Introduction to rice farming: Historically, in addition to traditional farm tools and farming processes, Pinghu people also had some local customs during the rice planting process. Among them, the washing of rice seeds, soaking and sterilizing the seeds in lime water, and germination (commonly known as incubation) must be performed by experienced farmers, and others should not interfere and talk too much, so as to increase the germination rate. The first day of rice transplanting is commonly known as "opening the rice seedling gate", which symbolizes the beginning of rice farming. When pulling out seedlings, the seedlings pulled out by both hands must be tied together to form a handle, leaving a gap, commonly known as the "seedling gate". The handles of the seedlings have doors, which are a sign of prosperity and are also convenient for transplanting the seedlings into separate handles. For example, the handle of a seedling without a door, commonly known as "a handful of heads", is considered unlucky. On this day, farmers prepare fish, meat, wine and dishes, and the dish "fish" is indispensable, which means "thinking about the head". Also prepare a plate with pig heads, fish, wine, etc., and first fast at "Tian Gong Tian Po", hoping for a good harvest after autumn. When pulling out the first seedling and planting the first seedling, avoid opening your mouth, otherwise you may suffer from hand and muscle pain (commonly known as "seedling madness") and hand scabies (commonly known as "local eating"). When planting rice seedlings, two people are not allowed to pass the rice seedling handles, otherwise they will easily become enemies. People who plant rice seedlings should know that those who plant rice slowly should line up behind those who plant rice quickly. Otherwise, the rice transplanters will be planted in the fields all around, leaving only themselves behind in the middle, resulting in a boring ending. This phenomenon is called "wearing a long shirt". Also known as "Diaokongdai". Some people are modest or know they don’t know how to plant rice seedlings, especially if they are a new daughter-in-law, so they have to say politely: “If you don’t know how to be a good person, look to your aunt, and if you don’t know how to farm, look to your aunt.” The day when the rice transplanting is completed is commonly known as "closing the rice-planting gate", and sufficient labor must be arranged to complete the work as early as possible. If the rice-planting has not been completed until dark, it is commonly known as the "open skylight" in the field, which is considered unlucky. On the day after "Closing the Yangtze Gate", the man in charge of the family will go to the teahouse, which is called "eating Taijiao Tea", and the daughter-in-law will wash the clothes at home and return to her parents' home with fish and meat dishes to visit her parents.
