Grain Buds   The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Grain Buds, the 8th solar term of a year, begins on May 20 this year. It means that the seeds from the grain are becoming full but are not ripe.   In China, the 24 solar terms were created thousands of years ago to guide agricultural production. But the solar term culture is still useful today to guide people’s lives through special foods, cultural ceremonies, gardening and even healthy living tips that correspond with each solar term. Let’s see what we can do during the “Grain Buds” period.   A good season for eating fish During the Grain Buds period, the summer harvest is about to begin. A saying about rain during this time mentions, “A heavy rainfall makes the river full.” Because of the great increase in rainfall, rivers are full of water, which makes fish and shrimp big and fat. This is a good time to eat fish and shrimp. It is also harvest season for fishermen.   A good season for eating mulberries A Chinese farmer proverb says, “Mulberries become black during the Grain Buds period.” Thus it is a good season to eat mulberries.   Tips on health preserving in Grain Buds High temperatures and humidity are common during the Grain Buds period. The increase in temperature over this season may also give rise to sweat spots, and other skin diseases. It is also important to exercise to keep healthy during the hot summer days. Walking, jogging and practicing tai chi is popular.   Celebrating silkworm deity birthday Silkworm rearing is a traditional byproduct for people in regions south of the Yangtze River. During the Grain Buds season, silkworms have cocooned. People begin to cook cocoons and prepare the spinning wheel for reeling silk.   People in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces regard this season as the birthday of the silkworm deity.   Those who engage in the silk industry thank the deity by offering sacrifices and staging performances. They pray to the deity for blessings and a boom season for the silk business.

Awakening of Insects marks the start of spring and brings a rise in temperature and rainfall, waking animals from their winter slumber. It is also an essential time for farmers to start spring agricultural activities. During this solar term, the sound of spring thunder can be heard.

The temperature rises above 10 degree Celsius, and there is an increase in sunshine, providing good natural conditions for farming. As old Chinese sayings go, ”once the Awakening of Insects comes, spring ploughing  never rests.”
