parents repeatedly shouted "Be a dry in-law", then set up the snacks we brought, burn incense and wax, and let the children kowtow to michel platini; Then invite Qian's father to drink and eat vegetables or ask his in-laws to give the child a name and bring the baby here. Those who walk around all the year round after breaking up are called "perennial in-laws"; Some people who haven't seen each other since breaking up are called "crossing the road to be in-laws." This is La michel platini. You can choose the time and place. Some people don't choose the time and place, which is called "visiting michel platini".

Grab and send.

Among the people in western Sichuan, this custom spreads in the wet rainy season.

At dawn in the morning, there are some young women on the foggy roadside, holding their young sons or daughters hand in hand, waiting for the first passerby. Once someone passes by, no matter whether the other person is male or female, old or young, they should come forward to stop each other, hold their son or daughter on the ground, kowtow and send them away to be adopted sons or daughters for each other. This is called "bump into worship" among the people in western Sichuan, that is, whoever bumps into someone is who, and there is no predetermined goal in advance. "Bump, worship, send" is intended to bless children's smooth and healthy growth. In some rural areas today, this custom still exists, and in some places it has evolved into worshipping michel platini to relatives and friends, but the meaning of worshipping is to protect the healthy growth of children.

Rex sacrifices fish.

Rain on this day is a sign of a bumper harvest, so avoid not raining today. After beginning of spring in the south, the temperature rises, and the frozen river is about to be civilized. "Zhou Shu Shi Xun" said, "On rainy days, Rex sacrifices fish; The past five days. Hongyan is coming; Five days later, the vegetation germinated ",which is a description of the phenological changes after the rain. "When the otter goes fishing in the river, he likes to pile the bitten fish on the shore and wait for more fish to swim ashore and have a good meal. Because these fish are piled up like sacrifices to the gods, they are called Rex Sacrificial Fish in Zhou Shu. "Generalized Moon Order" says that "when it rains, otters sacrifice fish, which means that Japanese otters don't sacrifice fish, and national thieves are full". This means that if it rains and freezes on this day, the phenomenon of otters offering sacrifices to fish will not be seen, which means that the weather is abnormal, the autumn harvest cannot be good, and people's livelihood is difficult, so they will take risks and embark on the road of crime.
