The first day of the sixth lunar month is a popular festival in China. 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".
On this day, in some places, married girls go back to their parents' homes, and in some places, it is absolutely forbidden to go back to their parents' homes on this day. After all, we don't attach so much importance to the Spring Festival. Generally speaking, we basically burn incense, set off firecrackers and sleep on bread made of new wheat. In some places, the first day of June is a sacrifice to ancestors, and the sacrifice is jiaozi wrapped in new wheat flour for ancestors to taste.

In eastern and southern Henan, there is a saying that the first day of June is a festival, especially in rural areas. People regard this day as a festival to celebrate the harvest and worship the harvest year. At this time, the wheat has just been planted, and the joy of harvest permeates the hearts and eyebrows of farmers. People put sacrificial tables in houses, courtyards and wheat fields, put five kinds of melons and fruits, such as steamed bread, jujube hill (a kind of steamed bread) and peaches and plums, fill buckets with newly harvested wheat, paste the word "Fu" on the buckets, and then burn incense and set off firecrackers to pray for good weather and a bumper harvest in autumn.
People happily eat "chop suey" made of meat, vegetables, vermicelli and kelp. Adults are guessing in the wheat field, while children are eating and playing.
