What are the customs of the Minor Fullness solar term?

——Worshiping the Water Wheel God
Worshipping the water wheel god is an ancient custom in some rural areas. According to legend, the water wheel god is a white dragon. During the Minor Fullness period, people place fish meat, incense, candles, and other items on the water wheel for worship. The most interesting part is that among the offerings, there is a cup of clear water. When worshippers pour this water into the fields, it symbolizes the hope for abundant water sources and good harvests.
——Worshiping the Silkworm Goddess
According to legend, the Minor Fullness is the birthday of the silkworm goddess. Therefore, in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, there is a "Silkworm Festival" during the Minor Fullness period. In Chinese agricultural culture, "men plow and women weave" is typical. The material for weaving in the north is mainly cotton, while in the south, it is mainly silk. Silk needs to be obtained by raising silkworms and spinning cocoons, so sericulture is very prosperous in southern rural areas, especially in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.
Silkworms are delicate creatures, hard to raise. Factors such as temperature, humidity, and the coldness, ripeness, dryness, and moisture of mulberry leaves all affect their survival. Because silkworms are difficult to raise, they were regarded as "heavenly creatures" in ancient times. To seek forgiveness from these "heavenly creatures" and ensure a good harvest of silkworms, people hold the "Silkworm Festival" in April when they start raising silkworms.
