The custom of planting awns and protecting seedlings is a kind of farming custom activity in southern Anhui, and written records began in the early Ming Dynasty. Every season when rice seeds cover the sun, in order to pray for a good harvest in autumn, all localities should hold an Anmiao sacrifice.

5. Ploughing festival
There is a "Plowing Festival" in Yunhe County, Zhejiang Province, which is held on the day of Mango Festival in the 24th solar term of the lunar calendar.
There is a legend in Yunhe Meiyuan: cattle are the grass managers in the sky. Because he sympathized with the human famine, he secretly planted grass seeds, and as a result, weeds grew wildly to save livestock, and the farmland was flooded with weeds, so farmers could not cultivate. In order to punish the cow, God ordered him to go down to earth to plow the fields until today.
Farming is the seasonal embodiment that farmers in mountainous areas around Yunhe Meiyuan begin to plow in spring. In the past, the ploughing festival was called "Ox King Festival".
