芒种到：关于芒种的7个小常识 7 things you must know about Grain in Ear

Say farewell to the flora 送别花神

In ancient China, on the second day of the second solar month, people welcome the arrival of the Flower Goddess. During Grain in Ear people hold sacrificial ceremonies to bid farewell to the flora and show their gratitude.

在中国古代，人们会在农历二月二日迎接花神的到来。芒种时节人们则会举行祭祀典礼送别花神，表达感激之情。

Today, this custom does not exist in many areas of China. The liveliness and excitement of the ceremony can still be seen in the 27th chapter of the Chinese classic novel A Dream of Red Mansions by Cao Xueqin.

如今，这一习俗在中国的许多地区都已经消失了。不过我们仍然可以在曹雪芹的古典小说《红楼梦》第27章中了解到生动有趣的祭饯花神仪式。
