On the first day of the sixth lunar month, Qilu called this festival "New Wheat Festival", which means to celebrate the New Year. Festivals have regional characteristics and can only be held in Henan, Shandong and Jiangsu. Off-year is the middle of a year. At this time, we must celebrate and pray for a bumper harvest and good weather in the second half of the year. Especially in rural areas, pay more attention to ancestor worship and grave sweeping. People regard this day as a festival to celebrate the harvest and pray for the harvest in the coming year. At this time, the wheat has just been planted, and the joy of harvest permeates the hearts and eyebrows of farmers.

People set up tables in houses, hospitals and wheat fields, put steamed stuffed buns, jujube hill (a kind of steamed stuffed bun), peaches and pears on them, fill buckets with newly harvested wheat, paste the red word "Fu" on the buckets, and then burn incense and set off firecrackers to pray for good weather and a good harvest in autumn. After that, people happily ate a "chop suey" made of meat, vegetables, vermicelli and kelp. Adults are guessing in the wheat field, while children are eating and playing.

On this day, merchants will also have a holiday, and hold banquets to invite employees to eat, giving employees the greatest encouragement in their work. [1] In fact, there is an ancient saying that "there was a drought in May, and even rain could not be bought in June [2]", because in the eyes of ordinary farmers, May is the season of wheat harvest, so don't rain. In June, the growth of plants needs rain. At this time, the wheat has been planted, dried and put into storage, and the next rain will moisten and encourage rice and vegetables. [3-4] So on the first day of June, the old farmers will pray. [ 1]
