The so-called warehouse-filling activity is that at dawn on the 25th of the first lunar month, every household will use sifted cooking ashes to scatter circles of varying sizes in the courtyard or threshing floor, symbolizing grain. store. Put some whole grains in it. Some people say that this means praying for a bumper harvest and a full store of food.

But there is another reason for the warehouse filling festival. It is said that a long time ago, northern my country encountered successive droughts. The land was bare for thousands of miles and no grains were harvested. However, the feudal emperors did not care about the life and death of the people. Just like in previous years, they imposed exorbitant taxes and expropriations, causing complaints and starvation everywhere. But it was said that an official who was guarding the granary couldn't bear it when he saw this tragic scene, so he opened the granary and rescued the people. He knew that this violated the royal law and the emperor would never forgive him. So after he asked the people to transport the grain away, he set a fire on the warehouse and burned himself alive. This happened on the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month. Later, in order to commemorate this kind official and repair the burned "sky warehouse", people decided this day to be the warehouse filling day. However, later, the meaning of filling positions expanded, and people gave it various other meanings.
