"Ginger" and "Stiff" are homophonic, and there is a superstitious saying in the northern countryside that "planting ginger under the eaves will break the wealth", which is not credible. This is formed when technology is underdeveloped and people's cognitive behavior is relatively backward, and there is no scientific basis.
Accelerating the germination of ginger: using the heatable kang in rural areas to accelerate the germination, first spread a layer of wheat straw on the kang with a thickness of about 10 cm, then spread 2-3 layers of paper on the wheat straw, and lay the ginger seeds on the paper layer by layer with a thickness of 60-80 cm. After planting ginger, let it dissipate heat, then spread a layer of grass with a thickness of 10 cm, and cover the top layer with a quilt to keep warm. The germination temperature can be adjusted by heating the heatable adobe sleeping platform or uncovering the mulch. The temperature should be controlled between 22℃ and 25℃, exceeding 28℃. Although the bud germinates quickly, it is very thin and long in vain.
