Customs of Miscanthus:

1. Boiled plums: In the south, May and June are the season for ripening plums. During the Three Kingdoms period, there was an allusion of "boiling green plums in wine to discuss heroes" . Green plums contain a variety of natural high-quality organic acids and rich minerals. They have unique nutritional and health functions such as blood purification, intestinal regulation, lowering blood lipids, eliminating fatigue, beautifying, regulating acid-base balance, and enhancing human immunity. Boil it with sugar and plums. Come and eat.

2. An Miao: Every time during the mist season, after planting rice, in order to pray for a good harvest in the autumn, Miao sacrifices are held in various places. Every household uses evaporated new wheat flour to make the noodles into shapes such as grains, livestock, fruits and vegetables, and then dyes them with vegetable juices as sacrificial offerings to pray for a good harvest and the safety of the villagers.

3. During the miscanthus season, fishermen along the coast are busy drying shrimps. Because it is the season of pawn seed, the hairy shrimp is in the spawning period, the body is plump, the meat is solid, and the nutritional value is better. People call the shrimp skin sun-dried during the awning period "awning skin".

Manzhong is the ninth solar term among the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar. At this time, the sun reaches 75 degrees of ecliptic longitude.

The word "awn" in awnzhong refers to the harvest of awned plants such as wheat, and the word "zhong" in awnzhong refers to the season for sowing millet crops. The homophonic pronunciation of the word "awnzhong" indicates that all crops are being "busyly planted". Therefore, "Mang Zhong" is also called "Busy Zhong", and farmers also call it "Busy Zhong". The arrival of "awn seeds" heralds the beginning of farmers' busy field life.
