Semiannual Festival: The first day of the sixth lunar month is the Semiannual Festival. When the wheat harvest was over, new wheat was put into storage. In the old society, there was a custom of offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors.

Jing Tian's sacrifice is steamed bread wrapped in new flour or jiaozi. There are incense tables in the yard, burning incense and paper, and kowtowing to the north, in order to thank God for blessing and get a bumper harvest.

On the first day of June, the ancestor was sacrificed, and the sacrifice was jiaozi of new wheat bread for the ancestors to taste. The local area is also called "Shangxin Maifen".
